Priestess of Eilistraee Magic card

Post by Irennan »

So, there's an upcoming Forgotten Realms-inspired Magic card set, and a new priestess of Eilistraee, that Ed introduced in 2020, will be featured on one card.

The card was leaked by a Chinese site: https://nga.178.com/read.php?tid=27393745&rand=432

The flavor text reads:
Eilistraee has taught us not to be bound by our blood.

Pursue with courage, we will all find beauty and light.
The priestess is named Trelasarra Zuind, and is in charge of the newly retaken Promenade. More on her here:

Well the card does at least appear to revive Eilistraee more in Realms. Of couse it is a MtCG item, that many might even reject as core canon.

Yeah, but what matters is that WotC is acknowledging it. They're pushing for all IPs being connected (look at all the MtG D&D settings) and on the same page, if the MtG team includes Eilistraee and Trelasarra, then it likely means that the D&D team won't do away with them.

The official translation is out, it says:
Eilistraee teaches us that we are not bound by the circumstances of our birth. We all may find beauty and light, if we have the courage to seek them.
Here's the bigger resolution of the art.
