In the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [[fantasy]] [[role-playing game]], the '''Demonweb Pits''' is an [[alignment (role-playing games)|chaotic evil-aligned]] [[plane (Dungeons & Dragons)|plane of existence]]. In the standard 2nd edition-Edition ''Dungeons & Dragons'' ''(D&D)'' cosmology it exists as the sixty-sixth layer of the [[Abyss (plane)|Abyss]], however in the 3rd edition-Edition it is now a plane separate from the Abyss, follwing the events of The War of the Spider Queen. Thus it is also one of a number of [[Outer Plane]]s that form part of the cosmology used in the 3rd-Edition ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' campaign setting.<ref>{{cite book | author=Baker, Richard; Wyatt J. | year=2004 | title=Player's Guide To Faerûn| chapter= | editor= | others= | pages=149-150 | publisher=Wizards of the Coast | id=ISBN 0786931345| url= | authorlink= }}</ref>

The plane is the home of evil [[drow]] deity [[Lolth]], the Demon Queen of Spiders and many other deities of the drow pantheon of gods. The plane resembles a giant spiderweb across space, formed from strands of interwoven planar matter. Lolth's palace is a giant iron stronghold stylized in the shape of a [[spider]], that crawls across the web strands of the plane.
