my tav's had 'escaped drider ceremony' on their background since day one, but now im like. what if i doom your narrative. what if the worm is keeping you from becoming that which you most fear. what if freedom from the illithid means capture at the hands of llolth.

#tav bg3 #vicorae #drider #spiders for tw #arachnophobia #just to be safe #things ive drawn #if they were an origin character they'd have an end game like karlachs #where things arent resolved because its a bigger issue than can be fixed in the time span and scope of bg3 #theres been a bunch of different drider lore over the years but it looks like bg3 is rolling with the kind im familiar with #which is that its a punishment from llolth for failing her.#(or in vic's case: for being a dirty dirty rebel and also gender fuckery)#drow Hate Driders. they are not considered humanoid or sentient. they ARE considered disgusting and horrifying.#they dont have genitalia or a sex drive. they're driven mad by the pain of the transformation and dont have survival instincts.#(thats why Kar'niss is the way he is!)#they guard menzoberranzan out of compulsive duty to llolth and bc their one desire is to die in combat.#vicorae was SUPPOSED to be turned into a drider but the ceremony was interrupted and they escaped just prior to bg3 #and now. there are Consequences.
