The Sword Dancers of Eilistraee are sacred performers, warriors, and spellcasters devoted to the Dark Maiden. Guided by music, moonlight, and divine grace, they wield enchanted blades and inspire allies with their magical songs. Combining bardic spellcraft with ritualistic swordplay, Sword Dancers invoke Eilistraees Moonfire, charm foes with haunting melodies, and defend the innocent through motion and harmony. Whether dancing in silence beneath starlit skies or leading the charge with a shining blade, Sword Dancers are emissaries of beauty, mercy, and retribution
The Sword Dancers of Eilistraee are divine performers who channel the Dark Maidens grace through blade and song. Blending elegant swordplay with lunar magic, they dance across the battlefield, radiant with purpose. As full spellcasters, they draw from the Bard spell list and invoke Channel Divinity to heal, protect, or smite in Eilistraees name. Through spellsinging, a sacred form of vocal magic, they charm foes and enchant allies, turning every battle into a rite of light and sound. Both liturgists and agile duelists, Sword Dancers strike with silvery blades and voices blessed by moonlight, bringing hope to the innocent and ruin to the wicked.
Darksong Knights are the paladin order of the Sword Dancers of Eilistraee, warrior devotees who embody the Dark Maidens will through divine swordplay and sacred song. Blending blade mastery with spellsinging, they channel Eilistraees moonlit wrath to smite evil, protect the innocent, and uplift allies. Their strikes shimmer with radiant conviction, each battle a vow, each blow a hymn to the goddess enduring grace. Where the Sword Dancer Spellsings from afar, the Darksong Knight charges into the fray, a blade guided by rhythm and purpose.
Sword Dancer Progression
Sword Dancer has the full Bard spell list, Cleric Cantrips and gains Channel Divinity charges. It will benefit from Mods like Mystras spells and 5th Edition spells or anything that modifies Bard spell list or Cleric cantrips. Spells will be cast using a Musical Instrument if you have one equipped just like a Bard would. It gains Sword Dancer Domain Spells during progression including Spellsong which is powerful enchancements of existing spells or brand new ones like Spellsong: Song of Rapture.
