Description
Aradra Matka of the Golgari was once a powerful drow sorceress and high priestess of Lolth. Blessed by the spider goddess, Aradra was turned turned in to a drider. Years later Aradra was chosen by Lolth to travel to the plane of Ravnica, to spread her name in a attempt to gain more worshipers and thus power.
The Golgari swarm and its undercity is a perfect environment for the worship of Lolth to prosper, and for driders to thrive. Lolth sent Aradra here because of this, and told her to invade the swarm, spread her worship, and to learn necromancy in doing this.
Aradra claimed her own territory in Ravnica's undercity called The Spider Tunnels, a rot farm in a intersection of many sewer tunnels covered in web made from her and the spiders she has called to her. Aradra did what her goddess asked of her joining the Golgari learning there ways and spreading her name and worship. Aradra assassinated the Kraul death priest Mazirek the Golgari Matka, claiming the power and title herself. Deep in her rot farm she creates abominations of dead giant spiders and the tops of Erstwhile, creating her own undead mockery of the drider, Erstwhile abominations.
Aradra Matka of the Golgari is a huge drider with poison dripping from her claws. She has absorbed the ways of the Golgari and has grown fungus's on her abdomen webs covering her torso and donning insect carapaces.

Here she creates her Erstwhile abominations, with the top halves of the Erstwhile the previous Mataka had awakened, and the bodies of large spiders, weaving them in to unlife with her necromancy. Aradra awaits the all who wish to hear the words of her goddess. Her webs stretch beyond the Tunnels of the Golgari sewers and swamps of the undercity .
Path to through the Undercity. As of late rumors are being told of a spider queen in the undercity. Many whisper that she ate the last Matka, and absorbed his power. The swarm has accepted her and given her reverence. Many come to hear her words in her rot farm.
