	The Spider Queen is one of four deities - alongside [[The Morninglord]], [[The Lawgiver]] and [[The Ancestral Choir]] - to actually be a "abstractified" version of a deity from the [[Forgotten Realms]], created when [[White Wolf]] had the rights to update Ravenloft to 3rd edition, but was worried about the legality of referring to Faerunian deities. The Spider Queen is based on [[Lolth]], and thus her worship transforms Arak faithful into [[drow]]-like beings called Zelldrow.

==Cult Details==
Priests of the Spider Queen answer only to the High Priestess, who reigns only so long as she can avoid being assassinated by another priest of the Spider Queen. All other priests are equal in her eyes beyond that. A [[Cleric]] of the Spider Queen prays for her spells at midnight. They often multiclass as [[rogue]]s and are most likely to take levels in the [[assassin]] and Court Poisoner prestige classes. The cult has only the one major festival; the Night of Obeisance, which requires that her faithful spend the entirety of midwinter's night praying to the Spider Queen.
