"I know what you are worried about,"
Tyche continued to persuade, "but you must make a decision quickly now! You still need time to reorganize the church and preserve your strength as much as possible."
Wojin also knew the terrible consequences of hesitation at this time, and after not thinking for long, he severed some of the faith connections.
Tyche smiled at the relieved Wojin, "Your decisiveness has earned you an opportunity, and you will use it."
On her outstretched palm, a golden radiance attracted Wojin's full attention, the divine office of commerce stirring, yearning for this ray of divinity.
"How can commerce gain trust without the power of contracts? If you obtain the divine office of contracts, then no one can shake your dominance in the commercial field."
Tyche's words were extremely tempting to Wojin. She knew that after merging the divine office of contracts, she would have the possibility of further advancement! But she still suppressed her desire for the divine office of contracts with astonishing willpower. After the fall of the ancient sun god Amanata, the legal domain was completely lost.
And the fact that Tyche could produce the divine office of contracts, which belonged to the legal domain, was enough to make Wojin wary.
"Then what do you expect me to pay for this?"
In Wojin's eyes, reason took the lead again, "I desire it, but I will never take unnecessary risks for it."
"It's very simple," Tyche handed over the divine office of contracts, "As long as you can swear an oath to the River Styx and form a stable alliance with us, it will be enough." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The Goddess of Magic, Mystra, quietly appeared, "If it involves a war at the level of intermediate deities, you can even stand by and watch."
"Our conditions are very generous, aren't they?"
Tyche and Mystra stood side by side, waiting for Wojin to make her choice.
And Wojin did not disappoint the two goddesses. The fleeting waves of the River Styx witnessed the oath, and the alliance of the three goddesses was thus established.
Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, was still very useful. Wojin, who was in a difficult situation, needed an influential ally to protect herself in the coming tide; for now, Mystra was the best choice, at least she was stronger than the Goddess of Love, Shaundakul!
With the restraint of the oath of the River Styx, the churches of the three goddesses could cooperate more closely.
The main figures of various churches who received the oracle gathered together. Mystra could mobilize all her forces. The appearance of the great sage Elminster and the Seven Sisters of the Silver Hand immediately stabilized the situation! Coupled with the financial resources of Wojin's church and the good reputation of the Church of Charity, this force was enough to make any power take notice.
The chosen ones who were granted divinity began to plan their next actions. Luqui, a drow elf mage and one of the Seven Sisters of the Silver Hand, actively approached the Pope of the Church of Charity. Luqui came to seek cooperation. Tyche had obtained the divine office of the Underdark for quite some time. Although this divine office was not valued by Tyche, the good drow elves represented by Luqui would not miss any opportunity to gain allies.
As a chosen one of both Mystra and Eilistraee, Luqui was undoubtedly the best candidate to undertake the bridge connecting the Underdark and the forces of good!
Eilistraee, a chaotic good drow elf goddess, unlike her mother, the Spider Queen Lolth, has always been committed to guiding the fallen drow elves back to the right path.
The forces of good have little interest in the Underdark, and the support they could give to Eilistraee has always been limited. Eilistraee, who could not stand alone, lost her last temple under her mother's suppression. The good drow elves could only rely on tunnels and caves for guerrilla warfare.
In the near future, Eilistraee's faith might disappear from the Underdark.
"The Church of Charity is very happy to extend a helping hand to the drow elves who yearn for the light," the white-haired female Pope immediately replied, "but the goddess's power is not suitable for combat, and the church can only provide material and logistical assistance."
Seeing the undisguised disappointment on Luqui's face, the female Pope continued, "If you are willing to believe me, all the parishes of the Church of Charity are willing to open their doors to the drow elves. I swear in the name of the goddess that your compatriots will not be treated unjustly!"
The sudden appearance of a large cake caught Luqui by surprise. If the drow elves could really leave the Underdark and live on the surface, Eilistraee would have no worries! No matter how difficult the situation was, there would still be a chance to make a comeback!
"Sacred one of the Goddess of Charity, please allow me to seek the opinion of Goddess Eilistraee."
After receiving the smile of the female Pope, Luqui immediately called out to Goddess Eilistraee.
Chosen ones possess divinity granted by the gods, and their calls always receive a response.
In the Hall of Knowledge, Eilistraee's avatar visited Tyche's divine realm.
"Greetings, benevolent Goddess of Charity."
Eilistraee was naked, her shining silver hair enveloping her body.
Tyche paused for a moment and immediately reacted, inviting Eilistraee to be seated.
"Welcome, maiden of the Underdark."
Eilistraee possesses six divine offices: moonlight, dance, beauty, swordsmanship, hunting, and singing. She is the daughter of Corellon Larethian, the chief god of the elves, and Eilistraee, the goddess of elven destiny, and the sister of Vhaeraun.
Because she inadvertently participated in Eilistraee's rebellion against the elven gods, she was exiled along with her mother and brother. Although her father Corellon pardoned her unintentional mistake, Eilistraee still insisted that she too must be exiled—because she foresaw that these dark elves would need a beacon to guide them back to goodness.
Eilistraee is now the chief drow elf goddess Lolth. She, along with Vhaeraun, who became the drow elf god of thieves, and her grandson, the drow elf warrior god Sevintam, formed the original drow pantheon.
Tyche did not know how the gentle and elegant elven queen became so terrifying now, but according to Shar, Lolth was a scapegoat thrown out by Corellon Larethian.
The new elven queen, Angharradh, was born from the fusion of parts of the divinity of Sahannine, the elven moon goddess, Adeira, the winged elf goddess, and Sehanine, the elven goddess of love. She governs the divine offices of spring, fertility, planting, birth, defense, and wisdom. Like Corellon, she is a powerful deity.
"Your Highness Tyche, thank you for being willing to accommodate my followers."
Eilistraee said very seriously, "I want to invite you to fight against the Spider Queen Lolth with me and become the second goddess to guide the drow elves to embrace the light."
The reputation of the drow elves is extremely bad, even worse than orcs and svirfneblin. It is almost impossible to find forces willing to accommodate them in the entire Prime Material Plane.
Under the leadership of the Spider Queen Lolth, the drow elves have fallen into an era of infighting. In order to compete for power and the Spider Queen's favor, the scene of daughters killing mothers and sisters betraying sisters is always replaying; Lolth encourages her followers to do so, and killing close relatives as sacrifices can even earn Lolth's rewards.
In drow families, women hold the dominant position, and men are the accessories. The leaders of the family—the Matron Mothers—and the priests with power second only to the Matron Mothers are all female drow. Male drow can only be warriors and rogues; moreover, some roles are exclusive to females, and even resistance by males is a sin.
