Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 978343" data-attributes="member: 8461">The events you are recalling are from the Greyhawk novel, Queen of the Demonweb Pits by Paul Kidd, the third book in (what was apparently) a trilogy about those characters.To answer your question, that is completely unrelated to the Silence of Lolth. That novel (as well as both the novels before it) had glaring inconsistencies with canonity all over the place. The novels were (loosely) based off of the old 1E adventures of the same names, and in the one here it was quite possible that Lolth was killed, so Paul Kidd had it happen in his novel. However, that doesn't mean that it happened in canonity.Older D&D veterans may remember that this isn't the first time Lolth has died in a novel - Rose Estes's The Eyes Have It began with the premise that Lolth had just been slain under the same events. Of course, that novel is also non-canon given that it is one of the worst D&D novels ever written (as are all of Rose Estes's books).The question of Lolth being dead came up so frequently due to Paul Kidd's book that WotC, tired of answering that question over and over, put in a deliberate sidebar in the Forgotten Realms supplement Faiths & Pantheons talking about how the same deity on different worlds weren't affected by things that happened to aspects of them on another world - and it used Lolth specifically as an example, saying that if she were slain in her lair she would still be around in FR.</blockquote>
