Shrine of Lolth
The World of Greyhawk & The World of Greyhawk Wiki
The current year for our World of Greyhawk campaign is set during 579CY.
Inspired By Gary Gygax

The shrine of Lolth is the main public shrine of Lolth found in the Northdark of the city of Orthae Qu'lith. It is overseen by several acolytes from various noble houses.

The shrine is constructed within a large cavern located in Northdark "the northern section of the city" beneath the surface in the Underdark, accessible by the tunnels known locally as the Shadows.

The cavern housing the shrine of Lolth is set behind a wall of rock, with a single entrance marked by fine-quality stonework. The entrance is accessible by a small stone bridge flanked on either side by statues of drow priestesses. The shrine proper is accessible by a descending second, vaulted bridge that is illuminated with neon indigo luminescence.

The shrine is elegantly beautiful in its design. Built atop a rocky outcropping, its circular platform features a spider-web design on the ground that radiates outward from a central throne. Eight leg-like appendages extend from the platform, constructed in a style that is distinctly drow in design.

The shrine of Lolth is presided over by acolytes from various houses, a loyal devotees of Lolth who seek to help the Dark Mother gain more power than she ever previously held.

Two massive drider constructs watch over the shrine as guardians. One of these monstrosities possesses the power to bathe a high priestess in a rejuvenating beam of energy, the other releases a destructive onslaught on any foe that dares breach the shrines hallowed walls.
