Faction: Mordor

Role: Giant Spider

''In days of old, Melkor, seeking to extinguish the lights of Valinor, sought the aid of Ungoliant; Creature of darkness, terrifying spider. Together, portected from sight by the dark webs of Ungoliant, they went together to Valinor, stealing theElves' hoards of gems and slew the Two Trees. Whilst fleeing towards Melkor's old fortresses in the north, Ungoliant stayed him and demanded he fulfill his agreement to feed her the hoard of gems, for she had endless hunger. However, Melkor withheld the Silmarils from her, and having grown greater than he, she wrapped her webs around him and sought to destroy him. Melkor gave a great cry, so that all that region became named for it, and hearing it, Balrog's came to his aid. The fire and wrath of their oncoming filled Ungoliant with dismay, and she fled to the South. She mated and afterwards killed other fell beasts that had been there since before the Pillars of Light of Old. Her offspring then populated the region of Nan Dungortheb, and made it a place of dread. Waters became poisonous, and light was strangled by their hideous webs. Hundreds of years later, heeding the pleas of Earendil, the Valar waged the War Of Wrath, which brought an end to the realm of Melkor Morgoth, Black Foe of the world. So great was the onset of the Valar that the entire region of Beleriand was destroyed, dropped into the ocean. So it is that the Valar have ever since never come forth in full war, lest the last fair regions of Ea be destroyed. The spiders, meanwhile, fled from Nan Dungortheb, and made their way East. They then settled on the borders of Mordor, and began to multiply again. Some went North to the Greenwood, which was later called Mirkwood. Others, of whom Shelob was the chief, stayed around the Mountains of Mordor, and the region of Nan Ungol. The spiders, and especially Shelob, continued to multiply, and those places were filled with dread.''

Here is where true lore ends, and my tale begins...

''Eventually, despite the spiders had diminished, another great spider emerged from their broods. He was especially strong and wicked, plotting to expand his webs and block out sunlight in lands beyond Mordor. One fateful day, he strayed down from the Mountains that were his home in search of prey other than Orcs and smaller spiders. He came to the woodlands of Ithilien with a few others who admired him, and seeing a group of Rangers made a plan. Following them with surprising stealth, he tracked them to their camp. In the lonely watches of the night when only few are awake, he and his companions came close to the guards, and before the guards knew what was happening, they were ensnared and quickly slain. The spiders quickly encircled the camp with webs, and moved in for the kill. The commander of the Rangers was less easy, and fought Guldorb bravely. Guldorb received wounds in that battle such as he had never felt, including scars along his head, and the loss of the tip of one of his legs. However, he was great, and not to be denied. He won the contest, but ever since, his feud with the Free Peoples is bitter. Eventually, scouting orcs for Sauron became aware, and seeing a surprising new ally rise up within his land, made sure he had good food by sending him on missions along the borders of Mordor, slaying everything in his path alongside the Orc legions.''

And that's pretty much it so far. I intend to add to it with actual events as I progress in the server. As for items and abilities and whatnot, speed and jumpboost would be nice considering spiders are pretty mobile(cuz they have 8 legs and whatnot), and maybe a slightly stronger than usual poisoned sword or dagger to act as my stinger?

Also, let me know any changes I should make! I tried to make this as lore accurate as possible. I'm aware a spider leaving Mordor is a bit farfetched, but it's minecraft after all lol.
