Lolth, the Spider Queen
Goddess of Spiders of Lies
Description
Lolth is the chaotic evil god of shadow, lies, and spiders. Scheming and treachery are her commands, and her priests are a constant force of disruption in the otherwise stable society of the evil Drow. Outside of the dark elves, her cults find themselves scattered across the world, filled with individuals looking to overthrow elven civilisation or otherwise influence political and commercial powers. Though she is properly a god and not a demon, she is called Demon Queen of Spiders due to her origins stemming from The Abyss. Following her tenets, Lolth looks for fealty from all drow, who she considers her children having brought them into the world. Aside from them, she desires for all her followers to seek out opportunities for claiming power and influence in the world. She expects them to do so with expert subtilty and slander as she has a strong distaste for more barbaric approaches. Those who count themselves amongst her most devout followers also take active step to destroy non-drow, elven civilisation.Tenets of The Spider Queen
- Do whatever it takes to gain and hold power.
- Rely on stealth and slander in preference to outright confrontation.
- Seek the death of elves at every opportunity.

History
The Prime Millenia
Lolth was one of the last Gods to extend their influence onto Albion. After discovering her nemesis, Corellon, had brought the elves to the world, she sought to bring her own children to exterminate them. Soon after, she began to look for other groups who shared her distaste for the elves and began to exert her influence on them, promising power if they could aid her in their removal.The Age of Ascension
Lolth's follower's infiltrated different governments to gain control of them. To Be Confirmed.The Post-Aspect Era (The Era of Restoration)
Despite The Aspect Wars' end, Lolth's goals remain the same. She instructs her followers to infiltrate organisations and political structures to gain control over as much of Albion as possible. From this position, she knows her worshippers would then be in the best possible place to eradicate all elven life on Albion, finally getting the upper hand on her nemesis, Corellon.Worship
