Racial Information
The Arachne are governed and led by the current god of death. They understand the cycle of the gods and help keep it flowing by means of magic and ritual. Most Arachne live in underground caves where they can harvest corpses and perform their rituals in peace yet some have been allowed to venture forth. Creation of an Arachne can either happen through reproduction, where the male mates with the female then provides his body as a carrier for the eggs until they burst forth from him and thus provides his dead body to the new hatchlings so that they may have their first meal, or by the death god's blessing. Some souls who he deems worthy can be saved from eternal slumber and be created as an Arachne of some power or purpose. Usually as guards or zealots of his will or even avatars of his word. Those of the caves never use fire arms and rarely do those who are allowed to leave ever even pick one up. Most tend to favor either the blade or magics of all types.
