*Beside this is another notice, stating the requirements for each rank.*
Yath'abban (Temple Agent)
Yath'abban Requirements: (L1+ Cleric of Lloth)
- Capable of casting divine spells granted by the Spider Queen.
- Must be both female and full blooded drow.
- Possess a basic knowledge of Lloth and Her dogma.
- Pledge their life in service to the temple and the Spider Queen.
Yath'abban Responsibilities:
- Show respect to members of all ranks that are above themselves and refer to their superiors by their title.
- Obey all orders given by higher ranking members of the Yath.
- Participate in regular tours through the city to search for law-breakers, unruly or idle jaluken, and for any signs of heresy.
- Assist Yathrinen with rituals such as sacrifices and familiarise themselves with the tenants of Lolth.
- Monitor the health and activity of the temple and city spiders.
- Pursue knowledge and understanding in the teachings of Lloth by attending regularly held lectures in addition to studying on their own.
Yath'abbanen are drow who have at one point in their development begun to serve the Yath instead of pursuing the more mundane vocations. Temple Agents are sent on low-importance missions for Yathrinen or Yath'tallaren in order to test their skills and devotion to Lloth. Especially talented or devout Yath'abbanen can be chosen by a Yathrin to be a personal assistant. Yath'abbanen can expect to run errands, undertake missions, and sometimes fight for the Yath. They should complete these things with vigor and determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yathrin (Priestess)
Yathrin Requirements: (L9+ Cleric of Lloth)
- Must be a female drow Yath'abban capable of casting Raise Dead as a spell.
- Assist a Yathrin in one or more sacrifices.
- Successfully complete at least one of the temple's classes or private tutoring sessions.
- Participate in at least one training session in the Melee-Magthere on basic combat and tactics.
- Demonstrate loyalty and respect to superiors in the Yath as well as devotion to Lloth and a fundamental knowledge of Her dogma.
- Pass a Yathrin test, administered by a Yath'tallar or the Ulath'tallar herself.
Yathrin Responsibilities:
- Show respect to members of all ranks that are above themselves and refer to their superiors by their title.
- Obey the orders of the Ulath'tallar and other Yath'tallaren.
- Participate in regular tours through the city to search for law-breakers, unruly or idle jaluken, and for any signs of heresy.
- Serve the Spider Queen first and foremost. Undertakings performed in Her name take precedence over routine orders.
- Participate in educating the lower ranked members of the Yath. Torture, prayer, and worshipping the Spider Queen are all skills that need to be passed on. It is the Yathrin's job to help ensure that all Yath'abbanen learn these basic skills.
- Regularly develop, prepare, and perform ceremonies honouring Lloth. They must ask for blessings, guidance, as well as spread the faith.
A Yathrin is a priestess of Lloth, committed to upholding the tenants of the faith. Priestesses, through their ceremonies and other activities, assist in teaching the newer members the rules and expectations. Yathrinen must constantly seek to interpret the whims of the Spider Queen and act to fulfill those expectations. Yathrinen are also responsible for maintaining order and adherence to the old ways, being constantly alert to the possibility of corruption by heretics, and advancing the will of Lloth. Yathrinen should make efforts to research and document the Way of Lloth and document several rituals for future reference.
Note: There may only be ten Yathrinen at one time. It is your responsibility to see to the creation of an opening should you wish advancement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yath'tallar (High Priestess)
Yath'tallar Requirements: (L17+ Cleric of Lloth)
- Must be a female drow Yathrin capable of casting Implosion as a spell.
- Perform at least three blood sacrifices, one of which must be supervised by the Ulath'tallar.
- Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of Lloth and Her Will, as well as be able to identify signs of heretic goddesses and gods.
- Continue to demonstrate devotion to the Yath and prove to have received Lloth's favour in some way.
- Show the ability to lead, to find and root out weakness, and to put males in their place.
- Pass an instructional course given by the VDVM on proper interrogation techniques.
- Must succeed in the Yath'tallar trials, given by the Ulath'tallar.
Yath'tallar Responsibilities:
- Assist the Ulath'tallar in running the temple.
- Serve the Spider Queen first and foremost and undertakings in her name take precedence over any other matters.
- Keep a close eye on the Yathen and the training of the Yathrinen.
- Regularly develop, prepare, and perform ceremonies dedicated to Lloth.
- Root out weakness and heresy within the city.
- Destroy those who oppose the Spider Queen and ensure that everyone serves Her Will, in one way or another.
Yath'tallaren are very, very powerful drow. The dictates of Lloth are delivered via proxy through the Yath'tallaren, and these dictates should be enforced to the best of their ability. Their main duty besides instructing the Yathrinen is to ensure that the Will of Lloth is properly discerned and maintained.
Note: There may only be four Yath'tallaren at one time. It is your responsibility to see to the creation of an opening should you wish advancement.

*A copy of the old posting that was left by the previous Ul'ath'allar is still relevant and applies.*
The Eight Tenets of the Valsharess
Pride - What are we if not Proud? A weak willed, broken race hiding in holes?
We are Proud for we are Children of the Valsharess, above all other races. Our Pride allows us to disparage those fools who cling to the surface, our Pride lets us stand and scream our defiance against those who oppose the Valsharess.
Covetousness - What are we if we do not Desire? A race that is underserving of its destiny?
We desire, and what we desire we take: We are strong because we take from the weak, for what right does one have if one cannot defend their claims? We have the right granted us by the Valsharess to take what is ours and slake our greed.
Lust - What are we if we do not Lust? An idle race, to sit and hope? We lust for numerous things: prestige, power, pleasure.
Our lust for Prestige forces us to try and rise high in the eyes of the Valsharess, our Lust for Power keeps our race fit to survive, our Lust for Pleasure encourages us to take what is needed to gain it.
Envy - What are we if we do not Envy? A race of fools that let others have what they will with no competition?
Envy allows us to look at what others have and hate them for it, to desre it for ourselves. Envy drives us to rise above our superiors or through them, to take what we deserve and they do not. It allows us to look at them and see the sum of their possessions, their source of power and want ... and eventually to destroy them and all others that stand in our way for it.
Gluttony - What are we if we do not Hunger? A race without goals, a feeble, disparate peoples wiht no motivation?
Gluttony is for us to chew and eat our fill - this asserts our dominance over the pathetic creatures that must ~farm~ for their food .... they produce, we ~eat~. The position granted us by the Valshress lies above all other mortal races, so why should we disparage Her reward for our service?
Anger - What are we if we do not Anger? A race of calm, emotional talkers, no better than surfacers to sit when those that oppose the Valsharess stand before us?
Anger, for us to deliver the wrath of the Valsharess. An emotion to direct at Her enemies, to feel as we kill in Her name, the backing of Her power that we wield against the Heretics and Traitors that try to lead us from the Path of Lloth.
Accidie - What are we without Sloth? A race that works hard to be exploited for the benefits of others?
We make other work hard so that we may worship the Valsharess, the lesser races standing beneath us so that we can idol Her, and they sacrifice to her through their exhausions, every day forcing the heretics of other races to contribute to her Glory.
Betrayal - What are we if we have not Betrayal? Who deserves loyalty if they cannot see what is going around them?
Why should one who cannot defend herself from her Lessers bath in the glory of the Valsharess? Betrayal is our right to see that our society does not stagnate, to see that the pinnacle of success is maintained by the powerful, to only be replaced when the more powerful arrive. Betrayal is whittling the dead wood, removing those traits of weakness that the sufacers so prize, keeping our race strong and deserving.
Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Anger, Accidie and Betrayal are the tenets of the Valsharess and let none doubt Her or Her divine will.
Lloth tlu malla!

Attention all Yath,
On this cycle, Vierxull’Ala d’Tinnerai has passed her test to become Yath'abben. I expect she will seek one of you soon to learn and to serve and she shall be given every task that will show her the glorious way of the Valsharess. Heretics, beware yourselves, a new enemy has arrived!
Lolth Tlu Malla!

Attention all Yath and Temple Guards
As of this cycle Velthura Ussen d'Vhid has been stripped of all rank. Due to her actions against the city and against the temple, failing her duty of rank and that even below. Bears not a rank among the yath. Her actions violating almost all the queens teachings, and sacred wisdom. Should this be a lessonand warning for any of those who dare define the queen and her wisdom.

Standing outside one of the cells of the Temple of Lolth, there would be a figure seen to be around four foot seven holding a large tower to his side and a katana close at his waist, with his gaze pinned mostly upon the jail cell which he seemed to guard personally. Sarnor'Zortreth, remaining on guard at all times unless told otherwise.
When asked about his business, he'd reply, "Guarding the prisoner. Meepo, his name is."
The Kobold would be seen within the cell, hanging by two pieces of hemp rope and holding absolutely no belongings upon him which seem to be set up neatly in the hallway close to the cell. The creature is currently lifeless but is still fresh, with visible sword wounds about its person.

A black marble statuette of Lolth is carried into the temple by servants wearing the Qos'Yutsu colours. On the pillar below it a prayer, or poem is carved, the letters sparkling with tiny rubies against the dark background:
Love is quicksand 'neath your feet:
It lures you to a fall.
Respect, a weak emotion
Which can hold nau weight at all.
Only fear is strong as tempered steel
And fear sets us apart
We must spread the fear of Lolth
And give it home within our heart.
If we find a heart of any drow
That is of Her fear devoid
Then that heart shall welcome in Her fear
Or it shall be destroyed.
If any think to question Her
Or are weak enough to falter.
We shall pull their hearts without their ribs
And place them on Her altar.
Should any dare to cast a slight
On She whom all yath cherish
Then they shall scream for mercy
As at Her cruel whim they perish.
I swear to Lolth to keep these laws
Of Queen and Ulathtallar
Lest I meet a fate worse yet than these.
Praise be and Lolth Tlu Malla!

*Velve walks back into the temple seeming rather calm after the cycle carrying what appears to be a child wrapped in cloth, she steps in the circled room with the alter placing the covered child onto the alter, after bowing and giving a prayer to the idol of Loth she takes out a dagger and plunges it into the childs chest and leaving it on the alter bleeding with the dagger still stuck in it*
*her office, and her belongings in the temple have been removed and cleaned*
*laughing darkly as she vanishes in a portal, a glimps of a wicked grin can be seen on her face*
"My job is complete, shall the queen see the choas to come... now to sit back and watch the show... may all I set up spring" *laughs and vanishes*

Nizzre had removed the body of the dead child earlier and cleansed the alter in preparation. She knew the alter and room were ready as the thumping of her boots echoed off the walls in The Temple. Once inside she prepared herself and made a fervent prayer to the Queen of the Webs.
Suddenly the cleric of Ghaunadaur that Nizzre had captured earlier came to life as she was placed on the alter and held in place. Nizzre’s adamantine dagger freed the captive of the gag and her screams filled the room. Nizzre’s voice was stronger as she spoke praises to the Valsharess. Nizzre took her time with the sacrifice. Her praises never faltering. Then she knelt and forehead to the cool stone floor in front of the alter, she prayed even more fervently than before. She was rewarded with the cruel, frightening power of the Valsharess.
The body of the sacrifice was given to the pits. The blood remains upon the alter some dripping into the pit.//Thx to Streeaka and Krrja for joining in on this

Nizzre’tyne, a jaluk in plain robes and a Viscount with an unconscious jalil over his shoulder troop through Edonil on their way to the Temple.
Again the alter had been cleaned from the last offering and was silent and cold. The jalil was handed over to the jaluk and the Viscount dismissed. The heretic cleric had come back to herself and kicking at the jaluk begun to scream as she was placed on the alter. Nizzre had a special offering in mind this time and used diamonds she had acquired and blessed to decorate the heretic offering. Fervent prayers of thanks to the Valsharess along with promises to bring heretics and the weak for the Valsharess to enjoy were made. Suddenly the screams silenced and the Queens children fed. Much to the delight of Nizzre’tyne.//Thanks to Maral and the lovely heretic cleric, it’s great to have an actual player as the sacrifice.

Somewhere outside Ultrinnan...
Deep within the caverns where young drow once hunted, and priestesses tested their faith, a silence lingered. Here and there were still the bats and rats of old, scurrying and content in their petulance. One single rat in particular had found a lovely piece of fruit dropped by one of the bats and began to nibble, until a metallic boot did press down upon it, it's dying death shriek bringing the caverns to life once more. Shadows parted way as the sound of metal grated and clicked against the stone floor with each footstep. The clicking stopped as the figure stood before what was left of the old city. Surveying the damage she furrowed her brow in thought, then turned in place and stepped off into the shadows once more, the three-headed snake whip on her waist hissing venom at the ruins as the priestess started her way to the new city.

An old book is found in the Temple library:
A Treatise on Ritual, by Yathrin Di'es Irae Unqua.
It is difficult for many to grasp the idea of a proper prayer to the Dread Queen Lolth. I shall begin by saying: there is no proper way. Her whims are chaotic. However, there is a measure of respect one must demonstrate when praying or making offerings to Her.
Sacrifice:
Many debates have arisen over whether the sacrifice should come at the beginning or end of a prayer. The writer of this treatise prefers the beginning—to those that prefer the ending I ask:
When hungry do you wish to hear your chef drone on and on about their problems while the roast sits in front of them?
The main tool for sacrifice is the eight bladed dagger. The eight bladed dagger should be at your side at all times. This writer would go so far as to say: should it be taken by an enemy you should gain it back at all costs.
The bowl is a secondary tool used for offerings. In day-to-day prayer one should offer blood rubies, incense, and oil. These I have found the best when a live sacrifice is unavailable. Offering them in a burning bowl is this writer's preference. Should you find the bowl empty when you lower it, the offering has worked.
Prayer:
The form of prayer differs from Yath to Yath though one thing remains the same. In the beginning you address the Dread Queen by elongated title.
After her title it then becomes preference. Some enjoy compliments, though the writer of this treatise would say gratitude should come next. Gratitude for being Her most perfect creation, gratitude for the gift of spiders, gratitude that you still breathe. Gratitude is important. She could deny us anything we may take for granted on whim.
Then we come to the main body of the prayer: requests. A request should be brief, and should befit the offering, as well it should be something that benefits the Dread Queen more than yourself. Strength against elves. Swift feet with little exhaustion on journey to a battlefront. Things that aid you while aiding Her more.
End with Triumph. Tell the Queen of Spiders of the triumphs you shall bring Her. Tell Her of the future sacrifices you will bring Her and of the glory you will bring Her in Her name. Then complete it all with the simple phrase that echoes through our souls and heats our blood to boiling:
Lolth tlu Malla!

The recognizable figure of Yathrin Nizzre’tyne glided into the Temple. She was followed by Sutrinos Streeaka’ael carrying a very large bag, a very large Orog and finally an effretti.
They were in the Temple for at least an hour. Then the massive arm and hand of the Orog pushed open the entry door and out glided the Yathrin. A pleased look graced her features for whatever had happened inside the Temple had certainly gone to her satisfaction. Behind her strode Sutrinos Steeaka’ael without the large bag. And finally, the Orog who closed the Temple door, amazingly gently.
“Rest well for we bring another of the Dread Valsharesses enemies as tribute soon.” Yathrin Nizzre’tyne said as they all proceeded down the hill.

Nizzre'tyne glided into the Temple with Surtrinos Streeaka'ael close behind. Again he carried something, only this time it was a rectangle box. Very carefully he set it down and pulled out the painting.
Nizzre'tyne's scarlet eyes scanned the room. "I must find a placement that all whom enter the Temple will see this Tribute to our Valsharess." She taps her finger upon her lips and then frowns. "I think I will have to pray about this. We will have to keep it in my office until I have a sign."
With that she motions Surtrinos Streeaka'ael into her office. Soon after they come out and Nizzre'tyne enters the inner sanctum. Surtrinos Streeaka'ael standing guard at the outer door.
Inside, Nizzre'tyne offers prayers of praise and her own tribute of precious gems, her own blood and incense. Her prayers last most of the cycle.

She was in the Orog caverns when she felt it. Ilharess Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb had learned not to ignore those touches that made the hair on her neck stand up. “Where to now, Ilharess?” her warrior asked after he had slain the last Orog. “The rebel camp. We will find a rebel cleric fit enough for a sacrifice for our Dread Queen of the Webs this cycle. Come.” She was certain they would be successful. Their last trips to the camp produced nothing suitable for Nizzre’tyne only brought the choicest sacrifices to her Dread Queen. After dispatching the driders and rebel assassins, warriors and archers, they entered a rebel building. The room was large and empty until the rebels leapt from the shadows to attack. While her warrior took them to task she looked on until she heard…the words calling for divine power. Her head snapped toward the sound as she began to cast herself. Standing straight and tall Ilharess Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb prayed for her Goddesses power, she felt it pulse and gather to be shaped as she needed. She narrowed her eyes in pride and concentration while she became a vessel for Lolths wicked power. She shaped it into a hammer to stun the foolish cleric whose own spell had no effect upon Nizzre’tyne at all. As Nizzre’tyne finished the shaping and the word, the power left her and flew unerringly to the cleric slamming into her so hard she was instantly stunned. http://daylight3.zoomshare.com/files/Ca ... Nizzre.jpg“Your days of working against the Valsharess are over.” Nizzre’tyne told her coolly. “What is your name?”“Gyzjozatom.” She mumbled in her stupor. It was a triumphant return to Edonil and the Glorious Temple of Lolth where Nizzre’tyne took her time with the sacrifice. Ul’ath’tallar Velthura joined the event after it had stared and her comment after it’s conclusion to Nizzre’tyne was, “Excellent technique.”At the Ul’ath’tallars suggestion, Nizzre’tyne would invite any whom are able to the next sacrifice.

*A note is left for the Ul'ath'tallar in her office at the top of the stairs just over the alter room. The writing is in lovely drow script.*
Malla Ul'ath'tallar,
I report to you after weeks of maintaining my duties in the hallowed halls of our most Dread Queen. The children seem to thrive although the one whom was tending them has not been seen for some time. I will see to it that they are checked and fed until such time as another is appointed.
Looking over the current listing posted on the obelisk I see names of those whom have not been seen in or even near the Temple in many cycles. Should you wish to know whom I have seen or more importantly whom I have not seen I am available at your leisure.
A correction to my name in the posting is needed, it should read Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb (matron).
Lolth tlu Malla,
Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb

*seen only by few, the shadow that once swept the darkness comes relaity once again as she steps with a gracefull powerfull step. Coming from where she vanished she comes with a grin to be seen by all, fangs showing she walks seeing the maham and distruction, removing the Tinnerai crest from her armor she removes her left glove and with a swift slice, her hand poors of blood onto the alter that she left a child of birth for dead. Giving her prayer of return and strength, the once known as Velve leaves the temple with only thoughts of chaos to come once again....*

All the postings on the obleisk in the antechamber of the Temple have been taken down. This includes the current ranking of Yath, the tennants and any other notice that had found it's way there.

*Recently placed upon the inside of the door to the alter room in the Temple, on fine parchment in a lovely, flowing drow script is this notice. Clearly only those whom have entered the Temple to pray or visit the Ul’ath’tallars library would see this posting.*
Sisters,
Unfortunately the former listing of our Temple ranking has been ruined beyond the ability to recover.
I await a note from you so your name will be included in the new listing. Provide your name, your house name and your rank with all due speed. When finished the listing of all the honored servants to our Dread Queen will be posted in the Ul’ath’tallars office.
If more convenient for you, you may leave your information in my office, the one across from the jail cell.
Lolth tlu Malla!
Yathrin Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb

A single folded letter of red paper stamped with the black waxen symbol of the Temple of Ust Natha is left mysteriously and unobtrusively intrusive on the doorstep of the Temple of Edonil.
Yathrin,
I was lead to the City of Ust Natha in a vision by Her, and have returned more spiritually sound and ready to resume my duties. I will be in the city proper later this cycle, if you would care to join me.
By Her Will,
Di'es Irae Unqua

Nizzre’tyne glides through Edonil and gathers to her warriors whom are not on duty guarding the settlement. They troop along with her keeping clear of Nizzre’tynes faithful sirrush who trots beside her snapping at any warrior whom moves too close.
Several hours later they port back into Edonil. Dripping blood and some doing their best not to show their injuries the warriors follow Nizzre’tyne. Two of them carry a struggling drow female. Her curses and screams of damnation slowly causing her voice to become hoarse. “I am Priestess Tefxlizatru faithful of my Lord Ghaunadaur!”
Nizzre’tynes laughter drowns out some of the babble. “Do not lose your voice priestess. I will need it to please our Dread Queen.”
They march to the Temple of Lolth and proceed inside.
If the continued screams then sudden silence is any indication… it appears that Ilharess Nizzre’tyne Jess d’l’Orbb is still residing in Edonil and is still very much a priestess of the Dread Queen.

As of late, Yathrin Nizzre'tyne is seen entering the alter room of the Temple and spending hours at a time inside. While this is not unusual for Nizzre'tyne who takes pride in offering sacrifices and tributes to the Dread Queen...
Perhaps the lack of screaming sacrifices is?

“Come, we search the old caverns for ingredients I need for my experiments.” Ilharess Nizzre’tyne was heard directing her Seeress Elvorfilia Tinnerai and Qu’el’Saurk Streeaka’ael Tinnerai.
“It would be better if we found an elf….” Seeress Elvorfilia Tinnerai commented as a portal was opened and they faded from view in front of the Edonil crystal.
Several hours later the near silence was broken first by the light of an incoming portal and then chaos.
Qu’el’Saurk Streeaka’ael Tinnerai carried a bound and gagged male darthirii over his shoulder. The darthirii was attempting to speak and struggling for all the good it did him in Streeaka’aels firm grip. Elforfilia stepped through her whip out and she gave it a flick. The loud crack of her whip drowned out the darthirii, the boots on the stone cavern floor and rustling of armor for just a moment. Ilharess Nizzre’tyne Tinnerai glided in behind moving toward the lead. She clearly had a swagger in her step as she led them towards the Temple of Lolth.
The door to the Temple was open long enough to show that they went directly into the alter room. Fae’ryl joining them with the Yathrins permission.
Yathrin Ilharess Nizzre’tyne Tinnerai’s hands were still bloody and her eyes sparkling with excitement when she left the Temple in the company of Qu’el’Saurk Streeaka’ael, Seeress Elvorfilia and Fae’ryl. The darthirii still inside having joined the Children for dinner.
//This happened before the recent event with Viz’aun, it just took me a bit to post.

Fae’ryl stood up straight after her respectable bow. Her voice did not shake and her hands did not tremble. Rather her voice was strong and steady. Yathrin Nizzre’tyne watched her carefully. Nizzre’tyne had all but ambushed the jalil at the portal crystal demanding to know what she intended to do considering the command of the voice of the Dread Queen in the Temple. If Fae’ryl was surprised that Nizzre’tyne, who had not been there, knew of the incident she didn’t show it. Instead she already had a plan. Fae’ryl’s thoughts were to provide proof that she was faithful to Lolth. And what’s more Fae’ryl was making a grab for power at the same time. Nizzre’tyne approved. They portaled to the rebel caverns. Nizzre’tyne was a spectator only. Although when Fae’ryl set her sights upon something more valuable to Lolth than driders, Nizzre’tyne practiced with her crossbow. Past the driders and onto the buildings Nizzre’tyne followed Fae’ryl. Fae’ryl was careful and didn’t rush. She was able to approach a group of rebels. There were the cries of anger from the rebels, shouts and curses. Fae’ryl danced, her blade soon too covered in blood to glitter. Fae’ryl jumped over the fallen bodies and moved over towards a priestess whom was attempting to stun Fae’ryl, to no avail. An assassin stepped into her path and she dodged and moved like water as the assassin slashed and stabbed. Yet instead of countering with her blade, Fae’ryl pulled out a scroll and the power of the arcane flew out and the priestess was stunned. As if the assassin was no more that an annoying insect, Fae’ryl dispatched him. She stepped over the body pulling out rope. She pulled the weapon from the priestesses hand and threw down the shield. Then she tied the priestess up before the stun wore off. Nizzre’tyne knew a blessing from her Queen when she saw it. Fae’ryl had been provided an opportunity from the Dread Queen and she had grabbed it with both hands. They ported back to Edonil then proceeded to the Temple. Inside the jail cell, Nizzre’tyne discussed and demonstrated proper captive techniques along with proper questioning. Not only was Fae’ryls prize a priestess, she was of a high rank named Kocukx'lzje. Thus Nizzre’tyne was pleased to perform a sacrifice of Fae’ryls prize to their Dread Queen of the Webs. “I, Yathrin Nizzre’tyne, have been witness to Fae’ryls answer to the command You set forth in Your Temple after the escape of the heretic, Queen of Chaos. Lolth tlu Malla!”//Thanks to Fae'ryl for letting me join in the fun of this in game event

CLEANING THE TEMPLE OF DEBRIS
First Matron Mother Nizzre’tyne Tinnerai moved through Edonil with a purposeful step. She would gain another house member and they would be presented to the Queen like all the others had been. Draada Xa’chena would pledge herself to the Queen and then to First Matron Mother Nizzre’tyne and to House Tinnerai.
Nizzre’tyne entered the Temple with Xa’chena, Seeress Elvorfilia, Priestess Rynae and pursed her lips together in annoyance. Still littering the floor was debris.
She had already planned to have the Temple cleaned up by the Spider Guard. However, the Spider Guard High Priestess Velthura had appointed many months ago were suddenly disbanded. The High Priestess put up a notice that none may enter the Temple save Nizzre'tyne unless they had escort. The High Priestess wanted to re-interview all those whom wished to become Spider Guard. How long would that take? Nizzre’tyne didn’t care. She would not wait another moment to put her Queens Temple back to rights.
She had planned this before her meeting with Xa’chena and so she waited for Streeaka’ael to catch up with them and escorted him into the Temple as well as the others.
After the dedication ceremony of Xa’chena, they all moved into the entry area. Xa’chena used her strength to carry out large pieces of debris. Streeaka’ael with his mastery of stone masonry took his hammer to the larger pieces and expertly broke them into smaller pieces that would fit though the Temple doorway. Nizzre’tyne called forth a servant using her Queens gifts to aid in the efforts. Seeress Elforfilia called forth a servant using the weave. Between all the Tinnerais, it was no long before the large pieces of debris were taken outside and pitched into the chasm near the Temple. The entry area, the offices down stairs and the alter room were cleared.
Streeaka’ael spent the next while repairing the Temple floor and assessing the building for structural integrity while Nizzre'tyne patiently waited for him.

Earlier Nizzre'tyne was seen entering the Temple escorting four other drow and a bodak. Ul'faeruk Krrja would definitely be recognized. The others being a jaluk in heavy armor and two other priestesses wearing black and gold.

Zah'lin'il Quickly moved to the temple grounds, half smiling as she went. The battle was over and her blade rested comfotably on her hip "gloriouse chaos" was all she said as she neared the temple. she stared at it for a long wile before he smile grew again "you!" motioning to the duregar outside of the temple "pick up the pace!, i want this place spottless and fixed! i wont have the queens temple looking like this any longer"
She snapped at the dwarf before entering the temple doors. taking a deep breathe and exhaling slowly. She approached the alter and began her daily prayer.

*Posted inside the Temple of Lolth on the inside of the door to the alter room, so that only those that go into the alter room might see it.*
Priestesses,
Be aware that Velthura is no longer Ul’ath’tallar. I have appointed Honored Priestess Zah’lin’il caretaker of the Temple. This means that the position of Ul’ath’tallar is currently open. This is your opportunity to show your determination, intelligence and supremacy. Only the most excellent will be able to take the position.
Get yourselves into the library and study. I will be testing all priestesses at random and I will not tell you beforehand the subject of the test. I expect you to know the wicked ways of our Queens enemies. I expect you to know our Queens dogma. I expect you to be seen in prayer and paying tribute to our Dread Queen. Remember if it was not witnessed, it did not happen.
Lolth tlu Malla,
Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne Tinnerai

Rynae moved with purpose to the temple. Once inside, she paused as she spotted the sign on the door to the alter room. Slowly she began to smirk.
She entered the alter room, bowing to the alter before she began her daily prayers.

ZAH'LIL'IL'S FIRST SACRIFICE
As the portal light at the Edonil crystal faded the figures of Yathrin Zah’lil’il and Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne were easily recognizable in their black and gold Tinnerai armor. What wasn’t easily recognizable was an oddly misshapen thing with two legs that ambled along after them as they headed to the Temple of Lolth.
The legs were wrapped with bandages and the ambling shuffle of the movement would eventually be recognized as an undead. This creature was likely summoned by one of the honored priestesses of Lolth. However, it might take the casual observer a moment or two to realize that the undead creature wasn’t deformed in the head and torso but in actuality carrying something.
It seemed that the bound hands and feet of a drow flopped upon the undead as it shuffled. And from the back view one would see the long white hair as a female drow head bumped against the undead creatures back in rhythm to its shuffle.
The party proceeded to the Temple of Lolth where the silence was broken with shrill screams. Apparently the female had awoken and realized her fate.
After as long as one would imagine a sacrifice would take Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne emerged form the Temple. Her armor looked the same as when she entered although she did have a splattering of blood across her neck. The splatter indicated it wasn’t her blood.
And a new posting is to be found in the Temple.
This day Yath’rin Zah’lil’il has succeeded in her first sacrifice to our Dread Queen. May she continue to provide our Queen with the blood of our enemies.
Witnessed,
Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne Tinnerai

RYNAE'S FIRST SACRIFICE
Yath’abban Rynae had a firm grasp of a handful of white hair and was on the move before the portal light into Edonil faded. There happened to be a limp female form attached to the hair and she was being dragged along as Yath’abban Rynae walked with purpose in the direction of the Temple of Lolth.
Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne and Yathrin Zah’lil’il appeared through the portal soon after. They followed along after the Yath’abban and her prize. They made comments as they went along the soft murmurs covered by the thumping of the unconscious body.
It seemed the Priestesses of Lolth were determined to rid the surrounding area of the enemies of the Dread Queen. They entered the Temple and someone was going to have to clean the Temple steps for the prize had left evidence of her passing with blood.
It was long after one would think that a sacrifice had taken place that Yath’tallar Nizzre’tyne stepped from the Temple. And the reason was soon made clear as she addressed Ilahress Rynae.
“Yathrin Rynae, I expect that you will be a fine instructor in the art of capture and questioning.” Nizzre’tyne said.
Along with the sacrifice there had been another promotion in the Temple.
// Thanks to Rynae & Zah’lil’il for the wonderful RP. Best rush and grab of a sacrifice ever, lol
