After some reconstruction, the Web of the Spider Queen opens its doors proper to all visitors who wish to pray to their Dark Mother. Priestesses of Lolth may acquire further access to the temple complex's facilities.

Furthermore, the Augur Court, responsible for granting drow of Sshamath the status of a citizen, also opens its doors to any drow that wishes to pledge allegiance to the great City of Dark Weavings. Your oath shall be judged by a diviner and your information retained.


((OOC: This is an IC rumour to reflect 2 changes: The "Hill" in sshamath that used to be the Web of the Spider Queen is now gone, and there's a proper temple complex there. Clerics and FS of Lolth can get access to other parts of the temple by speaking with an NPC there.

Also, in the northwest part of Sshamath one can access the Augur Court, where an NPC can grant a citizenship token to any drow with enough money to buy it and willing to pledge themselves to the City and the Conclave.))

Explorers Needed!


To those that know their way around the caverns,

Know that the Seats of House Sshamath, along with the School of Enchantment and the 7th Circle Mercantile Guild, offer a bounty for any that bring information about the rumoured path from Sshamathan lands to Skullgorge, as well as information about the creatures that populate the area;

((These maps are still not live! Skull Gorge will be accessible after the next update, but already posting this so people can talk about it and organise excursions if they so wish! Any response to this should be PMd to me.))

Rumblings through the Caverns


The cycle ends with the conclave soldiers tossing dead rats in scattered piles throughout the dark caverns. These small piles of rodents would seem mundane to the untrained eye, until those who wander close enough notice there is something off about these rodents. Their grotesque features lay lifeless missing their eyes and skulls. To those that stop by to ask, they are cleared away and warned to stay away from anything that resembles these vermin. Each of the piles glow on fire through the dark caverns.
