# Shriala Xorlarrin
_Drow Priestess of Lolth | [[House Xorlarrin]] | Hunting the [[Cinderborn]]_
## Summary
Youngest daughter of Matron Mother [[Zeerith Xorlarrin]]. Assigned to hunt the [[Cinderborn]] because she's competent—methodical, patient, effective and cruel. Has contracted [[Bregan D'aerthe]] to assist. Previously transformed her brother [[Nezznar Xorlarrin|Nezznar]]'s surviving followers into driders after his death at the [[Forge of Spells]].
%%
## At a Glance
Lithe drow with obsidian skin, piercing violet eyes, silver-webbed hair. Ceremonial armor adorned with pulsing runes that seem to drink in shadows. Melodious yet menacing voice—hums dark hymns to [[Lolth]].
Earned her mother's trust through demonstrated competence. Won't strike until success is certain—gathering intelligence, positioning assets, waiting for the right moment. [[Bregan D'aerthe]]'s professionals give her reach across the [[Sword Coast]].
## Personality
Zealously devoted to [[Lolth]]. Ruthlessly ambitious but disciplined—channels it into results rather than tantrums. Forged in [[Menzoberranzan]]'s cutthroat politics. Views her sister [[Berellip Xorlarrin|Berellip]]'s resentment as proof she made the right choice being patient.
