Spoiler alert*******
At the end of book 5, our heroes are just outside Lolth's temple, and they are greeted by her hand maidens. I do not have the book in front of me, so I am trying to recall from memory.
Anyway, my question is around Lolth's hand maidens. What reference book are they in, I thought I saw that Lolth has a couple of special hand maidens and I am looking through the various MM's and can't remember where I saw them....
If someone could refresh my memory that would be great :)
Cheers :)
Baron

Abyssal widows is what they are called in the tome.

I don't recall seeing them in a tome. I just did a scan through Demihuman Deities and did not see them listed under Lolth's write up there. |

Yochlols are or were handmaidians of Lolth.
Sources could be planescape, not sure where else they are mentioned. |

Seach provides only one mention at all about them http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/annihilationinterview
and there is just a breif mention of them, by that name
"So, fans who reach the end of Annihilation wanting more -- where one of the Abyssal Widows guarding the portal to the Demonweb Pits lets slip a word that really only Pharaun seems to pick up on"
Now if they are still Yochlols more information can be gathered on them using that seach term. |

| Well if you want the info on Yochlols you can find them in the Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerun on page 34. it says they are considered the hand maidens of Lloth so I don’t know if that is what you are looking for or if this Abyssal Widow is something else entirely. Hope that helps a bit. |

| They are also in Drow of the Underdark. :) Or was it the Menzoberranzan box set? I believe it's Drow though.... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

First choice was right.  Drow of the Underdark has them on page 126. |

Yochlols are also detailed (in 2e) in the Villains' Lorebook.

Nothing specific I'm afraid. Just basic references to their position in the hierarchy of the Demonweb Pits, and a few notes about their overall functions, most of which we are familiar with through the various other sourcebooks and novels they've been mentioned in.

It might be time to try some threads for authors that were involved in this series. Perhaps one of them might be able to help. |
