Notes:
“You’re just trying not to drown.”
Lolth’s worship is not always a choice — it is often inherited, enforced, or the only way to avoid being devoured by her faithful. She creates systems where betrayal is the only currency, trust is weakness, and cruelty is rewarded not because it’s effective, but because it breaks bonds.
Where Asmodeus seduces with order and control, Lolth controls by stripping those illusions away.
There is no future but the web. No escape but death. No love, only leverage.
She doesn't need your loyalty — just your fear.

(The Spider Queen does not ensnare by force, but through temptation, fear, and survival instinct. Her lies are not whispered into ears — they grow inside the hearts of those who follow her. Under her gaze, cruelty becomes necessity, betrayal becomes foresight, and ambition becomes armor. You justify, rationalize, adapt — and in doing so, you entangle yourself deeper in her web. She does not demand loyalty; she demands that you make yourself into someone who cannot afford to leave. The final lie is not that you serve her — it's that you believe you chose to.)

Asmodeus lies to you. He weaponizes logic, legality, and persuasion to make you believe you’re in control. You sign the contract thinking you’re clever. His victory is that you thought it was your idea.
Shar lies about the world. She cloaks meaning in shadow. Her lies distort reality and memory, until you don’t know what’s real — only what feels comforting in the void. Her truth is that there is no truth.
