Nashandra Davilok Knell

When her sister was desperate for an escape, Nashandra did all in her power to get her to the mortal plane, Once she was free, Nashandra was taken before the Drow Goddess in chains, receiving the punishment all Drow fear, Exiled from their cities and transformed into what most know as a Drider.

She was always a bit of a loony lady, She would keept to herself and pour her time into studying twisted forbidden magic. Aside from learning how to walk again and the size growth not much of Nashandra’s personal life was changed from Exile, perhaps why she was so willing to go against the Spider Queen’s wishes.

A near obsession with beauty and power are her driving forces, Like a cackling old witch from your fairytale stories. Through her exile nobody saw what she was becoming, the forbidden magic that drenched in temptation altered her being even further, No longer a simple Drider now a true monster.

Her obsession with beauty has lead to her activity hunting and devouring those who deem themselves more beautiful than the others. Their essence and bodies adding to Nashandra’s own.

As the years went on her natural infuelnce began to spread. Stories of a hideous & beautiful monster that lived in a large building out of sight, off the beaten path. It attracted other Drow that had either defected or been expunged from the Spider Queen’s blessings. Looking for a new leader however Nashandra was anything but.
Though she offered little in terms of actual leadership she did offer favours and magical cures with her Hag magic.

She has spent much of her independent life forming her own loyal tribe of Drow but she can't help but wonder what more could life offer?
Due to the Underdark's savage nature the day to day life grows stale. Its hard to develop culture and community when all your people know is conflict and survival. Davilok hopes to expand on what little ideas of Culture the Drow have.

Davilok is a very odd woman, Being respected and looked up to by common Drow or attacked by the other native fauna in the Underdark has left her social skills somewhat lacking.

Daughter to the Undead Patron Vaalthoa, Demi-Goddess Drider trying the come to terms with the hand she has been dealt. Carving a place out for herself in the Underdark as a leader of Drow. Perhaps has a tie to Arno in some way. Looking to further her influence in the Underdark, commences raids of the surface, Maybe a tie with Caelynn and Varis? as i belive their origin was a Drow raid?

Brief on Drow & Drider

The most common intelligent species you will find among the Underdark are known as Drow, A species of Elven decent but share the similar chararistics of a dark blue complexion and white hair. It at least makes them easy to identify.
The Drider are Drow who have been transformed via an agonising process normally passed down by the Drow's Queen Goddess.
Centaur-like creatures with the bodies of giant spiders or similar arachnid from the waist down, Matching the image of the Drow's Goddess.
This is normally seen as a punishment delivered by the Spider queen. Given to those Drow that have shamed the queen beyond redemption or committed some form of great sin. Isolated and exiled.
Male Drider are mostly left to their isolated life forever more, To wander the Underdark shunned by other Drow. You will often find them just outside Drow encampments in an effort not to be completely alone, Some are even used as makeshift slaves.
Female Drider more often are treated differently. Lady Drider normally grow their own cult-like followings weather by choice or not. Other Drow who may not agree with the Spider Queen's teachings looking for a new leader or belive that the transformation is a form of blessing, Seeing the new female Drider as a sort of prophet from the Spider Queen.
