Editing Drow (section)

====Conception and creation====
Lolth was created by [[Gary Gygax]] for the ''[[Greyhawk|World of Greyhawk]]'' [[campaign setting]], later appeared in the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' setting, and in the 3rd edition became a member of the [[list of Dungeons & Dragons deities|default pantheon]] of ''D&D'' gods. In those various settings, the drow pantheon of gods consists of the leader Lolth, as well as Kiaransalee, Vhaeraun, and Zinzerena and also the one good goddess Eilistraee. Other drow gods may be present in different campaign settings.

According to the [[Forgotten Realms]] storyline, Lolth began as an intermediary goddess abiding in the sixty-sixth layer of the Abyss, the Demonweb Pits. Through the events that transpired in ''War of the Spider Queen series'', she transformed herself into a greater goddess as depicted in 4th Edition, the Demonweb Pits becoming its own plane.
