Excerpts from the Journal of Pauk Pautina.
I have arrived in Sigil at last. Here my mission starts. I arrived, cold, starving, weakened. Stripped of my powers and my health. Oh how the lady Lloth loves to test her servants!
But, i have had my vision! Lloth has chosen me! My path is clear!
Praise Her!!!
Praise Her!!!
Praise Her!!!
The females no longer deserve to rule. They will be tamed, they will submit, it has been decided. And I will be the instrument of that change!
Praise Her!!!
A female I met in the Bazaar today. Typical, arrogant, full of blood lust. And when i did not show her the proper respect I could sense the desire to kill in her. But she was outnumbered by some servants I have acquired, and dared not act. A guard also intervened.
I think we understood one another clearly. She will most likely try to punish me, perhaps unto death, if she is given the chance. I shall be merciful though. I shall cut out her tongue, poke out her eyes, put hot pins into her ears so she is deafened, and i shall keep her as a pet for the rest of her life, or until i tire of her. She will learn to show proper respect to me and to the Lady Lloth.
Praise Her!!!
The degenerate priestesses of Menzoberranzan and the whole Underdark will soon learn how they have sinned against the Lady, and they will know fear and pain. Never again will the females be allowed to rule in Lloth's name. The vision i had assures me of this.
Praise Her!!!
The Eillistraean whores will also learn to bend their knees to me and the Lady. Those wayward children must be brought back into the fold. That or die. There can be no compromise. They will learn this.
Praise Her!!!
I must make a few notes here, for posterity's sake. After all, one day, I shall require a Biography publishing, telling the story of how I saved the Drow race and brought us new greatness.
Praise Her!!!
*** Below is a long story about his history, raused as a minor nobel in Menzoberranzan. His eventual downfall caused by a female using him badly in Savi, and his eventually flight from the city to avoid death. His years of wandering in the underdark and then to the surface (obvious to any reader that this was years of madness and desparation, but written to sound more like a prophet being tested and gaining enlightenment), and finally the vision which he referred to, the one in which he believed Lloth appeared to him and gave him his instructions. ***
And so it was that I finally found my way to Sigil. Devoid of all except my wits, my faithful spider companions, and the rags upon my back.
I stepped forward into this brave new world, and it here it shall begin.
Praise Her!!!

The reactions i have been getting from other drow are predictable. Some pour scorn upon me, mock me. Others ignore me. Those who claim to follow the Lady are heretics who need to be taught the true path.
I had another run in with the female who i mentioned in my previous entry. I still do not know her name, nor do i care. She dared to try and instruct a Gargoyle to attack me while i was in spider form. The blatant heresy of it! She thinks by doing so she can bypass the Lady Lloth's wrath? Oh, woe unto her if she so much as scratches a spider. She will feel many bites.
But, the game must be played. I must find allies and converts. Not those fools i have been travelling to the planes with. Some have been useful. They sully their hands with blood while i walk amongst the corpses of fallen enemies unscathed. For amusement i sometimes take on the aspect of a Troll or other creature and sample the battle, but otherwise i remain apart. Watching and observing, keeping my servants alive to do my work.

Awakening and revelation!!!
Another dream. Terrible as is wont, those dreams sent by Lloth. And yet, it gave me guidance. I realize, my approach was too direct, too unsubtle, i must be more like the spider. Lie in wait, let the flies come to my web.
I must build up power first, and influence. Sigil shall be my web, and within it i shall find many flies. And recruits of course! I must have an army for when i go forth to march on the underdark and take my rightful role.
The realization of this has led me down other roads, and Lloth blesses me, she sends me a servant. A Drider, named Udar Cusayet. He was a wizard in Ched Nasad, until he fell foul of one of the matron mothers who punished him by the transformation. He also seeks revenge, and has agreed to work with me to bring down the mothers.
He will serve as my envoy, agent, messenger, and, as and when required, an assassin. I think he will serve well. His hatred runs deep.
Praise her!!!
