John Landis Grove (January 26, 1921 – June 16, 2003) was an American inventor, industrialist and philanthropist. He became known, primarily, for developing the hydraulic crane and access lift industries. Described as "the Babe Ruth of his industry," Grove was quoted as saying, "Don't allow wealth to stop your caring for others."
The horror multiplied as they watched the dark soldiers herd their steeds—enormous spiders as large as horses. The arachnids’ bulbous bodies were midnight-black, and coarse hair sprouted over every inch, including eight legs of deadly strength, strong enough to crush a tree trunk. The warriors used these hideous beasts to ride into battle, and in their army, as soldiers who spit poison and spun webs of death. These abominations were pets of the leader of this great, dark army that threatened to enslave the once peaceful, lush world of Orum.
She was a self-proclaimed queen, with the blackest of hearts and the coldest of gazes. Her fierce eyes were filled with the wild. Tall in stature, she possessed a commanding presence. What monsters she couldn’t find in this world, she summoned through sinister magic. A necromancer and invoker from the shadows of the abyss, she ripped her way into Orum a millennium ago with one purpose: rule this world or destroy it. Her name: Sinnia, the Spider Queen.
