execpt the people who they are steal from have been making D&D for forever, writing the FR books since the 1990's, and the fact that they still sell the stuff, lore included, lore which almost certainly mirrors Elise's.

Also, make distinctions between conceptual ideas and things which are accepted to be true.(yeah, this is shitty phrasing) But the examples provided are pretty much quantified by something, whereas the people who came up with the concept of driders and Lolth, dark elf priestess/fanatics, are dealing with fantasitical matter which is their intellectual property, cuz they were the first people to get high, brainstorm it, write out the original lore, and sell it.

Also, if you simply read a book or two about forgotten realms, you will be able to instantly draw parralels between the Elise and Lolth and associated materials

This is the basis of her spider/humanoid nature

This is the basis of the huge spider, but less about spideryness and more about intrigue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolth

Shadow isles in of itself is original, but the cave is very much like portions of the underdark, where the cult of Lolth holds sway

The philosophy with which she kills people is just like spiders, but for the record its just like what the dark elves(primary worshippers of Lolth) do to each other.

TL;DR: RIOT GET A FUCKING LORE DEPARTMENT
