Lloth
Spider Queen
This information was taken from another webpage.
Lloth, the Spider Queen,is cruel and malicious. The only person in her world is herself. She
is constantly plotting to keep her loyal minions in a state of turmoil. This way she can find
the strongest and most cunning of her followers to serve her. Drow, being brought up under
this religion, are all but perfectly suited to this arrangement. With the drow's instinctive
distrust and wit, all but the most wily of opponents will be thrown into disarray. Seeing that
Lloth is the goddess of chaos, this seems all but fitting.
The main object of affection among Lloth worshippers is the spider. It is a offense
punishable by death to kill or even maim a spider. Lloth gives unto her most loyal
henchmen a poisonous spider to aid, guard, but also to watch in their furtherance of the
religion. It has been known that a follower be killed by the so gracious gift from Lloth.
Lloth is most frequently found in the form of giant black widow spider. This form can be
changed to an extremely beautiful drow female. These two forms can also be combined to
produce a giant spider with a lovely female drow head. In any form Lloth is a presence to
be feared. Instead of using her material form Lloth will more likely just show that she is
watching by having a pair of smirking female lips appear on the nearest spider seen. If her
help is needed more directly then she will imbue a follower with great fighting prowess like:
always hitting first, weapons never breaking, and a improvement of armor protection.
These followers are almost always surrounded by flickering black mauve edged radience.
The clergy of Lloth are all women. The preistesses of Lloth are the only subject of Lloth to
hold any real power in drow society. If a preistess of any rank says to do something there
better not be any hesitation. Punishment for disobedience is usually swift and destructive.
Killing is not their style, maiming is more reward for slow wits and procrastination. A
preistesses has the feeling that they are the judge, jury and executioner of the society at
their feet, and the power given to her by Lloth as justification for any action that she may
take. Preistesses sole purpose in life is to weed out the weak and sanctify the strong.
