<br/>It likely stays but there is some fine details what the transformation gave to Abduxuel. But just note drows in general do use outsiders (any kind) but a devil in matron mother position is quite too fat to swallow (but then again it was more harder to swallow allow male on matron mother's throne).<br/>[/quote]<br/><br/>I wouldn't be surprised if Abduxuel uses his daughter to act as a puppet leader. It seems deception on a massive scale might actually make him even more powerful, since it allows him to accrue obvious power without being a target. "Ah that Brachina works for the first daughter who is taking over while the matron is away on business. it's very powerful, I bet Istrath will use it against the Matron Mother when she returns"<br/><br/><br/>Or better yet. He could act like he is only tenuously loyal to Istrath and allowing others to think he will betray her for them, only to crush them when they think they are going to take advantage of Matron Archwinters 'absense" and eliminate the first daughter.
