Editing Seven Sisters

{{dnd-stub}}
The '''Seven Sisters''' are a set of... well, seven sisters who are highly important to the [[Forgotten Realms]]. At least, they were prior to [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. They are the result of the goddess [[Mystra]] specially engineering the birth of seven girl-children from a possessed mortal host to serve as her Chosen, since she'd had very bad luck with picking adults to fill the role, as they tended to either go crazy or be more independently minded than Mystra wanted. [[Elminster]] played a big role in their lives.

The Seven Sisters had their own dedicated [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] [[splatbook]], titled, simply, "The Seven Sisters".

==Conception==
Mystra possessed a she-wizard named Elué and seduced a [[ranger]] named Dornal Silverhand, whom had been in love with Elué, to conceive seven children in turn. But a mortal host couldn't sustain a god's essence for the years it took, and towards the end of the 7th and final pregnancy, Elué's body was basically a spectacularly well-preserved [[lich]]. Dornal grew suspicious of why his wife was so weird and managed to figure out that she had been possessed; confronting her, he forced Mystra to reveal the truth, and was so disgusted by the revelation that he turned his back on both arcane magic and his seven daughters, walking away and avoiding them for the rest of his life.

==Anastra Syluné Silverhand==
More commonly known as "Syluné", she was a founder of the [[Harpers]] and spent many years as the kindly Witch of Shadowdale before being slain by a [[Chromatic Dragon|Red Dragon]]. She existed as a unique [[ghost]] called a Spectral Harpist for a long time after that, but was ultimately destroyed by agents of [[Shar]]. Became a part of the restored weave as a Weaveghost, and could manifest at altars dedicated to Mystra.

==Alustriel Silverhand==
The Lady of Silverymoon, founder of the nation known as the Silver Marches.  Still alive, fucks a lot, mostly retired these days.

==Dove Falconhand==
A towering giantess of a woman who, ironically, disdained her natural talent for magic and instead preferred to focus on swordplay and wilderness lore; she served as a [[ranger]] in an adventuring company known as the Knights of Myth Drannor, marrying a fellow Knight named Florin Falconhand. Died fighting against the Shadovar in 1487 DR, but also returned as a Weaveghost.

==Storm Silverhand==
The only other of the Seven Sisters raised by [[Elminster]] who stayed with him in Shadowdale, alongside Anastra; a co-founder of the [[Harpers]], she was known as the Bard of Shadowdale.

==Laeral Silverhand Arunsun==
Married the wizard-lord Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun of [[Waterdeep]] and became his beloved consort. Spent a long time being mind-controlled by an evil crown possessed by a sliver of a dead god.  

As of 5th Edition she had returned to become the "Open" Lord of Waterdeep.

==The Simbul==
Birth name "Alassra Silverhand". Raised by [[Elminster]], grew up to become his lover. Founder of the kingdom of Aglarond, a self-titled "friend of the [[fey]]" and an interfering self-righteous busybody who secretly dreamed of shattering all human nations into small, rural communes that would be forced to live in harmony with the fey and [[demihuman]] races. Incredibly powerful, more than a little mad, and a bitter enemy of [[Thay]]. Died permanently while restoring the Weave and preventing Elminster's death, causing her soul to dissipate into nothingness. 

==Qilué Veladorn==
Arguably the most [[Mary Sue]] of all the Seven Sisters. When Mystra was forced to reveal herself to Dornal Silverhand, it proved more than her host-body could stand. Desperate to save her seventh daughter, she made a bargain with a pregnant [[drow]] priestess of [[Eilistraee]] who had led a congregation of renegade drow away from the major cities of the [[Underdark]], inadvertently killing her own baby in the womb through the stress. With the agreement of the priestess and Eilistraee, Mystra swapped the drow's dead child for her own living one, and Qilué was thusly born as a drow who grew up to be both a powerful wizard ''and'' a priestess of both Mystra and Eilistraee simultaneously. Slain by Halisstra Melarn after the [[Silence of Lolth]], but returned later as a Weaveghost.
