Editing Keptolo (section)

==The Church==
Shrines to Keptolo are found throughout the [[Underdark]], particularly in [[drow]] taverns and brothels. Much of his "worship" takes the form of bawdy tales celebrating his sexual prowess and exploits, which are enacted by performers for festivals or private gatherings.

[[Cleric]]s of Keptolo are found as advisors, critics, philosophers and politicians... basically, any role that gives them a chance at power without requiring actual work. They strive to emulate Keptolo's ideals, making them amongst the most handsome and charming of all drow. However, any unwise enough to write them off as mere hedonistic fops is in for a lethal surprise; even male drow have the ability to bite, and so his clerics and worshippers alike often strive to become lethally skilled poisoners, dirksmen and spies. Whilst the clerics of Keptolo are nothing but deferential and attentive to clerics of [[Lolth]] and to House Matrons, they are manipulative and abusive in other relationships, especially those with lower-ranked members of the clergy.

Keptolo's dogma reads thus: ''"Feed the vanity of your mistress, and all her treasures shall be yours. Be careful whom you offend, and keep an expendable companion nearby to hold culpable for your crimes. Gossip can be as deadly as the venom on an [[assassin]]'s blade. Use the poison of words to destroy your rivals, that you may claim for yourself all they once presumed was theirs."''
