No,
But I've used her daughter before I found out what happened to her in Elaine's novels. :) So, another event I had to ignore. But her daughter runs a temple to Eilistraee and Eilistraee's daughter (the 2nd is a deity I created) on the surface in a city that was founded by adventurers in the Savage Frontier. It's the only one of the two places on the surface that drow are allowed to walk openly in my FR. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I don't actually utilise any of Mystra's Chosen in my campaigns... that is, aside from brief occasions when they may feature as useful campaign guidepoints or as informative NPCs to help the PCs along their way (and even that is rare -- to date, only Khelben and Storm have been utilised in this capacity and each only once). But none of them have ever had an active role in any of my campaigns. They are subtle characters... background elements that help to support my setting rather than take an active role in my campaign's events
Having said that though... I've considered using the Promenade of the Dark Maiden itself as a basis for a Skullport-oriented campaign of Eilistraee drow who are fighting a secret war against vile worshippers of Ghaunadaur. The restrictions on religious conflict in Skullport-proper however, are hampering my plans somewhat. I haven't yet considered what role, if any, Qilué will play.

| In a campaign a while back she had us go find some sword in a crypt or something. Plus she saved us I think a couple of times (including from a Beast of Malar) |

| I flick in cameo appearances of various Chosen of Mystra, including Quilué... hehe it was quite funny to see how the Elistraee cleric of the group fell to her knees, thinking it was her goddess... |
Mace's not so gentle gamer's journal My rants were harmless compared to this, beware! |

Hmm I would think it rather hard to confuse Quilué eith a naked, 9 foot tall Drow., but hey that is just me. *wink* Eilistraee would more likely use her avatar after all. |

I try to avoid using characters from novels or any other iconic characters in my campaigns. The only one that I have used so far was Scyllua Darkhope in my Zhentarim campaign.
It was a very big deal for the PC's to have a meeting with the Castellan of Zhentil Keep. |
