Spider Spirits

Spider Spirits are a type of Weaver-spirit. Some of the most well-known are Pattern Spiders and Net-Spiders.

Overview

These spirits do the bulk of the Weaver's work in the Umbra. Where the Geomids are essentially mobile resources and the modern elementals an example of Gaian spirits touched by the Weaver's strands, the Weaver's spider-spirits are the worker ants of the Pattern Web, keeping order and expanding the Web's influence.

Although the arachnid motif is virtually ever-present among Weaver-spirits, it shouldn't be construed that these spirits are the actual Umbral representations of Earthly spiders. The Gaian Spider-spirits that represent the thousands of spider species are typically loners by nature, and have no particular interest in order or form beyond maintaining their own. Still, the Weaver's own actively pursue Spider's children for conversion - after all, they already have the form required. All that is required is that they learn their function.
