Homebrew Arach'niloshi Species Details
Arach'niloshi are a race of former high elven exiles twisted and malformed by dark magic. Once the exiles new home risked destruction, they plead to the gods for salvation -- but what answered was no god. The Spider Queen offered to protect their new home with her ancient dark magic and in return they would have to pledge themselves to her service. Forever twisting them into the monstrous spider-like beings they are today and losing most of what made them high elves.
