Arachne Solara

(ah-RACK-nay so-LAR-ah)

Time and Nature


Some theorize about gods beyond the gods, the gods' gods, if you will. Sometimes these theorizations are labelled as powerful impersonal forces, like Time. Sometimes they remain mysterious and unfathomable, such as Arachne Solara. Mystics and philosophers say that the web of Arachne Solara is the binding of the universe - the universal fabric which connects all the parts of the world.

Her origin is unknown. She was unimportant, or in the background, until the creation of Time. Some legends have it that she created Time, others that she herself is Time.

Few beings actively worship Arachne Solara, for her spells are beyond mortal ken, and she does not respond to prayers and appeals. She appears when and where she desires. The results of her presence are sometimes benevolent and generous, at other times cruel and terrifying, but usually neutral and natural. She eats anything she catches in her web.

She is usually shown as a bloated black spider, or as a woman to the hips, mounted upon a spider's thorax and abdomen.
