Akilva

"If it has more than two legs, it will turn on you the first chance it gets" - Wisdom from the mouth of "The Spiderkiller".

At a Glance


One of the few Drow to rebuke the worship of Lolth, Akilva ceremoniously slew the former Matron of Clan Givil of the Nine Clans and took the band as her own. Believing the praising of a dark god to only end in ruin, Akilva travelled the Underdark on a quest to destroy the minions of Lolth.

Mothers
An unwelcome presence in Lolthlorien, Akilva and her clan were invited by Breysis Vilatul under the auspices of peace and reconciliation. Having little to say to the Lady of Spiders, Akilva promised Breysis to torture her when the opportunity arose.

Sons
Having been captured, Rohkalik Korlyuhka was given the option to call on three clan-members to appeal to a stay-of-execution. Summoning Akilva, Rohkailik met with the leader of Clan Givil in the dark quarters of his prison.

The meeting with Akilva would prove problematic as Akilva, a fierce warrior, had little trust in prisoners of any side. Intending to win her to his stay-of-execition, Akilva was alienated by Rohkalik's weakness and exposed her own wish for matriarchal dominance.

In her conversation, she also revealed her connection to Baylin Aball, a former lover who had spurned her. Fearing that if Baylin rose to power the city would be placed in a rigid patriarchy, Akilva warned Rohkalik about allying with the master-of-concubines.

When Fortune's Triad arrived in Lolthlorien to rescue Rohkalik, they came to blows with Breysis and her loyal templar. The fight sprawled out across the city, involving champions from both of the subterranean gods -- Scuttle of Lolth and Shackle of Torog. In the chaos, "The Sunken Heart" was usurped by Shackle who turned the weapon on the warring Drow with the intent to sink the city to the depths of The Echoes. This move would be countered by Sagan Anlu'moon who turned the weapon on Shackle, killing him and blasting the weapon at the ceiling ofThe Underdark . The resulting magical calamity of the city-sinking weapon caused the ceiling of The Underdarkto dissolve away, exposing Lolthlorien and a large swath of The Deepsto the overland sun.

With Breysis' weapon spent and spider-forces in disarray, Akilva, the Spiderkiller captured the Queen of Spiders and had her ferried away to the dungeons of Lolthlorien as Lolth's corruption burnt away from exposure to the sun. Pledging to keep her "promise" of torturing Breysis, Akilva remained cautious of the power-vacuumn that allowed Baylin Aball to take Chair of The Nine Clans.
