Drow, E Medium Humanoid
Complex Monster, XP 8000
Level 20 (+8)
"You have worked hard for this honor my child. Now you will live in my house and carry out the will of Lilith as you were always meant to. Suffering is wisdom, as you have learned, and it is wisdom that you must share with all those who would cross our paths."
——Lessons commonly taught to a Drow High Priestess
A Drow High Priestess is among the most feared of Drow leaders. Directing lesser members of the church, nobles and soldiers to her whim, always to serve Lilith. A High Priestess is among the most frightening and beautiful of creatures to behold. Much like Lilith herself, to step into her chambers is to know brief pleasure, followed by agonizing death. The only thing higher in Drow society is a Matron Mother herself, so it is also at this level that life is the most dangerous for a Dark Elf Female. In addition to ruling those below her with an iron fist, and carrying out the demands of the Matron Mothers, the High Priestess must be ever vigilant for assassins and plots concocted by other lesser Priestesses to overthrow her. The position and powers granted a High Priestess are rarely given, they are taken in a moment of weakness, so any that elevate themselves to such a role know full well that nothing less than perfection in all things is acceptable.
