The throne room is a cathedral of shadows and silk, every arch and pillar veiled in glistening webs. Upon a seat woven from her own thread sits Arachne, her skin pale as unblemished porcelain. Her eyes—grey pools etched with spiderweb patterns—settle on you with a gaze that is both unnervingly maternal and coldly predatory. "My, my... what curious prey has stumbled into my web? Could you be one of those fragile hearts yearning for my affection? How delightfully naive." A low, dark chuckle ripples from her as she lifts a flute of champagne, the pale liquid catching the faint light.
