In the new Demonweb Pits the story of Quenthel Baenre ' s group comes to a close as they trek across the barren plane to Lolth ' s temple to see who will became the new " Yor ' thae " ( the Chosen of Lolth ) Quenthel , her strength and faith apparently fully restored , continues to move towards Lolth , fully under the belief that she is the " Yor ' thae " . With her are Pharaun Mizzrym , Jeggred Baenre , and Danifae Yauntyrr . Jeggred is now fully devoted to Danifae , while Pharaun ' s allegiance leans towards Quenthel , though no trust is held between them . Meanwhile , Halisstra Melarn , having joined up with fellow priestesses of Eilistraee , Uluyara and Feliane , continues on her journey to kill Lolth , but determines that she must first kill the " Yor ' thae " . Halisstra believes that person to be Quenthel Baenre . Quenthel ' s and Halisstra ' s groups meet at the Pass of the Soulreaver , a mysterious place located by the Soulreaver beast and individual trials that the faithful must pass to reach Lolth . Before entering the pass , Halisstra and her fellow priestesses attack Quenthel , relying on Danifae ' s aid . However , Danifae betrays them ; Feliane and Uluyara and killed and Halisstra is fatally wounded by Danifae . Cursing the betrayal , and lack of intervention by Eilistraee , she renounces her faith yet again , returning to the darkness of Lolth . She manages a healing spell , saving herself from death , and she follows Danifae , Quenthel , Jeggred and Pharaun into the Path of the Soulreaver . In order to pass over to Lolth ' s realm , the females who enter the pass undergo tests of faith , including viewing themselves in the future having been rejected as the " Yor ' thae " . In Menzoberranzan , the duergar invasion has been squashed , and House Xorlarrin lays siege to the traitor House Agrach Dyrr on orders from Matron Mother Triel Baenre . The phylactery of the Lichdrow Dyrr is hidden away within the house , and Gromph Baenre undergoes a mission to breach the wards placed around the house and destroy it . Using scrying techniques , he discovers the phylactery is hidden within the house ' s temple , and disguises himself to gain entry . Once inside , he engages in a battle with an obsidian golem , the protector of the phylactery . He defeats the golem in the form of Larikal Dyrr . Once he passes the wards on the phylactery , he cleaves it with an enchanted axe , trapping the Lichdrow ' s soul within the axe . Upon the destruction of the phylactery , the master ward is activated , causing the complete destruction of the temple and damage to the rest of the Agrach Dyrr complex . However , Gromph teleports out just in time due to a " contingency " evasion spell . Back in the Demonweb Pits , the Quenthel and company come upon the Plains of Soulfire and encounter the Black Horn Regiment led by Inthracis of Corpsehaven , a yugoloth ordered by the god Vhaeraun to kill the Yor ' thae . Quenthel summons a great demon to assist their fight , while Danifae calls upon Lolth to send millions of spiders to their aid . Pharaun takes on Inthracis himself , and eventually defeats the yugoloth . However , in the process he essentially petrifies himself , although he is able use his magical ring to fly back to Quenthel for aid . Quenthel , however , takes his ring and leaves him to be devoured by hordes of black spiders ; only his finger ( later retrieved up by Aliisza ) remains . With the battle raging , Halisstra joins the others on the Planes of Soulfire . The three priestesses make their way to Lolth ' s tabernacle . Once inside , Danifae is consumed by the eighth of Lolth ' s eight spider manifestations . Suddenly the other seven manifestations attack the eighth , and from the carnage steps Danifae Yauntyrr , transformed into half - drow and half - spider , the " Yor ' thae " and the new face of Lolth . Quenthel is ordered to go back to Menzoberranzan and be restored as the Mistress of Arach - Tinilith . Halisstra , however , is punished for her unforgivable acts of disloyalty and sacrilege , and is ordered to serve as Lolth ' s Lady Penitent . Upon her exit from the tabernacle , Quenthel sacrifices Jeggred to the new incarnation of Lolth , allowing spiders to feed on his flesh . Thus ends the War of the Spider Queen .
