Well, some things need to be put in "canon" order here.
Lolth was thrown out of the Seldarine, named and cursed into spider demon / tanar'ri form. Her true form was that of a deity ... and now is again that of a deity. She is no longer a tanar'ri and no-one knows for sure how short (by deific standards) that state actually lasted.
None of her children nor Selvetarm was turned into a tanar'ri though, so they were and are deities, just like any other FR deity.
To turn him to evil, and out of Eilistraee's grasp, Lolth seduced him to kill the Spider Demon Zanassu, which he did. He assumed the demon's role (only the role) thereafter, but also consumed part of the demon's wholly chaotic and evil "nature". Thus he turned evil and became a ... no THE loyal servant of the Spider Queen.
Sources for this range from Demihuman Deities via Faiths & Pantheons and the Players' Guide to Faerūn up to Lost Empires of Faerūn. Remember that the FR Lolth is distinct from the Core one. If not in the past (AD&D), she is by default nowadays ... and by default ever was distinct as well - own history and all. |
