Ghaunadaur left the Demonweb Pits, the others died. Members īetween 1375 DR and 1379 DR, the drow pantheon downsized itself to a single deity, Lolth. Only Ghaunadaur was capable of making his presence known or at least felt on some level by most drow. Most of the rare few who knew of Kiaransalee believed her to be an undead madwoman who was a goddess only in her fantasies, while Selvetarm was practically forgotten.
Eilistraee, Lolth's daughter and the only benevolent drow deity, was both on the surface and in the Underdark the subject of wildly inaccurate and wrong legends. Vhaeraun's existence and agenda was only common knowledge among surface drow and in those parts of the Underdark where the Spider Queen's power was not absolute. Lolth's domination over the majority of drow was to such an extent that even information on the other gods was not readily accessible to them. In truth, the Dark Seldarine were a pantheon only in a loose sense as most drow gods did not allow their followers to give any reverence to other deities rather, they were simply a collection of gods, some related to each other and some not, whose followers were primarily drow, and thus they were bitter rivals as they clashed over the hearts and minds of the drow.
Lolth considered him her real rival and enemy. He had the largest following on the surface and the second largest overall among the Dark Seldarine. Vhaeraun, her son, was among the opposers. She was opposed to varying degrees by the rest of the pantheon and did not share her power with other gods in Lolth-worshiping city states like Menzoberranzan the reign of her priesthood was absolute. She dominated the drow race's lives and urged them into heavy infighting. The Dark Seldarine, the pantheon of the drow, was "led" by Lolth, the Spider Queen, in the sense that she was the most powerful and widely worshiped drow deity.
