Whereas Lolth demands recognition of the superiority of the female drow, Vhaeraun stands for the equality of the males - fact is, his drow priests must be male, just as Lolth's may not. That may make a body think Vhaeraun's ready to stand up to Lolth and pull her legs off one by one. 'Course, as he's just a lesser power, Vhaeraun's afraid of the spider queen, and steers well clear of her machinations - at least openly. Instead, he tries to work against her in the shadows, to undermine her in silence. Meanwhile, from his realm on Carceri (Lolth's faithful'd call it a hiding place), Vhaeraun looks to unite the other drow powers against her. Thus, his priests move slowly gathering power for their deity's ends.

Vhaeraun is also the power of thievery and territory, and this is keenly demonstrated whenever a berk stumbles into his realm. Ellaniath is forever unknown to any planewalker, because the god wipes the memory of the plane from the minds of all those who visit it. Some say that's his ultimate form of theft - stealing a body's very essence.

Vhaeraun's proxies keep themselves dark, too. Since they work against Lolth, they don't want to draw attention to themselves or make their identities public. The only known proxy is Allinzir Gi'leera, a subtle schemer who can fade into the shadows, and isn't bothered by light. As for the rest of Vhaeraun's proxies, folks know only that they're exclusively male drow, and that they possess abilities related to true seeing, thievery, catlike grace, and striking creatures normally hit only by magical weapons.
