The Web of Terror

Overview

The Web of Terror, often referred to as The Spider Queen, stands as the Divine Glyph  embodying the essence of fear. It is believed to draw sustenance from the fears of the living, empowering those who are feared while ensnaring others in its shadowy web of dread.

Domains

The Web of Terror reigns over the emotion of fear in all its manifestations, from the primal terror of the unknown to the more subtle anxieties of failure and rejection. Its influence extends deep into the psyche of mortals, entwining their thoughts with threads of dread. Symbolically linked to spiders, it employs these arachnids and their webs as potent imagery, weaving fear into the very fabric of existence. Notably, the Web of Terror exhibits a vulnerability to the radiant light of the The Sun Flame, which has historically illuminated and dispelled the darkness of its terrors.

Incarnations

Manifesting its ominous presence through physical objects, the Web of Terror is embodied in the Four Fangs, a set of daggers infused with its malevolent power.

Worship

Although worship of the Web of Terror is rare in most regions, it finds devout adherents among the Drow  of the Zalukan Dynasty, where its influence is pervasive and worship is commonplace. Occasionally, small cults devoted to the Spider Queen emerge, appearing suddenly to perpetrate acts of terror and violence before vanishing into the darkness once more, leaving behind a wake of fear and devastation.
