DROW ARACHNOMANCER

Drow spellcas ters who seek to devote themselves wholly

to the S pide r Queen sometimes wa lk the dark path of

the arachnomancer. By offering up body and soul to

Lolth, they gain tre me ndous power a nd a supernatural

connection to the ancient spiders of the Demonwe b Pits,

cha nneling magic from that dread place.

DROW FAVORED CONSORT

Nearly all priestesses of Lolth, including the powerful

matron mothers, take attractive drow as their consorts.

Often these individuals s erve n o purpose beyond plea-

sure, breeding, or both, but sometimes consorts can

gain the ear of their priestess and be relied on to provide

useful advice. No position of consort is assured for long;

priestesses are infamous for being fickle with their

favor, which are they are especially glad to lavis h on a

consort who combine s beauty with magica l might.
