Many scholars argue that Corahakar is the
ultimate example of cause and effect. When Stasis struck down the Spider
Queen, her elves were left with few places to turn. An opportunist and a
visionary, Corahakar stepped in to pick up the pieces, but not before he
allowed years of civil war and weakening rulers to soften the resolve of
the drow.
Like Loomashyn had begun to do,
Corahakar stepped into the void left by the Spider Queen’s death. His
appeal was and is directed at the long-subjugated male population. Male
dominance is his goal and the goal of his faithful. A goal they will pay
any price to achieve.
Corahakar found a quick
adversary in the form of the cult of Wandle, which had also siphoned off
some former followers of the Spider Queen. The two cults have been at
each others throats since the moment they recognized each other’s
existence. It is likely neither will gain any more power until the other
is eliminated.
The Counsil, while mindful of
Corahakar, pays him little attention. He has no intention of joining the
Counsil and his feud with Wandle and competition from Loomashyn keep him
at bay as well as any crusade or persecution could.

Dogma: Females are the
poison that looks to sour the souls of males. Males must do whatever is
necessary to keep females from rising to power. The drow elves realize
this better than any, and must show all other races the truth. Death
comes only to the weak, and is torment to those who do not follow the path
of their deity. No female can be saved.
