The Spider Goddess is a God of Hollow

History

The Spider Goddess is one of the Elder Gods and is exceedingly evil. The ominous Goddess favors Drow females above all others, generally granting favor only to the most cruel and devout among them. No one knows from where she originated, as she existed well before the Drow ever found their way into the depths of the Underdark. The capricious Goddess enjoys the suffering of mortals in a way no other god does, especially that suffering brought about by the twisted planning of other mortals. Lacking the ability to both give and take away life, she views males as an inferior form of mortal creatures. It is believed that the very creation of spiders on the mortal realm is due to her own hand, the ultimate reflection of the Goddess herself, a hunter who lays elaborate webs and waits for prey to wander in to be killed at the predator's leisure, lacking all semblance of compassion or remorse.

The Spider Goddess currently resides within a subterranean labyrinth below the city of Celestia upon the Plane of the Higher Gods.
