Sadly diminished, Lolth—Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Lady of the Drow, and Mistress of Spiders—walked into the control room of her palace. Two succubi worked the controls. Each one seethed in annoyance at having to work. Lolth was greeted by her pack of pet spiders, scorpions, and miscellaneous arachnids, the creatures stretching up to their mistress for a pat. Mistress of all that she surveyed, Lolth allowed slaves to bring her a throne, and she lazily sat down.

“Morag?”

The secretary trailed behind the rest of Lolth’s entourage. Seeing the drab, skinny creature enter, Lolth held a cup out and demanded tea.

“Morag, what was all that commotion behind us just now?”

Somewhere in her treasures, Lolth had written down Morag’s true name. An order prefaced with that name would have to be obeyed—even an order to suicide. Morag poured the tea oh-so-nicely, then found an adamantite sugar spoon.

“Nothing, Magnificence. A brawl in the town ruins.”

“Something attacked my guards?”

“No, Magnificence. It was lower creatures having a difference of opinion.”

Lolth detected no untruths. She pinned Morag with a careful eye then lounged back in her throne, planted her feet on the back of a squatting slave, and drank her tea. She snapped her fingers at the succubi guiding her palace along the paths of the Abyss.

“Full speed for the Demonweb Pits.” Lolth sipped her tea, found it insipid, and handed it back. “Morag, you bore me.”

The secretary folded up her hands. “Yes, Magnificence. I will try to be more entertaining in the future.”
