In
Gloranthan mythology, the
Spider Goddess.
Aranea is associated with the
Beast,
Darkness, and
Fate Runes. The latter is probably due to her involvement with
Arachne Solara when she bundled up
the chaos-ravaged, crumbling bits of the universe in a
web, and birthed Time. The Fate association is not
spurious: it has specific
game-mechanical effects on cultists'
invocation of
Divine Intervention. Aranea is the
daughter of
Kropa,
Mother of Arthropods.
