			Knowledge from your sanowret crystal about the Spidersworn and wildling spiders rings clear in your mind:
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
			Is it possible to know the mind of a spider? A group that calls itself the Spidersworn discovered the answer. In Shorka 425, they made their first public appearance at their shop, Accents for the Arachnophile, in order to tell the public about themselves and their charges, the wildling spiders.

			The Spidersworn follow the goddess Harawep. They clothe themselves in elaborate robes swathed in colorful wildlace, but that is where the resemblance to an ordinary cult ends. Incredibly, their initiation rites assimilate their minds into a collective consciousness. As a result, the Spidersworn always speak and move in perfect unison, even when making slight adjustments to their posture.

			When the Spidersworn speak of themselves, it is invariably in the plural: we, us, ourselves. When they are together, the Spidersworn share a collective sensory experience. When they are far apart, they simply know what the others have experienced, thought, or felt.

			Their purpose is to serve, translate, and speak for Harawep's creatures, who form part of their collective consciousness. As they put it, "We share their mind, as they share ours, as do all of Her creatures." Yet while the Spidersworn share a telepathic link with all spiders, there is one species of spider to which they owe complete devotion: the wildling spider.

			It is the venom of wildling spiders that transforms ordinary Humans -- it does not work on other races -- into the Spidersworn. Harawep created wildling spiders for this purpose and others.

			Wildling spiders are a long-lived species. The spiderlings typically gestate within crystalline droplets for a hundred years, although specimens have been known to remain in their droplets for up to a thousand years. When the spiderlings feel it is the right time, they emerge, although they are very small and only venture out of the crystalline droplets for short periods of time.

			Unlike conventional spiders, wildling spiders feed on mana -- primarily from the air but potentially from the blood of those deemed worthy. A fully grown wildling spider is approximately two to three feet in length (including the legs), and coloring depends on the type of mana it has recently consumed. A diet high in life mana produces blues and greens. Spiders that have fed on holy mana are white and gold. Elemental mana results in elemental hues -- or sometimes a very particular blue. Lunar mana is expressed with whorls of shadows and pale moon and starlight colors.

			Effectively immortal, wildling spiders live until killed. Their health is linked to that of the Web of Fate: that which harms the Web is poisonous to the spiders. Even being exposed to the presence of a sufficiently corrupt necromancer can jeopardize their health, and wildling spiders have refused to show themselves when such "sickness" is present.

			While conventional spiders spin silk, elder wildling spiders spin wildlace. Authentic wildlace contains small but extremely durable crystalline droplets similar to the structures used for egg casings. The Spidersworn consider wildlace to be a gift that brings the wearer closer to the wildling spiders. Each piece is unique in color and design, and these features cannot be altered, as to change the gift is to destroy it in one's own hubris.

			The light and crystal sound of your sanowret crystal fades slightly as you come to the end of the knowledge about the Spidersworn and wildling spiders. You feel quite enlightened, if a bit mentally tired.
