Temple of the Spider

The Temple of the Spider was a temple of Loth found in the Northdark of the Underdark.

Location
It temple was situated within a large cavern located beneath Rothé Valley on the Sword Coast North, accessible by the caverns known as the Shallows.

Structure
The cavern housing Temple of the Spider was set behind a wall of rock, with an entrance of finely-carved stone. Leading up to this opening was a small stone bridge flanked on either side by statues of drow priestesses.

The temple proper was accessible by a descending second, vaulted bridge that was illuminated with neon indigo luminescence.

Interior
The temple was simple but elegantly beautiful in its design. Built atop rocky outcropping, its circular platform featured a spider-web design on the ground that radiated outward from a central throne. Eight leg-like appendages extended from the platform, constructed in a style that was distinctly drow in design.

Activities
The Temple of the Spider was presided over by High Priestess Syndryth, a loyal devotee of Lolth that sought to help the Dark Mother gain much greater power than she ever previously held.

Defenses
Two massive driders constructs watched over High Priestess Syndryth as her guardians.

History
In the late 15 century DR, Syndryth and her Deathweavers began to perform a ritual involving the village of Rothé Valley on the surface world.
