I read the novel Tangled Webs awhile back, so I know there are a group of Eilistraee Drow in the forest of Cormanthor, usually fighting with the Vhaerunites. However, I can't find them listed in sources, does anyone know where I might find more information?

The section on Cormanthor in the FRCS only list the two Vhaerunite groups, and in the history of the region I can only find references to the Twisted Tower, and how it served as a temple of Eilistraee for a short time before being taken back by the Drow. I can't seem to find anything on this currently active group.

Ed has commented a little on those followers of the Dark Maiden. I am not sure there is any thing in print concerning them.

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Isnt there mention of a Temple to Eilistaee in the forest in Harrowdale in the FRC?

Also you should check out Lisa Smedmans War of the spider queen novel

Maybe thats the novel I'm thinking of, I'm getting all my Drow 'chicks' mixed up. Didn't Liriel meet some too?

Now that I think about it, it probably is Halastra I'm thinking of, something about killing a priestess of Eilistraee and she forgave her?

So I guess I got to dig the novels out of storage if I want the whole scoop. I was hoping there was at least a little something in source. I'll be checking that Harrowdale entry though, thanks for that Dargoth.

EDIT: Just found what I was looking for in Demi-human deities. I was so busy checking regional sources I didn't even think to check there.

Liriel met Eilistraee followers in Skullport. She and Fyordor and the followers of Eilistraee fought against the Dragon Hoard, a merc band of Vhaeraun.
