Description
The Arachne of The Fold were originally protectors of the forest and have become ensnared by Cronus's reach, forced into servitude under the tyrannical rule of Cronus.
Originally forest nymphs that were protectors of the darkest depths of the forests, they were moulded by the shadows were they roamed, twisting them to become the half spiders they now are. They now roam freely, attacking anyone who crosses their path due to their deep hatred of anyone not born of the forest.
They act under the command of The Cult of Cronus, targeting anyone the Cult deems unworthy of their dark god, however they maintain a close proximity to the forest of their origin.
