Dark Seldarine

The Dark Seldarine, the pantheon of the Drow, is led by Lolth, the Spider Queen. She dominates the drow race’s lives and urge them into heavy infighting. She is opposed to varying degrees by the rest of the pantheon, to include her daughter Eilistraee.

Vhaeraun, her son, is among the opposers. He has the largest following on the surface and the second largest overall among the Dark Seldarine. Lolth considers him her real rival and enemy. The others are minor players. This might give off the impression that the Dark Seldarine is characterized by this two-top battle, however it isn’t.

In truth, Lolth’s domination over the pantheon and the drow is to such an extent, that even information on the other gods isn’t readily accessible to the drow. Vhaeraun’s existence and agenda is common knowledge among surface drow and in the Underdark where the Spider Queen isn’t absolute, in other words, it was scarce where she was absolute. Eilistraee, Lolth’s daughter, is both on the surface and in the Underdark, the stuff of wildly inaccurate and wrong legends. The majority of the rare few, who know of Kiaransalee, believe her to be an undead madwoman who is a goddess only in her fantasies, while Selvetarm is practically forgotten. Only Ghaunadaur is capable of making his presence known or at least felt on some level by most drow.
