Loki the Deceiver is almost never worshipped openly within the borders of Estian civilization. Acolytes of Loki usually keep their beliefs a secret, even from others who might share the same faith. The one exception to this are the Drow elves of the Underdark, whom openly worship Loki as the Spider Prince, ever plotting to advance the standing of their houses.
