    The Seldarine Splits
    Disbandment

    Araushnee, with the help of her son Vhaeraun, gathered a host of evil deities opposed to the Seldarine, and convinced them to attack Arvandor, in an attempt to overthrow Corellon. She had planned for the assault to ultimately fail, as her actual goal was for his consort to be killed during the battle and to replace him as Coronal(the title for the person who rules over an Elven realm) of Arvandor. She tricked Eilistraee into dangerously injuring her own father, but the conspiracy was ultimately thwarted by Sehanine Moonbow and Corellon’s life was saved. After her betrayal, Araushnee was banished by Corellon, while Vhaeraun was simply exiled. Even though she was cleared from all guilt, Eilistraee chose to share her mother’s and brother’s punishment, because she knew that the drow would need her light in the times to come.
