Afther Lolth claimed the Demonwebs for herself, Ghaunadaur claimed the '''Dismal Caverns''' for his own. After the conflict between Lolth and the other drow deities, which saw her as victor (though only for 100 years), Lolth tried to destroy Ghuanadaur too, but she quickly refrained from attacking him, as she saw glimpses of an entity possibly older than Ao, and a danger to herself.

	In the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting, there is actually a 20,000 year gap between Lolth's exile and her followers actually becoming "[[Drow]]". At that time there were only '''Ilythiiri''' (Dark Elves), who were pretty much just another kind of [[Elf]] and it was all good because there was a huge stigma attached to worshipping Lolth and the Dark Seldarine. It is believed the Dark Elves actually started worshipping Ghaunadaur around 12,000 years after the exile, essentially making him the first god of the Drow pantheon, in front of Lolth by a few centuries. However it was the political climate during the succession of conflicts called '''The Crown Wars''' that allowed Lolth to weasel her way back in to mainstream worship and eventually lead to the transformation of the Dark Elves into the Drow properly.

	Ghaunadaur's involvement with the Drow pantheon only extends about as far as this, there is very little evidence of him being particularly active during this time, other than as a patron of the Ilythiiri. Though some say he courted Lolth at some point but was turned down~~. Getting~~ him angry enough to storm off and strike his own followers with madness, practically wiping his own church out and severely diminishing his power. ~~However as~~ an unfathomable ancient evil representing alien-minded Ooze monsters, he probably still regarded this as a win.

	Astute fans of D&D may be aware that there is a similar entity to Ghaunadaur in the form of the [[Demon Prince]] of [[Slime]]s, [[Juiblex]]. D&D has gone back and forth over the editions as to whether they are separate entities or whether Ghaunadaur is just the [[drow]] name for Jubilex.
