			5th edition brought the two gods into the same version of the Dark Seldarine for the first time, with the release of Volo's Guide. Here, it was stated that Keptolo alone is Lolth's consort, and thus shares her bedchamber, whilst Selvetarm is her champion, and she keeps him around only to fight her enemies.
