Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ridley's Cohort" data-source="post: 2959274" data-attributes="member: 545">The original scanty source material for Drow of G+D+Q series indicates clearly that Drow worship "demonlords".  Lolth weighs in as a peculiar but not notably powerful demonlord, when compared to that what we see in the AD&D Monster Manual.  This idea of Lolth as some particularly significant Drow deity started creeping in in Deities & Demigods.  For me, this sucked a lot of the coolness factor out of Drow.  As I read it, the original concept of Drow was a race that was intrisically unpredictable as they would seethe the inherently chaotic nature of the powers of the Abyss.IMHO Lolth as the canonical Drow deity sealed their fate as annoyingly Chaotic (LAWFUL LAWFUL LAWFUL) Evil.I would advocate rekindling the concept of competing overt and covert demonic sponsors for various Drow factions.</blockquote>
