Qilué is the drow member of the Seven Sisters. She's a priestess of Eilistraee, and is usually found in the Promenade, the temple to Eilistraee located outside Skullport on Undermountain's third level.
She appears briefly in a couple of the Starlight & Shadows books by Elaine Cunningham, in the book Silverfall by Ed Greenwood, and in the 2E supplement The Seven Sisters (which has the most information on her). |

Now, she is the Chosen of both Eilistraee and Mystra... think there is ever a conflict of interest? That could get extremely messy.

Per Ed, Chosen of Eilistraee is a title. It is one shared by all the priestesses of Eilistraee serving at the Promenade. Quoth Ed:
quote:
Qilue is a Chosen of Mystra with all the powers and special status other Chosen of the Mother Of All Magic possess.
Eilistraee wanted a “claim” on her, too, hence her Chosen of Eilistraee title. It means two things: she’s as loyal to Eilistraee as to Mystra (in daily practise, as shown in SILVERFALL, more so), and Eilistraee foresees using her in some great task (i.e. a not-yet-revealed destiny).
Being as this is Candlekeep, I can do no more than point you to what a Harper PC (not one of the Knights) uncovered when asking a monk of Candlekeep to research Qilue’s destiny. The monk was of course limited to finding prophecies and other written histories, and reported thus: one seer saw a dream wherein Qilue wielded a sword forged of her own blood, and was hailed by knights as “the Godslayer.”
However, another seer (the monk declined to identify either of his sources, BTW) said “the dark one who serves two goddesses but leads the dance for only one shall be mother to a new race, and change the face of the Realms forever.”
Either way, it seems Qilue’s future bids fair to be interesting.

| I was very surprised to be Alustriel. I guess that I always pictured myself more as a male Dove Falconhand. Go figure. It was a fun 2 minutes to take it. |
If the rest of humanity were only as smart as my familiar...... |

Per Ed, Chosen of Eilistraee is a title. It is one shared by all the priestesses of Eilistraee serving at the Promenade. Quoth Ed:
However, Ed later said on March 21st 2004, "Qilue Veladorn: [accent grave missing over the “e” in “Qilue” thanks to my primitive e-mail] the Chosen of both Mystra and Eilistraee, Qilue looks like a drow, albeit with silver hair, and in manner, speech, and expression, is the least friendly and approachable of the Seven (except when compared to an angry Simbul), and is as restless as the Simbul, torn between “her two mothers” and unsure of her destiny and what she should be doing; enjoys human company (see SILVERFALL) but prefers dancing in worship of Eilistraee in moonlit forest with fellow drow more than anything else; half-fears and yet is strangely excited that either Mystra or Eilistraee intends her to wed someone she might not like (she has no idea who, this is just a notion); is most like an adolescent in lack of confidence of all the Seven. In dealings with strangers, will be polite, wary, yet quick to warn of offense (and servile to no one)."
And to Cren, how about the leaders of the Emerald Enclave, the three of them are all Chosens of three deities. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

From :http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/drow2
quote:
Qilué Veladorn: Oilué is a priestess of Eilistraee. In addition to her powers as a priestess, she is Chosen (empowered with direct power from a deity) of both Eilistraee and Mystra. Qilué is mother of Ysolde and high priestess of the Promenade.
though not sure what powers she gets from Eilistraee.
From: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20020503ex1
quote:
The church of Eilistraee has little in the way of formal hierarchy. Its congregants tend to gather in small, independent bands in deep forests across Faerûn. One individual is acknowledged as the high cleric of the faith, however: Qilué Veladorn, Chosen of Eilistraee, Chosen of Mystra, and one of the Seven Sisters. Qilué's authority is a subtle one, her words taken by most members of the faith as advice from a wise elder sister.
Also it should be noted Qilué is often called Chosen of the Chosen by Eilistraee followers, perhaps even a few others. A slight difference form being Chosen of Eilistraee.

| I got Storm. I was kinda hoping for Dove because, while they are very simliar, Storm has this pesky habit I don't share of walking around naked half the time... |

I got Storm in spite of saying that the one thing I would grab before running out of the house was clothes.

Heheh. Yeah, I think mine is of the opinion that it'd be really cool to run around nekkid, if it weren't for all those people out there. |

It said I was Dove, no surprise there......

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power
