Don't forget that Minthara was there when Viconia DeVir was cast out of the Underdark. Often times mothers would bring their children to witness rituals and ceremonies so they'd learn about the duties and the occasions that they themselves would take part in later - and more importantly. The effects of what would happen if they failed, and watching what Viconia went through left an impression on Minthara and locked in her loyalty to Lolth tighter than ever.
