Message: <blockquote data-quote="Endur" data-source="post: 1372051" data-attributes="member: 3346">As Matron Ki'Willis Millithor contemplates Dorina's offer, the memories of Matron Alisannara Morcane surface in her mind.  She remembers Dessa Sik-Morcane.Dessa originally belonged to Qu'ellar Sik.  Sik was a minor house whose Matron dreamed of greatness, particularly after it became known that one of the daughters of the house was destined for greatness.   The Matron overreached herself and her house was destroyed as punishment for her impudence.  All except the child prodigy, Dessa, who was adopted by Qu'ellar Morcane.As Dessa grew older, she became the highest in Lolth's favor of all the high priestesses of House Morcane.  Each year, only one high priestess in the city would get the honor to mate with a Glabrezu.  When Dessa graduated from the school for priestesses of the Spider Queen, Dessa was chosen to receive that honor.  For Dessa to later bear a fiendish child such as Zieggrek was an even greater honor.  Many priestesses that bore Draegloths did not survive childbirth.  Those who did survive childbirth were changed by the experience and rose even higher in Lolth's favor.Indeed, of all the priestesses of House Morcane, Dessa and Tierak were the highest in Lolth's favor.  It was no surprise that the two of them had lived the longest.  Matron Alisannara had believed that Dessa would supplant her natural born children to eventually take control of House Morcane, but now that might no longer be Dessa's destiny.</blockquote>
