The Spider Queen

 is the evil god of deceit, shadows, and spiders.She is known for weaving a complicated web of schemes and treachery through her worshipers, deceiving allies and enemies alike to gain power. Her worship is entwined with the drow society. It is said that the Spider Queen can see through the eyes of all spiders, and that she is truly all-knowing. She holds a searing grudge against the Stormlord, for he impaled her against a cliffside, leaving her drow armies leaderless during the Calamity. The Spider Queen and the Ruiner also share a burning hatred for the Archeart whom she claims drove her children below the earth—and she often manipulates the Ruiner’s followers into attacking her enemies so that the drow may remain safe. The only being the Spider Queen fears is the Chained Oblivion; she dreads its alien mind and is furious over what its madness is doing to her children.

Worship
Many icons and idols within dark elf society show the image of the Spider Queen, a darkly alluring woman of dark purple skin and silver hair, her abdomen swelling into the terrifying body of a monstrous spider.
