Virtually all female nobles in the city are priestesses, if only nominally.
There are two main types:
- House Priestesses. They are daughters/matrons of a house and serve Lolth, their House and the city, in that order.
- Temple Priestesses have left their houses to serve Lolth and the city. Becoming a temple priestess is also one of the ways for a commoner female to make a career in the city.
Priests? Don't make me laugh, heretic! Other gods than Lolth being worshiped in the city? Gee. Don't you look like you need to be sacrificed just for asking that question?
