Eilistraee's Song is a project, which expands the plot of Eilistraee - the deity of drows that rebelled against Lolth the Spider Queen. Eilistraee is actually mentioned in original BG2:SoA by Solaufein after we decide to let him go, but still players were never allowed to get know the full tale.
This mods adds content for players who decided to spare Solaufein's life and let him escape. That means that your decision in Underdark actually has a consequence in the later game. I think it's a pity in original BG2 your decisions in Ust Natha don't really matter in the later chapters. When Solaufein returns to you later, after escaping Ust Natha, he tells you how grateful he is. Eye for an eye, and friendly arm for a friendly arm - he tells you about a new place, where you can ask for help with getting your soul back.
Mod includes 6 new areas, 21 new items (2 of those are available through Cromwell) and obviously some new quests - it's up to you if you wish to complete them or focus on real quests and get your soul back. On the areas you may hear new music themes.
Also, there is a new kit available by completing one of minor quests, although there are some requirements (female, cleric - baseclass, multi- or dualclassed, non-evil character, elf or half-elf). Yes, it's a bit harsh, but that's what the D&D book says.
Installation:
-This mod is a WeiDU mod, so you can install it as any other WeiDU mod. Unzip the archive to your Baldur's Gate 2 directory and run Setup-Eilistraee.exe
-Note that this mod requires BG2:ToB installed!
-Mod is compatible with Solaufein NPC
-If you're using BG2EE START A NEW GAME to find the clearing on the map.

- EET compatibility (worldmap icon position adjustment)
- Cross-platform support: use HANDLE_AUDIO for ogg to wav conversion
- Removed usability text from EE item descriptions (EE generates usability text)
- Use EE-format TIS v2 and PVRZ area graphics (fix horizontal lines glitch)
- Cromwell will no longer take entire stacks of dust and gems when forging
- Added Italian translation by ilot
If bugs will be spotted, the mod will be updated again - when the time is right. Feel free to report stuff.
AFAIR the mod that used to do this is outdated.
I really don't know, where is the problem. Is adamantine dust the same item, that is used for upgrading Mace of distruption from Sir Sarles quest? Because, I have all the components, this adamantine, both parts of Silver sword, Lichs tooth, that gems, and still without possibility to make it.
Requirement for normal version:
PartyHasItem("ESxTOOT") PartyHasItem("DWDust") PartyHasItem("MISC27") PartyGoldGT(7499)The better version of the item requires:PartyHasItem("ESxTOOT") PartyHasItem("DWDust") PartyHasItem("MISC27") PartyHasItem("MISC8U") PartyGoldGT(11999)I've delivered Fall's message to Elhan and am about to go back to Fall...but how do I go to her? Where is she? It seemed like she was in a cave/tent but I can't remember where the entreance was
If you let Weimer's Solaufein join at this point, you will not encounter the Solaufein from the Solaufein Rescue mod, and also the rescue quest will not trigger.
If you try to cast "detect evil" inside the camp, he will immediately attack you.
Drow scum!
