There was no doubt that Lolth's initial awakening and call had sent shockwaves through the entire Drow race and even the Underdark.
First, it shattered the previous rumors that the Spider Queen had fallen.
Second, the souls of believers that had been wandering the Outer Planes and even the Astral Plane had finally begun following that rift back into their goddess's realm.

Of course, falling into Lolth's hands was not much better. The unfortunate souls who had betrayed her and been transformed into Driders were the best proof of that. But at least it was marginally better than falling into the hands of Demons.

But this was not a simple foreign invasion. It was an attack from both within and without.
