- A demon queen aligned with insects corrupts an abeil hive-city. The abeil queens begin interbreeding with demons and drow.
- The party needs to negotiate with some neutral abeils for spider-eater mounts, food, and supplies for a long journey through the mountains past their city-hive. The abeils insist that the PCs prove themselves by helping them complete a magical ritual, surviving a taste of the royal jelly, combat with their greatest soldiers, or helping them drive off a group of duergar competing with them in their mines.
