Dirthana of the Void's Embrace – Ascended Spider Sorceress

For over a century Dirthana has graciously served her Lady Irinax, the wicked web weaver who lives in the shadows beneath the world. In that time she has converted thousands of her kin to worship him beside her, whether by blade or by tongue. Thousands more she has condemned to death as heretics for their refusal to bow to her will. When Vaezirak emerged in the depths of Lo Fuin’s underground, whispers from the void wreathed her calloused mind. They spoke to her of a prophet in the depths, the messiah to vanquish the unbelievers and bring about the complete domination of Irinax, once and for all. Dirthana thus sought out this messiah, travelling into the depths of the abyss deeper than any of her kin had ever tread, finding the mesmerising form of her Lady’s prophet, once sprawling from the body of a spider, marred by flesh-consuming fungi. Yet fear did not take her, but instead a peculiar sense of serenity, washing over her into a calming slumber. The Eldraeth had taken her, and in her body it spurred a rigorous and agonizing transformation. From her back the legs of Irinax sprouted, as though it were a spider shedding its skin, transforming her into the same abomination as Vaezirak. Yet the transformation ceased soon after, with Dirthana maintaining most of her fairer form, yet now blessed with arachnid limbs that announced her own divinity to any who laid eyes on her. She has since acted as the right hand of Vaezirak, using him to convert non-believers, and setting him on a crusade against the Glanbelite Drow that have stood against Irinax’s servants for too long.
