Gods and Goddesses have powers. Some are good, others are bad, and a few are terrible. Lloth fits into the last category. And as Dark Maiden, she is also a Black Widow, possessing some of the strongest magic that mankind and the gods themselves have ever seen. And here in Kheleksii her blessings have been given for the training of this art to be imparted on those that she deems are applicable.
Deep within one of the few mountains of the realm, there exists the place where Lloth's human form has been said to reside from time to time, when she wishes to stay in the realm of this world yet not be bothered by petty business. It is here that she has resurrected the place where she practiced, lifetimes and ages ago, the blessings of a Black Widow that she was born into creation with. Now she has offered the opportunity for other hopefulls to do the same, though learning for the first time. Vast in the majority of its space, Arachné's Lair (as the Goddess fondly calls it) is a dream for anyone that truly wishes to learn. And among its many alcoves and rooms, there Lloth herself will appear at times, maybe even to teach herself a class or two.
Entrance Hall
Made of blackened stone as the inside of the mountain, it is dark and cold from the constant weather that enters from outside when the iron doors to the lair are opened. There is not much light--as happens to be for most of the lair--but candles illuminate enough for you to see your way about. You may await here for your trainer, which will be told about your arrival by unseen messengers the moment that it occurs.
Library
Any and all tomes on the practice of the black arts will be found here. Overlooked by Ungwe, the librarian (NPC'd by you), it has rows upon rows of books with bound covers, each and every one of them holding valuable information that might be needed by you in the time ahead. And along sides of the room, you'll find a few wooden tables--most of them chipped or nearly broken down--where you might sit and read through. Ungwe has no patience for foolish questions however. Therefore, if you do not know what you're looking for, it's suggested that you don't enter until you're sure.
Laboratory
Here is where the actual training will take place. The Laboratory is broken down into different rooms in itself, each one will have a different trainer, and each trainer shall have a certain amount of students. Every lab has tables and chairs as well as plenty of cabinets and shelves containing all the equipment that you will need. Upon these you might see from time to time a few 'species' for experiments if your trainer deems it necessary for that days' lesson. You'll be taught every single discipline required to become a Black Widow here, at your instructors' discretion, of course.
Greenhouse
There will come a time in your training when you shall find it necessary to make certain potions or tinctures that will need herbs. Every single plant that contains a poison can be found in the Greenhouse. Vegetated from ground to ceiling, all plants are encased in the crystal that surrounds this place. How is it possible that plants survive without fresh air and sunlight? Don't worry on that account. Lloth uses plenty of schemes to make everything around the lair run smoothly, this, above all else, being one of thoe things.
Common Room
If you're so weak that you need a break from time to time, or if you feel it necessary to review through something or discuss a few plans for the class that you might have with fellow pupils, then this is the place to be. Don't expect commodity in the Common Room. A few chairs and rat-eaten rugs are the only things that adorn this place. As well, of course, as the necessary torches and candles to let you see one another without stumbling too much in the dark.
