Things are moving sweetly now. Firstly, as I predicted, J has converted to the divine Spider Queen. It was not difficult, her previous encounter with fellow followers ensured that it would not be a difficult job. However I am not such a fool to accept that easy converts are totally loyal. Oh no. She will be watched carefully. The poison that is Vhaerun is not altogether removed. I could see that in her attempts to bring her daughter into line. It was not my place to interfere too much, this was between mother and daughter. Had it been me, the daughter would have paid dearly for her insolence and disobedience. J was much too soft. In the end she let her go with a denouncement ringing in her ears?"I no longer have a daughter!". I have my doubts as to whether J will hold to those words. I also noted that the daughter had taken her fathers name.
Ah little J, so much to learn. This was Vhaerun?s doing, but that is no excuse. Now a defiant and resentful half breed walks this land, ready to plague your life, ready to betray you one day. There is only one way to ensure this would not be so. A product of such a union, whether contrived or accidental, should have been killed as it left your womb. Better still, you should have destroyed it before it was born!
Two renegade Drow I have been watching closely have now joined my cause. I am pleased with this because I had long noted they had the right attitude and their talents will be an asset to me. For different reasons, they both harbour a return home one day, under their present status both know that this would mean certain death. Without the protection of a house, it is impossible for a renegade to return to the Underdark and live. So I offer them a tempting carrot. The deal is, they help me in what I want to achieve and in return for services rendered, they receive the protection of House Hun?ett. They are no longer renegade or outcast. It does not take long for LL and SD to decide. *smiles broadly*
Ah life is good. *chuckles* An initial brief has been sent back to me following the list of Von ?Sah names I had sent to Matron Mother. It would seem the name Von ?Sah is not as obscure as I had first thought. Not a major house by any means, far from it, but it seems an irritant to divine Lloth and another minor house, House Maerret. *sneers* So the twins are not Von ?Sah after all, but Maerret! Interesting. *laughs* Natha orbben cress orn zuch atsar dos!
My mother has within her ranks a high priestess, Angaste Hun?ett, one time Matron Mother of House Maerret. Seems she gave birth to twin daughters who were abducted and taken from her shortly after birth by the father. *shakes head* A foolish mistake for a Matron Mother to make. The father should have been killed as soon as she conceived! She had long thought them dead, Lloth?s punishment for her stupidity. Now clearly back in the divine Spider Queen?s favour, Angaste now knows they are alive.
Angaste and her House were involved in a war, the same war described as the "Lloth War" I have heard mentioned on the surface by Von ?Sah. I now know another reason why my mother wanted me to gather information. She must have mentioned the name to Angaste and this has revived memories. It is natural that she would wish revenge on the house that defeated her. Gi folt natha bryklyth cress! *chuckles humourlessly* In all likelihood mother and daughters would have fought each other without realising it. Oh dear Lloth how cruel you can be sometimes. And Angaste? What services have you provided to Lloth that she now smiles so favourably on you? Clearly it was with her guidance that I chose a Von ?Sah controlled outfit out of the many I could have chosen. Clearly it was with her guidance that inspired me to begin to usurp it. Now Lloth has given you the opportunity to have it all?.revenge, your daughters and the bloodline to rebuild.
