Their wings, smaller yet robust, enable them to traverse their complex web structures and partake in short flights. Their bodies are agile, built for precise movement and efficient web-building. Their thoracic stinger, a miniature version of the Queen's, delivers venom potent enough to immobilize or kill their prey.
The workers' facial features include a pair of relatively smaller but efficient mandibles and eight eyes that shine with an instinct-driven intelligence. Their existence revolves around serving their hive – building, repairing, hunting, and defending. While they may not possess the queen's grandeur, their tireless dedication is the very lifeblood of the Thornsilk hive.

Modern-day Uses

In the present day, the Ebon Winged Thornsilk continues to serve as a reminder of Slavyna's power. The Dark Legion, Slavyna's primary military force, uses the image of the Thornsilk as an emblem, striking fear and respect into the hearts of friends and foes alike. The spiders themselves, while being lethal creatures in their own right, are often used as sentries in Slavyna's palace and as guardians of important locations.
During the "Night of the Ebon Wings", a key cultural event in Synthelavor, people release bioluminescent insects to create a spectacle of glowing lights caught by the spiders. This grand display, orchestrated by the Thornsilk spiders, serves as a visual reaffirmation of Slavyna's reign.

Konran Immigration

Within the pulsing heart of Konran, whispers have begun to circulate about the sudden and unexpected appearance of Thornsilk colonies. These secretive and lethal creatures, the emblem of Slavyna's power, have seemingly integrated into the capital's intricate network of urban biodiversity, establishing hives within the labyrinthine structures of the city. This clandestine invasion has caused a mixture of apprehension and fascination among the citizens, with few knowing whether the Thornsilks' migration to the capital was a natural occurrence or a deliberate act orchestrated by Slavyna herself. Nevertheless, it's hard to imagine the sovereign displeased by her deadly roses taking root in new soil, spreading her influence in such an insidious and fitting manner.

"We traversed the dense forests of Konran today, drawn by the whispering allure of untouched flora and the chance to document uncharted wildlife. Our journey led us to a breathtaking grove of ebony roses, an astounding sight in itself. Yet it was what we found within these obsidian blooms that truly captured our fascination. Their petals rustled lightly, betraying the presence of life within. It was a Thornsilk hive, the first recorded on Konran. Never before had we seen such a sight: hundreds of spiders, each a stunning amalgamation of the deepest reds and purples, their wings fluttering lightly, their eyes gleaming like tiny embers in the dark. It was beautiful and foreboding all at once.

They had weaved a network of traps, their intricately spun webs stretched between the rose bushes, a masterpiece of natural architecture. It was a complex structure, filled with tunnels and pockets that were delicately woven with a skill that put the finest craftsmen to shame.

Upon a closer look, we saw the queen, resplendent and commanding. Her thoracic stinger gleamed in the dappled sunlight, and her wings, large and robust, shimmered with an iridescence that was hypnotizing.

Our presence, however, was not unnoticed. The hive's mood shifted - their previously rhythmic rustling turned into a cacophony of agitated whispers. We took it as a sign and maintained our distance, for these beautiful creatures are also among the deadliest. It's an image I'll remember all my life - the Ebon Winged Thornsilk, a marvel of nature, a testament to the potent genetic artistry that lies in the heart of Slavynian knowledge. The beauty of their deadly grace is a sight to behold, but it's one that must be admired from a distance, a lesson we must never forget."

Genetics and Reproduction

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk's reproductive process aligns with most spider species. It involves the male depositing sperm into the female's epigyne, a special structure on the lower side of her abdomen. The female then fertilizes her eggs using the stored sperm, often laying hundreds of eggs that she encloses within a silk egg sac. These sacs are strategically hidden within the rose bushes, protected by the mother's watchful eyes and the thorny defenses of the roses themselves.

Growth Rate & Stages

From the egg, the Ebon Winged Thornsilk undergoes several moults, growing progressively larger with each stage. The spiders reach their full size after approximately one year, showcasing their beautiful, winged adult forms.

Ecology and Habitats

The Thornsilk thrives in the toxic, hot atmosphere of Synthelavor. Their rose-like coloring and thorned bodies provide them the perfect camouflage in Slavyna's rose gardens, and their ability to endure extreme heat sets them apart from most spider species.

Dietary Needs and Habits

The Thornsilk's diet consists mainly of the small creatures that dwell within Slavyna's rose gardens. They utilize their combined abilities of various species to hunt – they burrow and set traps like trapdoor spiders, throw and catch prey with their webs, and even hunt underwater thanks to their Diving Bell Spider ancestry.

Biological Cycle

Adapted to Synthelavor's environment, the Ebon Winged Thornsilk doesn't undergo a specific biological cycle like hibernation or shedding. They remain active throughout the Synthelavor year, a testament to their genetic resilience.

Behaviour

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk is both a solitary and territorial creature. Females, in particular, are extremely protective of their nests and young. While not aggressive without provocation, they can display a startling ferocity when defending their territory or offspring.

Additional Information

Social Structure

In the wild, Ebon Winged Thornsilk spiders are typically organized into matriarchal societies. The hive is led by a single queen who is the primary egg-layer. The queen is typically the oldest and largest spider in the hive. She is responsible for directing the construction of the hive, laying eggs, and communicating with the other members through a complex series of vibrational cues transmitted through the hive's web. The queen is surrounded by a retinue of worker spiders who forage, maintain the hive, and care for the eggs and hatchlings. The remaining males in the hive, smaller and less numerous, are primarily responsible for mating with the queen.

Domestication

In a domestic setting, the social structure of the Ebon Winged Thornsilk is slightly different. While the queen remains the central figure of the hive, caretaker intervention typically assumes the role of the worker spiders. The owners of the Thornsilk often tend to the hive's needs, such as providing food and maintaining the habitat, therefore the worker spiders mostly tend to the queen, her eggs and the hatchlings. Moreover, in domesticated hives, owners often carefully control the number of males present to manage the hive’s reproduction rate. The careful management by owners allows a more harmonious coexistence between the spiders and their human companions.
Notably, domesticated Thornsilk queens, particularly older ones, are known to develop complex relationships with their caretakers. These relationships can extend to the point where the spider queen may even recognize and respond to specific caretakers, demonstrating a degree of social intelligence that further emphasizes the Thornsilk's unique nature among arachnid species.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk spider holds an unusual and dualistic position in Synthelavor's society. On the one hand, they are treasured as precious companions and status symbols, particularly among the elites, while on the other hand, they face certain exploitation due to their unique abilities and byproducts.

Uses

The Thornsilk spiders are often employed for their strategic skills, particularly their ability to construct intricate traps and their adeptness at camouflage. These traits make them invaluable assets in surveillance and defense of key areas. Their versatility in different environments, from underwater to airborne operations, offers a unique advantage. As spies and assassins, they can infiltrate enemy lines with an uncanny efficiency that has been leveraged during conflicts.
Their exceptional intelligence, specifically their capacity to mimic simple speech and learn communication with druids and close associates, also makes them valuable companions.

This silk is a treasured material, highly prized in the creation of high-quality textiles and armors. In the fashion industry, garments made from Thornsilk spider silk are highly prized, seen as a sign of wealth and status.
The venom of the Thornsilk, especially potent due to its cocktail of deadly venoms from its parent species, is also of interest. This venom is extracted in small amounts and has applications in both medicine and weaponry. Although its extraction is heavily regulated due to the danger it presents, there are still illegal markets that seek to profit from it.

Exploitation

Unfortunately, the unique qualities of the Thornsilk have led to instances of over-exploitation. Unscrupulous individuals and organizations often seek to profit from the spiders by breeding them in substandard conditions, leading to significant welfare issues. Over-harvesting of the silk and venom from these spiders often results in their premature death or severe health complications.
There is also a black market for the spiders themselves, especially for those with rare or desirable traits. Despite rigorous regulations, illegal trade of Ebon Winged Thornsilk spiders persists, causing a strain on their wild populations.
Efforts are being made to combat these issues and protect the Ebon Winged Thornsilk spiders, such as the establishment of breeding programs, strict monitoring of silk and venom harvesting, and the enforcement of laws against illegal trade. Nonetheless, the struggle between exploitation and conservation continues to be a challenging concern for this unique species.

Facial characteristics

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk has a multitude of eyes, eight in total, allowing it a near 360-degree field of vision. These eyes are arranged symmetrically and shimmer in varying shades of crimson and ebon, reflecting their namesake. Two large, central eyes are used for detail perception, while the smaller peripheral eyes detect movement and light changes.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk can be found across the plane of Synthelavor, and on Slavyna's personal capital world, Syndavaria. Owing to their adaptable nature, they can be seen in various habitats, from the heated realms near Ousava’s elemental plane of fire to the aquatic environments of Hemalod. They are especially prevalent in rose gardens, a frequent landscape feature across Slavyna's realms.

Average Intelligence

Another fascinating trait of the Ebon Winged Thornsilk is its high intelligence. They exhibit strategic behaviors in both hunting and nesting, such as setting complex traps and constructing well-hidden burrows. Their capability to learn and adapt, combined with their advanced communication abilities, enables them to execute missions and tasks assigned by Slavyna with a precision rarely seen in non-sentient creatures.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The spiders possess highly developed sensory capabilities, with acute vision that allows them to spot minute movements and changes in light. They also have vibration-sensitive hairs on their legs that can detect even the faintest tremor, aiding in their trap-building.

Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms

The Ebon Winged Thornsilk has a unique symbiotic relationship with the roses it inhabits. This relationship has evolved from Slavyna's genetic manipulations, intertwining the lives of the spider and the rose. The roses offer the spiders shelter and camouflage, while the spiders protect the roses from pests that could potentially harm them. Moreover, a lesser-known symbiotic relationship exists with a species of small nocturnal birds found in Synthelavor, known as the "Ebon Nightflyers". These birds feed on the small pests that the spiders don't catch, keeping the surrounding area clear of potential threats. In return, the Ebon Winged Thornsilk allow the birds to pick and feed on small parasites that occasionally latch onto the spiders.
Parasitic Species
The Ebon Winged Thornsilk's most notable parasitic adversary is a species of mites known as "Silver Widowers". These mites are attracted to the Thornsilk's warmth and the remnants of its kills. The mites, while not directly harmful to the spiders, can multiply quickly and become a nuisance, covering the spider's body and nest, and interfering with their daily activities. The Ebon Winged Thornsilk has developed grooming behaviors to mitigate the presence of these mites, often seen meticulously cleaning their legs and body surfaces with their pedipalps.
