Deep within the ancient forests of Aedes, beyond the borders of gnome mushroom settlements, conclaves of sentient spiders hold sway. Within their dark and webbed confines, these spiders devour gnomes taken captive by their silken strands, and weave their conquests of the woods.
Sages have long sought to understand the motives of these "Parliaments of Spiders", as they are called, yet none have returned alive. Reports of spiders the size of bulls have been increasingly heard, some are even claimed to speak in the Common tongue of the Sovereignty. But more often, the communicate in their own language of clicks, clacks and ruffles.
Of particular concern is their preference for gnomes. Of late, the threat of spiders around gnome hamlets has been increasing, leading fearful gnomes to call for outside help.
