Homebrew Black Bandos Arachne Species Details
Arachne are a race that was formed originally from a curse, to two siblings; A male named Waregin, and a female named Tufaya, both humans. The two of them believed that they were the best weavers in the world, and crafted tapestries that would sell for thousands of gold pieces per craft. People could swear that the two had the blood of Lolth herself inside of them, for their skill was unmatched. The two siblings believed that they were greater than Lolth herself, and eventually weaved a tapestry showcasing them destroying the goddess, and put it on display. Lolth was infuriated, and cursed the two siblings: Waregin was transformed into the first of a curse the Drow now face today, a Drider, except for he was not a Drow, but a human. Meanwhile, Tufaya was turned into a 6-armed 5-eyed humanoid, and the two of them fled, terrified at their new appearances. It is unknown how they were able to populate their race, as many races found them terrifying, but now the Arachne serve as a reminder to all that the gods are truly a terrifying force, that should never be challenged.
