Re: Eilistraee's teachings and real-life politics

Thank you for your excellent analysis and the effort you put in your reply, Irennan! 1) I was aware of the fear of clashing cultural ideas, but I didn't know the term control theories. Can you give me more reading on that matter? Another thing that's important with advocating for refugees is somethi...

Re: New info re: the Changedance

So eventually realizing that self expression extends to non-binary individuals, the dance would continue to change. And you could work with the clergy performing the ceremony to make sure your dance worked exactly as you wanted. Genderfluid people would likely have a series of dances they knew so t...

Re: A Clearing Near Baldur's Gate

Anjana turned to the newcomer. "Welcome! I do understand you, friend. Although I do not understand 'Abbil.' Is that your name? I'm Anjana. I'm afraid I do not speak Drow, but I certainly would be willing to learn." She smiled. "But anyway, please, make yourself comfortable! And tell m...

[CK3] The Church of Eilistraee on Earth

[[Welcome to my first CK3 Let's Play. Not sure where to post it, so I posted it in this forum. I know the rules say others may not comment, but I would like to waive that, as I'm going to ask for voting on certain decisions later. Was trying to get a mod with drow working, but didn't manage to, so ...

Re: A Clearing Near Baldur's Gate

Anjana just had finished lighting the bonfire in the clearing's center, when the first people arrived. One of them, a drow, spoke, well, drow. Anjana was taken by surprise for a moment, but recovers quickly enough. She should have thought of that! Of course, some of Eilistraee's followers would spea...

Re: Eilistraee's teachings and real-life politics

Thank you for your in-depth reply! I'll just state what caused my exhaustion and despair: I'm in Germany, Bavaria to be specific, and we had state elections last year. At that point, 80% of people, including 50% of my own party (the Greens), said they wanted "stricter asylum regulations." ...

Re: New info re: the Changedance

Yeah, I understand, I'm trans as well. As for one's true self, I used that term to include non-binary people. I don't have that experience myself, so I'm not sure how to be do that, but maybe the change dance would just give you the body you're most comfortable with? In that case, it would be useful...

Eilistraee's teachings and real-life politics

I'm not entirely sure if this is allowed, but I did not see a rule against it, so I'd like to ask: What's your real-life view of Eilistraee's teachings? I'm asking, because the alignment of my politics with her is what drew me to her, especially her focus on kindness to all and defending that kindne...

Eilistraee and Selune

What is Eilistraee and Selune's relationship? I've read they are allies, but little about them interacting. But I'm fairly new to Forgotten Realms, I've played NWN, but never really got into the lore until recently with BG3. I do think Eilistraee would be so totally proud of Isobel and Aylin . :p Bu...

Yeah, same for me. I wonder if there's a version of the changedance that turns you into your true self.

In any case, I do like the new inclusivity.

A Clearing Near Baldur's Gate

The moonrise was beautiful. Yes, she had to prepare the event, but still, Anjana could not help but watch. The fading sun cast its light on the middle-aged human woman clad in what would be simple peasant clothes, if not for all the red silken bands woven through-out. As she moved around, preparing ...
