[religion] One could say threads of similarity run between dark gods; the desire to dominate and rule chief among them. If Gods ever deigned to fight — and not send their worshipers in their stead as they oft do— one must also wonder whether Bane or the Spider Queen would come out the victor.... Ah, but you don't follow Her tenants anymore, do you? One could wonder whether Gortash follows the tenants of his God faithfully when he smiles at you, calm as one can be when surrounded by the piling corpses of the dead.
"The Black Lord or the Dark Mother?" As many gods do, their folios do overlap in the most basic of manners. God-Lord and God-Queen, both equally terrible and malevolent. Both demanding utter worship and dominion. Imagining the ravaging the world would face in the middle of even a petty dispute between the two is chilling.

"An interesting - if entirely blasphemous question should it be uttered aloud in the Underdark. If I still bloodied my knees at the Spider Bitch's altar, then I should by all rights cut out your wagging tongue and give it as an offering. Hm, no. You are a male, and an iblith no less, so I do fear the cost would be even steeper," Iraestra contemplates Enver critically, allowing the threat of violence done to drip treacle-slow into the air. She drums her fingers in thought against her chin. "Maybe your tongue and both your hands, if you are so fond of The Black Hand. Lolth would find the humor in that.
"If only for my own satisfaction I would like to imagine Bane the victor. Little else would taste sweeter to me. I do wonder though - what does your Lord think of your musings? Would he also condemn them, thinking it akin to the mortal sin of doubting him? Lolth certainly would. She demands utter and complete compliance — in every word, in every action. Will you soon be smited for your daring?"
Make a [SKILL] check!
