Another clue that the Temple of Elemental Evil was suppose to have a more Drow Lolth connection is I believe the bottom level of the temple was suppose to be in the shape of a spider with a human face, like Lolth is depicted in Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits.

@randomwizard I've read that Lolth was supposed to be the driving force behind the Temple and the main enemy. After the publication of the Giants-Drow-Queen series, however, he changed it. I have no doubt that the 4th level was designed that way on purpose, as her lair. I wish they'd release his notes and let us see what the original vision was.
@DM_Zeppelin @randomwizard I would rather hear (all) your own takes on it.
@Xenograg @randomwizard For sure. But, I also like to know the history and origins of things. 👍
