Zariel was once an angel, but her impetuous nature and love of battle led to her fall. Known as the Spider Queen or the Demon Queen of Spiders, Lolth commands the absolute loyalty of her cultists. She then convinced a group of drow elves to follow her to the Underdark-where they remain her fanatical worshippers to this day.
