The Spider Queen

Alignment: Chaotic Evil • Domains: Trickery, Knowledge
The avatar of deceit, manipulation and spite. 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 and the Havoc share a burning hatred for the Archeart—she claims he drove her children below the earth himself—and she often manipulates the Havoc followers into attacking her enemies so that the drow may remain safe. The only being the Spider Queen fears is the Oblivion; she dreads its alien mind and is furious over what its madness is doing to her children. 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.
Commandments of the Spider Queen
• It is better to be loved than feared, but you may certainly try to be both.
• Misdirection, slander, and shadowed steps have more function than direct conflict.
• Death to the elves who live under the sun. Death to all their allies.
