Lolth
, The Spider Queen
Lolth, known as the Spider Queen, is the most favoured deity of the drow elves. Following the creation of the drow, she betrayed the remainder of the deities, and was banished to The Abyss, with both the Demons and the seven princes of Hell to chain her and restrain her from returning to any upper plane, or the Material Plane. Her worshippers continue to seek her release, and the ultimate goal of the Priestesses of the Lolthite Church is to either personally release her, or witness her release.
Her children Vhaeraun and Eilistraee were both beholden to her and sought her release, before Eilistraee was turned to the side of good following a failed assassination attempt on Corellon, her father. On the other hand, her son Vhaeraun roved the Lower Planes in search of the entrance to her prison, in the hopes of releasing her and gaining revenge by her side.
Due to her creation of the drow, they considered her their Patron Deity, and as such, her imprisonment was considered an affront to their existence, and fueled their feeling of separation from the world above.
