Yet of all the elves created on that day one stood out beyond all others, she was Lolthiriel. Dragon born to clan Cancarneyar she was the shining light of the elves, a being wise, kind and so beautiful all who knew her loved her. It is perhaps unsurprising that she was made queen of the Illythiiri and upon her marriage to Larethian Thuleandor, king of the Lythari she was proclaimed Qua Val'sharess or queen of queens by the Elven people as a whole. - The Story of Lolthiriel

The title Val'sharess once meant 'undisputed queen of the Elves', a name now almost exclusively used by the Drow and by the Tarantulas Nation as the title of the Il'haress chosen by Lolth to lead her children. Now taken as the title for 'She who is most blessed by Lolth'; it now elevates the religious leader of the Faction to the most powerful queen amongst all.

Since the fall of the last great drow empire infighting between the noble houses had meant that no Val'sharess had been named in many ages. It wasn't until the stability of the new Tarantula Faction left by the first Karrash-Morr era that allowed Araushnee Naxos D'Fey to become the first true Val'sharess since the drow empire reformed, and she passed this title to Ginifae Karras-Morr when called back by Lolth.

 

The Val'Sharess's word is law in all things, and is the single law of the Tarantulas Nation.
