Re: Neogi as who's pawns? (lost e-mails)

Well, given the neogi, it would make sense for some to turn on their
creators and masters at some point although there could still be a
trigger that only certain drow (those with special connections to the
priesthood like high level clerics and some powerful male drow wizards)
know about that will either force the compliance of a given neogi or
kill it instantly. They maybe psychopaths but the drow are no fools.

>From what I recall from SJ lore, drow hate neogi, seeing them as
abominations of the arachnid holy form....
Doesn't mean they AREN'T made by drow, merely drow hate 'em on sight, which
makes sense as drow hate other arachnids (cildabrin, iirc?) that aren't
"lolth blessed"

Hmmm, Neogi as some sort of drow experiment...what an intriguing idea. It
would also be an interesting way to have the drow and the neogi actually use
the same ships. Another way of reconciling Spider Moon with mainstream
SpellJammer. I think I actually like this idea. How much material exists on
what sort of religion, if any, that the neogi subscribe to? Even if there
were evidence to the contrary an individual DM might be tempted to stretch
the rules so to speak and change the neogi deity to Lloth. Quite the notion
to wrap your brain around...

While this is an interesting theory... 
A) There are Spelljamming drow :) I forget, offhand, whether the major Drow
anchorage was in Realmspace or Greyspace, but the Drow do field a modest
number of ships in the void. Jade Spider Commandships and Monarch class
Armadas mostly. 
B) The Neogi do not worship Lolth. If they had been a Drow creation, then
like everything else the Drow do, there would have been some reverence
built-in to the race for the Spider Queen. In fact, the only published
source that mentions Neogi priests or worship at all is in the Astromundi
cluster, where the Neogi worship the Astromundi incarnation of the Egyptian
god Set. 
Also: the Drow would *never* have let their creations range so far beyond
their control -- it's in the Drow nature to keep a close rein on slaves and
servitors.
