Amongst the Drow, there are some who have rebelled against the harsh authority of Lolth's priesthood; withdrawing to distant strongholds where they strive for mastery of the arcane arts. Many of these Drow loosely venerate Vecna, but the satisfaction of their personal ambitions comes ahead of any adherance to dogma. Some say that Lolth has cursed these "apostates" with insanity. While they are a bit cracked, they are also intelligent and ruthless. Hated and hunted by Lolth's own servants, they have grown wise in the detection and disposal of potential assassins.

The apostate mage described here is likely to be found in the company of Drow warriors and/or ritually summoned servant creatures, as she prefers to face her foes from behind a wall of expendable lackeys.
