D ROW ARACHNO MANCER
Drow spellcasters who seek to devote themselves wholly
to the Spider Queen sometimes walk the dark path of
the arachnomancer. By offering up body and soul to
Lolth, they gain tremendous power and a supernatural
connection to the ancient spiders of the Demonweb Pits,
channeling magic from that dread place.
DROW FAVORED CONSORT
Nearly all priestess es of Lolth, including the powerful
matron mothers, take attractive drow as their consorts.
Often these individuals serve no 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 lavish on a
consort who combines beauty with magical might.
