Children of Arakoth, Lolths first familiar who could cross continents with a leap and the stuff of nightmares across Dirrogain. Upon Arakoth's death at the hands of Corellon their brood skittered across the world hiding within it's many cracks and crevaces. Occasionally unlucky innocents will find themselves within it's lair, and subsequently it's gullet.
