[AR-uh-NAE-uh]
Spider goddess
Aranea is the goddess of spiders, who emotionlessly preys upon the helpless and weak. All spiders are her descendants.
Among the southern humans she is depicted as a stylized version of the most deadly local species of spider, or often as the common steppe pack spider. Trolls carve images of her from a soft spherical rock — a hole is bored for the mouth, and her legs are joined to clasp a victim.
