It is 20 years before the Time of Troubles. Ellistraee does not yet exist.

Sorry but I don't think good Drows are allowed, which is good in my opinion.  |

Elistraee existed waaay before the time of troubles, she was part of the original elven panthenon, before the illythiri became the drow, and was the daughter of Corellon and Araushnee (who later became lolth)
forgive any misspellings, i'm dredging this stuff out of my brain as well as i can.

She definitely exsists, but I'm not sure how active she was at this point. I know she willfuly was banished with her mother so that she could attempt to lead some of the Drow back into the Good pantheon of elves. She was with her mother in the demonweb pits, or abyss, one of the two for awhile. I do not believe she made her own following though until she actually was allowed to escape from Lolth. Eventually she succeeds in getting her followers accepted back into the elf pantheon, turning them from drow into dark elves. However she is killed by the lady penitent, a drow preistess who betrayed lolth and followed ellistrae for awhile, then betrays elistrae and is turned into an immortal servant of Lolth. This all happens long after the time setting we are in, and I do not believe Elistrae would have any follwers at this point. Elistrae's reign as a drow goddess is successful, but short lived. *edit, she was definitley active with a following during Lolth's silence, I will try and find out what year this as. *edit Silence of Lolth was 1372-1373 DR, I believe we are past this point, if so yes Elistrae would be an active diety. *edit, Elistrae is killed in 1379 DR, lol that was more short lived than I thought. |

The server is set in 1352, Lolth has not gone silent yet. Elistree is alive and is shes alive she must have -some- followers but she wont have many thats for sure. |

Not that I will play one but still. well, in human society, children during their developmental years could be exposed to either good or evil. drow, however, are exposed only to evil. furthermore, they are brainwashed from the time they begin their studies, with those who resist on the receiving end of the priestesses' snake headed whips. lolth favors chaos, and especially the inter-house wars that are relatively commonplace as each house tries to move up the ladder. the key rule during these wars is that no noble can survive. if even a single one does, they have the right to claim drow justice. where the attacking house is usually destroyed. not for the attack itself, but for letting a noble survive. then there's the in house rivalries, almost always between the females in a power struggle for control of the house. the youngest daughter plans to kill the older ones. the middle daughters plan to kill the older ones, and keep a close eye on their younger sisters in case the younger ones decide to make their move. the older daughters are watching the younger ones, and planning to kill their mother to gain control of the house. this type of behavior is practiced by 99.9999% of drow society. a good drow is pretty much one in a million, or even billion. hell, drizzt was to be sacrificed to lolth the instant he was born so that she would grant house do'urden extra power to kill of a higher ranking house. except during the raid, which was taking place while matron malice was squeezing drizzt out, the middle son killed the oldest one so that his rank in the house would rise. lolth accepted the oldest son's death as the sacrifice, so they just let drizzt live because they planned on having him take denin's place as the second boy. |

Yes as roleplayers we tend to play the one in a millions...and the surfacing drow are outcasts and renegades anyways so they might be the few good ones. Or an evil one on the run. Very good reasoning though, it now makes sense on why all the monsters are evil...
