Numerous chronicles document the various servants of Lolth The Spider Queen, known to be a capricious and manipulative goddess, creating and discarding her chosen ones and champions with such ease, even demigods under her command such as Selventarn, ended up being used as a mere distraction for the followers of the Lady of the Dance, Eilistraee during The War of The Spider Queen. The servants of Lolth are but pieces in a great game of Sava for the Lady of the Demonweb Pits, and in the wake of this, many of these figures arise and fall into oblivion, leaving only chronicles of fascinating figures such as the Lady Penitent.

 

In this document, I compile, thanks to sources that I fear must remain anonymous, everything we know about The Dark Phoenix. A figure erased from history, fallen, mostly into oblivion, though even today it is said that whispers of her can still be heard in the deepest regions of the Underdark of Ancient Shanatar.

 

Some individuals claimed she was a slum harlot, who caught the eye of The Spider Queen in her thirst for vengeance against the nobles, others that she was a noble maiden of a great drow house with ambitions of power. For this reason, her early origins will always be uncertain, but what is known is that this woman contained a mysterious inner power that brought her to Lolth's attention.

 

There are myths, buried both by time and by the different sects and beliefs in The Spider Queen that, variously spread throughout the houses of the Drow City of Guallidurth in deep Xanathar, speak of this figure, in a fragmented way, apparently, this woman fought combining a martial grace with these strange powers that accompanied her techniques.

 

These almost forgotten myths attribute The Dark Phoenix as the main force in overthrowing and destroying the last Dwarf King of Shanathar, banishing the Delzoun Clan from the southern region of Faerun, this figure would continue to be shrouded in mystery, as an agent of Lolth, hunting down all other rival sects of rival faiths, subjugating the Vhaerunites and the Kiaransaleans, which would cement the Guallidurth known today in the southern Underdark. The legends of The Dark Phoenix picture her as ruthless and cruel, relentless in combat, leading the charge ahead of even the slaves, annihilating the Spider Queen's enemies left and right with her strange and unusual flaming powers and her exotic weaponry that, for some reason, resembled the starry sky of the surface.

 

Not much else is known of this woman beyond her name and the last time she was heard of, Keirana, she had been sent north by Lolth herself, on the hunt for a great enclave of the Lady of the Dance, never to return. It is believed that this is one of the reasons why this figure has been buried in the annals, for her disappearance could be consider an embarrassment to the Spider Queen's followers.
