The first thing Shar saw when he left the Underdark was the moon. Full and bright and shining, casting its soft light down on the earth. It was just bright enough; sunlight would hurt his sensitive eyes. But the moon was beautiful in the cloudless sky surrounded by the stars. She seemed to smile down at Shar welcoming him topside, to a new life of freedom and light.

She had worshippers, he could see. A bevy of elves, high and dark, dancing in the moonlight. Followers of Eilistraee, goddess of song, dance, moonlight and surface dwelling elves and drow. The stars twinkled when one dark elf welcomed Shar to the surface. Had he been looking up then, instead of staring in surprise at finding others like him, he’d have seen what looked like a silver-haired ebony-skinned elf dancing across the face of the moon.
