Children of Malice

The Children of Malice are a small, secret faction of spies and assassins in service to Lolth who hope to overthrow the Kryn Dynasty and return the drow to their previous worship. They work in secret, primarily as sleeper agents scattered throughout Xhorhas or as outlanders raiding Kryn settlements and building forces for when they strike. As a result they have no formal alliances and tend to gather information through normal interactions with the residents of the Wastes and Rosohna.

History
Following the Divergence, Lolth spent her time in the Abyss plotting to take her revenge on the dark elves who had left her control in favor of worshiping The Luxon. She slowly gathered followers from the various goblinoids and the residents of the Wastes of Xhorhas with anti-Dynasty sympathies; and with members of the Kryn Dynasty frustrated by various actions of the Dens, particularly those with xenophobic tendencies who opposed the open inclusion of Luxon followers from other races.

With the upcoming Apogee Solstice of 843 PD, the Children of Malice, along with the Elder Cross and the newly risen Carrion Breach, started to perform ritual sacrifices and summonings enhanced by the Apogee Solstice, and made attempts to "splinter tunnel" the Divine Gate. The Children of Malice have a connection with the Ruby Vanguard and the main goal of their operations is to distract attention from the Vanguard.
