LLOTH

Lloth is also known as The Spider Queen, Queen of Spiders, Demon Queen of Spiders, Demon Queen of the Abyss, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Weaver of Chaos, the Hunted, the Mother of Lusts, Dark Mother of all Drow and Lady of Spiders.

Lloth is a cruel and merciless goddess. She is believed by many to be quite insane, though she has many worshippers. She delights in turning them against eachother so that only the strongest, most devious, and only the deadly of her followers will survive. To many drow, Lloth is the entire meaning of their lives, especally for females. Therefore many males have taken up the following of some of the other gods.

Fear is as strong as steal, while love and respect are soft, useless feelings that none can lean on. All drow who do not worship Lloth must be converted or destroyed. All weak and rebellious drow must be weeded out. All who impugn the faith must perish. Males or slaves of other races who act independently of Lloths dictates (and those of her priests) must be sacrificed to Lloth. Those of the faithful whose loyalty is weak must be eliminated. Children are to be raised as loyal worshipers of Lloth, and each family must produce at least one priest to serve the spider queen better than her/his parents. Arachnids of all sorts are to be revered, and anyone who mistreats or kills a spider must die.

Her allies are Loviatar and Malar. Her foes are Corellon Larethian and Gruumsh.
