Slithiss the Watcher

Silthiss, the Watcher, is a revered figure among the Driders of Atlach-Nacha, chosen for his keen intellect, unshakable calm, and unparalleled cunning. Once a desperate orphan in the slums of the Old Knot District, Silthiss found salvation and purpose within the Order of the Obsidian Web, embracing transformation into a drider as a sacred gift rather than a curse. Tasked with protecting the White Ziggurat of Atlach-Nacha and its connection to the Dreamlands, he has become a master of stealth and ambush, his eerie composure unnerving even the most stalwart adventurers. Silthiss is the voice of the Order, questioning intruders with a detached curiosity that hides a sharp, calculating mind. To him, every thread of fate is part of Atlach-Nacha's grand design, and he sees his role as both protector and inquisitor, ensuring the integrity of the web while subtly guiding those whose destinies align with the Spinner in Darkness’s cosmic purpose.
