Zinzerena was the other non-evil goddess of the Drow pantheon until she was slain and her portfolio usurped by Lolth. Known as The Hunted and The Princess of the Outcasts, she was the Goddess of Chaos and Assassinations, whose faithful were encouraged to use their skills at murder in order to tear down the tyranny of Lolth's rule.
Dogma
"Raise yourself up by bringing others down. Don't reveal your strength, or your hatred, until your victim is helpless. Don't strike until you have the advantage; the only fair fight is the one you win. Once the trap is sprung, make time to gloat before the kill. The legs of the spider are made to be broken."
