Vhaeraun, The Lord of Shadow
…Why are things so cruel and divisive? Why isn't there more harmony, mutual enjoyment, and common growth in power? Why, after thousands of years, are we still all stuck in this one cavern…?It is a common belief among the Drow that Vhaeraun perished during his failed assassination attempt on Eilistraee in Arvandor. This has led to a significant decline in his worship, with most former followers seeking solace in other deities such as Eilistraee, Shar, Lloth, or turning away from the divine altogether. To those who once revered Vhaeraun but have now shifted their faith, he is seen as a fallen and defeated deity. They view his failed plot against Eilistraee as a sign of weakness and a testament to his inability to challenge the prevailing order. The disaffected Drow believe that Vhaeraun's downfall signifies the futility of his cause and his inability to bring about the changes they yearned for. While some former followers have turned to other deities, there are still a few fervent believers who cling to their faith in Vhaeraun. They see him as a deity in hiding, biding his time until he can rise again and reclaim his position of power. These staunch loyalists view the purported death of Vhaeraun as a deception, a ruse orchestrated by their deity to ensure his survival and further his ultimate goals. However, even among the remaining faithful, doubts and uncertainties persist. The scarcity of spells or prayers granted by Vhaeraun has eroded confidence in his presence and efficacy. The lack of visible manifestations or direct interventions has led some to question whether their devotion is in vain. From the perspective of disaffected Drow, Vhaeraun represents a symbol of shattered hopes and unfulfilled promises. His alleged demise has left a void within their hearts and a sense of disillusionment. Some have moved on to new faiths, seeking guidance and solace elsewhere, while others continue to hold on to the remnants of their belief, hoping for Vhaeraun's triumphant return.
In time, perhaps, you can redeem yourself and return to the fellowship of Arvandor.
