[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6279437, member: 11697"] That particular piece of lore appeared in both setting specific and in generic/core material. The specific legend of Lolth's origin as the goddess Araushnee within the Seldarine (aka the Elven pantheon) originated in FR, but that material was subsequently merged with Greyhawk sourced lore and combined in later sources. 3e overtly treated the FR and Greyhawk lore as pertaining to the same goddess, and for instance 2007's Drow of the Underdark assumes Lolth as originating as a fallen Seldarine goddess who subsequently And you have my permission to not like me more now Hussar, because later in 2007, Lolth's writeup in the top 20 D&D villains article in Dragon magazine's final (print) issue also referenced Lolth in FR and Greyhawk as the same deity with the same origin among the Seldarine, and subsequently gaining enough power in the Abyss to regain her godhood (though not actually being an abyssal lord). I wrote the Lolth entry in that article. :cool: [/QUOTE]
