Lolths son. She encouraged her son's rivalry with her, for it appealed to her love of chaos. On the other hand, her son's successes at swaying the drow to his cause of destroying her, her followers, and her version of society, this led her to consider him a threat.
He amassed the second largest following among drow overall (the largest on the surface) and was an ever expanding force, to the point that Lolth considered Vhaeraun her real enemy and rival.
The two had no common ground: Lolth promoted favoritism towards females, while Vhaeraun promoted gender equality, The Masked Lord urged his followers to cooperate with surface elves. Vhaeraun attracted those who wanted change in their societal progress, economic growth, and territorial expansion. Vhaeraun encouraged settling the surface.
Vhaeraun's masked traitors, clerical spies Lolth had mistakenly believed members of her own clergy, were enough of a problem that she considered their discovery, and warning her clergy of their existence, worthy of her personal attention. Indeed, Lolth, who normally gave worshipers of other drow gods a second chance on being found out, made an exception for Vhaeraun's followers, who were killed right away.
