The Drider King, Maiferathavel

Maiferathavel, The Drider King, dark elf god of war. Maiferathavel was a great dark elf fighter/mage who was the dark elf high general in the First Wars. He was also the first arachnomancer. The Drider King served under The Dark Mother faithfully until he failed in the task of killing The Lady of Peace, Verbaelatria, which greatly angered The Dark Mother and she turned him into a drider. He still serves The Dark Mother, only now he does so grudgingly, fearing to anger his mistress again. To this day, his few clerics, almost all of whom are driders, search for a way to return him to his original dark elf form.
