— The message of Eilistraee to all trapped Below
Dogma
Whenever and wherever possible, faithful of Eilistraee encourage drow to return to the surface world. They work to promote harmony between drow and surface-dwelling races, to establish drow as rightful, nonevil inhabitants of Faerûn. They establish temples, settlements and sanctuaries to aid in this endeavor, and often facilitate and engage in trade between the surface and Underdark.
The faithful of the Dark Maiden are encouraged to act with thoughtful kindness and gratitude, to promote happiness and gaiety whenever possible, and except for properly somber occasions, meals should be enjoyed with the accompaniment of song and merriment.
Faithful are encouraged to set aside provisions of food and offer to feed strangers in need, particularly outcasts and those of other races, and if food yet remains, that it should be donated to the priestesses of Eilistraee, that none shall go hungry.
The temple of Eilistraee is a staunch opponent of intolerance, evil, and oppression, and despises slavery in all its forms. Often, Eilistraeans will work to free others from enslavement, especially in the Underdark.
