Araushnee/Lolth
Aurashnee was the first wife of Corellon Larethian. She was made by King Oberon to love Prince Corellon; to be his equal in beauty and Elven grace. She was a gifted artisan, especially of cloth making, weaving, and sewing. She bore three children to Corellon; the twins Vhaerun and Vandria, and a secret third child, Eilistraee. She hates Corellon, because his wanderlust was more powerful than his love for her. She seeks to spite Corellon in any way that she can, and kept Eilistraee’s birth a secret from him for thousands of years. She has set fouls spiders along the path to Arvandor, and steals away any Elven soul that Corellon leaves unguarded. She revels in how Corellon cannot walk the world while he is busy fending away her hungry soul-spiders. Whenever Lolth manages to steal away an Elven soul, she sets it in to the body of one of her Drow.
Lloth has sworn vengeance against Corellon Larethian and his people. Lloth's re-ascension to true godhood has basically secured her place in the Evil domain, but strangely she does not have dominion over vengeance. Lloth opposes at every opportunity the deities of the surface Elves, and loathes Corellon with an unparalleled passion. Lloth teaches her children that fear is strength, while love and respect are weakness. She demands that those Drow who will not worship her must be converted or slain. She seeks to kill the weak and reward the strong. Disobedient males and non-Drow must be sacrificed to Lloth. Spiders are a holy animal in Lloth's faith, and killing a spider is a cardinal sin. Lloth is so chaotic, however, that her commands are ever-changing and often contradictory, so that those who seek to follow them blindly may meet with destruction.
