Lolth
Quietly she crept. Her upper body that of a beautiful drow, her lower that of a silky spider. She crept out of the darkness and all of the Underdark held their breath. She gave a smile at the sight of them and crawled up to the highest point in the city and called out down to them "Kneel before me. Kneel before the queen of darkness, the queen of spiders, the queen of drow. Kneel before Lolth."- The Message Written in the Webs, Chapter One Section 10. Titled "Beginnings"
Summary
Commonly known as the Queen of spiders Lolth is a evil god who values the traits of jealousy, cunning, treachery and above all else a cold desire for vengeance. Lolth favors her Drow children, but will often influence their politics with no concern for who she crushes. Lolth is fickle, holding favorites for long stretches of time before betraying them to a more interesting follower. She, however, expects perfect loyalty and will crush any drow who dares not bow the knee.Followship
An Arcane god, Lolth receives only a minor following in comparison to the other 12 gods of the syndicate. This is in part due to her lack of interest in any follower not of the Drow. That is not to say other races do not follower her however. Many of the under dark races such as the Duergar, Svirfneblin, and Kuo-toa also bend the knee. In addition, Lolth is a popular god to those that fall in darker professions. She is the patron god to many thieves, assassins, smugglers, and other unsavory sort.History
Lolth is a newer god. Long ago when the chaos spread across Havenmere near one third of the elves where infected with the darkness. These elves abandoned their brethren and fled from the sun. They journeyed underground and soon became the Drow civilizations we know today. As the Drow advanced they longed for a god to call their own and rejected all others. Lolth was born out of their prayers. Created by the desire for bloody retribution against the surface folk and self hatred for what the Drow where she was molded in to existence out of the filth. She quickly made her presence known and the Drow have worshipped her since.Divine Domains

Tenets of Faith
The children of Lolth must consider these principles always.
- Never let a misdeed go forgotten or unpaid. Always remember who wronged you.
- A fair fight sickens Lolth. It is better to never be seen, never be heard, and always be felt.
- If a Drow would turn her back on Lolth than she wishes to be an elf. If this is the case lay her before the sun and let her burn.
- Unless you can take her throne always honor your Matron. She will guide you and together power can be seized. If you can overthrow your Matron do so. Punish her for her weakness.
- Drow society must always maintain its system of class. Rankings are as follows: Female Drow Nobles, Female Drow, Female Drow children, Male Drow Nobles, Male Drow, other darklings. Male Drow are powerful tools and can be useful but they must never presume authority over a female Drow.
