Festivals |
Eilistraee’s sects observe a number of festivals. The Sword Dance is a ritual of shedding a small amount of blood and invoking Eilistraee’s favor to prevent a blade from breaking or rusting for the next three months. The High Hunt, celebrated at least once each season, is a nocturnal pursuit of a dangerous beast or monster, led by Priestresses of Eilistraee. By tradition, the hunters may use any bladed weapons and wear anything—except the Priestesses, who go naked, each carrying only a single sword. If the quarry is slain, the celebrants chant prayers and perform a circle dance to the deity. At least once a year, Priestesses of Eilistraee undertake a Run. They blacken their bodies with natural dyes and oils, and boil certain leaves and berries to make their hair silvery. They then go wandering on the surface world, trusting to their music, kind ways, and sword skills to keep from being slain on sight. They go where they are strangers, making an effort to seek out elven communities, and bring them game, succor, and helping hands. They try to learn new songs, music, and sword ways, and do not come to preach their faith or make a mark for themselves. Basically they are trying to prepare the world for the return of the drow, trying to combat the fearful stories told about the Lost Ones. |
