The 1980 1st-Edition AD&D module Queen of the Demonweb Pits describes the Demonweb Pits as an environment quite unlike the Prime Material Plane, stating that many magical spells and effects do not function as expected here. Lolth's palace is a giant iron stronghold stylized in the shape of a spider, that crawls across the web strands of the plane.

The layer is the home of evil drow deity Lolth, the Demon Queen of Spiders and many other deities of the Drow pantheon of gods.
