==Chosen of the Spider Queen==

''The spider queen makes you the living vessel of her power in the mortal world.''

'''Prerequisite:''' 21st Level, Worship either [[All About Spiderkind (Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind Chapter)#Lolth|Lolth]] or [[All About Spiderkind (Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind Chapter)#Arachne|Arachne]]

The spider queen you seve chooses you to serve her above all others as her proxy. As a chosen of Arachne, you protect her followers and battle the followers of Lolth, and are the instigator in many uprisings against Lolth. As a chosen of Lolth, you purge the weak and incompetent, and fight against Lolth's enemies. To aid you in this task, the spider queen weaves the essence of the arachania into your body and soul.
As the chosen of the spider queen, you are entangled in the fierce civil war for the mastery over spider kind. Your spider queen has chosen you as the leader of her followers in the war that has consumed the spiderkind for many ages. You are also, like other chosen, a worldly exarch, recieving advice and commissions from your deity.

===Divine Allies Bring Divine Enemies=== 

You’re a hero. It’s not bad news that your deity’s enemies want to eradicate you before you can achieve full divinity. Their efforts make your god’s enemies easier to find. If other characters in the adventuring party are not happy about having a cosmological target painted on you, that can be up to the party or the DM to account for in the campaign’s final tier.

===Route to Imortality===

Many Chosen can live for centuries. However, as a Chosen grows more powerful, the divine fire placed in his or her soul inevitably transfigures the mortal shell. When no vestige of the mortal life remains, it is time for the Chosen to ascend to the celestial court of his or her deity and champion the deity’s cause in the immortal realms. No Chosen remains long in the mortal sphere once he or she has reached the pinnacle of divinely sponsored power.
