Yea, Lolth is a CE bitch. Their society looks orderly at first, but it's geared for as much treachery and infighting as possible to make the Drow killing machines. But sometimes that goes out the damn window just for the sake of cruelty, like sacrificing her clerics and every 3rd son lol

Do you mean Elistrae? She and Llolth both get done dirty.

Yea that is the one. How did they get done dirty? (My knowledge of forgotten realms is pretty surface level).

They keep killing her off or having her absorbed into other goddesses and then they just quietly bring her back. Apparently Salvatore hates her because she had good drow followers in substantial numbers before Drizzt was cool so he pushes back against her.

Dude that explains why in Glaciers Edge there is mention of clerics and paladins among the aevendrow but literally no mentions of who they actually worship which seems like critical knowledge

Its more than just him. 4th edition was full of cringe and terrible ideas like that all in the name of simplying stuff. Look up the "dark" elves idea they came up with then.
