📋 About This Mod
Sword Dancers are the order of specialized clerics of Eilistraee that focuses on directly emulating their goddess; becoming artists, diplomats, leaders, and protectors of the followers of the Dark Dancer. They are an extension of the goddess’ own motherhood of the drow people; aim to assist and protect other Drows that need help, especially from the grasps of Lolth. They also often take the role of emissaries among other races, promoting the harmony and cooperation between Drows and other races.
