[An excerpt from a lengthy speech by Grand Matron Tarrae, first delivered in Menzoberranzan and recorded by a Seldarine spy.]

Praise be to Lolth, Mother of All Drow. Her web binds us, body and soul, and strangles the unworthy before they can draw breath.

Those who stand before me have proven their worth. You shall educate all new converts to Lolth's laws using any means necessary. Many of them fear the goddess - as they should - but their faith is not yet true.

Their minds are simple and should be treated accordingly. They must follow the order of every priestess like a sacred decree. They must never cover their eyes and insult Lolth's gift. They must honour the House that raised them from their pathetic, treasonous origins. They must keep our secrets upon pain of death.

Ensure that death is public, should the time ever come. Lolth smiles on those who are creative in matters of torture.
