Lolth

Queen of Spiders

Lolth first began as an intermediary goddess abiding in the sixty-sixth layer of the Abyss, the Demonweb Pits. Through of the Abyss, the Spider Queen transformed herself into a greater goddess using her power to make the Demonweb Pits its own plane. The evil god of deceit, shadows, and spiders, the Spider Queen weaves a complicated web of schemes and treachery through her worshipers, deceiving allies and enemies alike to gain power. The Spider Queen’s worship is entwined with the society of dark elves. It is said that the Spider Queen can see through the eyes of all spiders and that she is truly all-knowing. The Spider-Queen has a burning hatred for the Elves—she claims they drove her children below the earth. Many icons and idols within dark elf society show the image of the Spider Queen, a darkly alluring woman of dark purple skin and silver hair, her abdomen swelling into the terrifying body of a monstrous spider.

Tenets of Faith

Fear is as strong as steel, while love and respect are soft and useless. Convert or destroy nonbeliever drow. Weed out the weak and the rebellious. Destroy impugners of the faith. Sacrifice males, slaves, and those of other races who ignore the commands of Lolth or her clerics. Raise children to praise and fear Lolth; each family should produce at least one cleric to serve her, questioning Lolth's motives or wisdom is a sin, as is aiding non-drow against the drow, or ignoring Lolth's commands for the sake of a lover. Revere arachnids of all kinds; those who kill or mistreat a spider must die.
