[edit] Basics
The War of the Spider Queen book series was overseen by R. A. Salvatore, and each book was written by a different writer from Wizards of the Coast. The cover art for all six books were painted by Brom.
The background of the story was set in the Lolth-worshipping drow society. On the very first page of the first book of the series, Lolth wrapped herself in a cocoon, abandoning her mortal worshippers in the Realms. All of her priestesses, including the highest-ranking matron mothers, lost their divine magical abilities, which in turn caused a series of events that would shake the very foundations of drow society.
