Religions[edit | edit source]
The cult of Lolth[edit | edit source]
The much-reviled matriarch of the drow pantheon, Lolth holds sway over spiders, the Underdark, and the wicked creatures of the Demonweb Pits. Her primary goal is to corrupt all drow, transforming them into heartless cultists.
The clergy of Eilistraee[edit | edit source]
Eilistraee is the goddess of good-aligned drow, beauty, song, and freedom. The Dark Maiden desires balance between all races, and struggles against her mother Lolth's corrupt aims.

Notes[edit | edit source]
Although the Seldarine and Lolth-sworn subraces can broadly be generalised as good & evil drow respectively, there are notable exceptions found throughout the game:
- Jhaam, a dead Harper scout found in a cage at the Grymforge docks, was of the Lolth-sworn subrace.
- Various drow of both Lolth-sworn and Seldarine descent can be found among the Absolutists at Moonrise Towers.
