Lolth

The Spider Queen, Queen of Spiders, Demon Queen of Spiders, Queen of the Abyss, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Weaver of Chaos, the Hunted, Mother of Lusts, Dark Mother of All Drow, Lady of Spiders

Lolth teaches that although love is gentle and kind, it is also frail and useless. Fear, however, is like steel; strong and sharp. It is always better to be feared than to be loved. Followers should build their web and make sacrifices of outsiders, slaves, and men who blaspheme against the Spider Queen. Drow must teach their children to worship The Dark Mother and see that their family provides at least one priestess to her cause.
The Lolthite clergy is almost entirely comprised of women, though there are a few exceptions. These priestesses often function as powerful political and religious leaders within their communities, and are known for being cut-throat, in order to secure more personal power and to appease their goddess. Among her clergy are two orders of crusaders, the exclusively male Militant Myrlochar, and the exclusively female Handmaidens of the Spider Queen.
Noble drow houses maintain their own private temples to Lolth, overseen by the matriarch of their family. Major cities host grand temples used for training clergy, and also host large gathering areas used for matters of public ceremony, calls to war, and so on. Though temples may vary greatly in size, they all follow the same general design, with dark inner chambers used for worship and spellcasting, featuring black stone statuettes of the Spider Queen. Additional antechambers are devoted to specific purposes like war planning, libraries, treasuries, and so on.
