Nokir
Nokir was a Drifer. A species not new to Arethil but never seen by anyone or anything else before. Drow, who lived nearest to them, never came back from their deep pits because they were a Drider's food, and they couldn't allow any meal to be skipped.
But in recent years, the Drider population had been increasing exponentially and The Abyss was no longer large enough to house such an expansive, ravenous species. So they dug, in all directions as ordered by The Pentarchy. And they reached the surface.
They attracted attention of course. Of all kinds. Inquisitive, curious minds sought to learn more. Others wanted to ensure that they were not a threat. Others wanted to negotiate. Others wanted to exterminate.
The first and largest break was now a gaping pit somewhere in the Falwood, and the trees around it were covered in spiderwebs the size of small house roofs. One of these new webs belonged to Nokir.
Now to explain what Driders are. They are human torsoes on top of spider bodies. And they're huge.
Nokir sat in his sleeping web when one of the many strands of silk hidden along the ground alerted him to a presence. He sniffed. It was an orc, a new scent.
