History
Cobra, a first-generation adventurers of Achaea born Valnuary 4, 156 AF, was a serpent near the early years of the Modern Age. In the year 196 AF, he and his companions, the Shadow Cabal, separated from the Serpentlords guild to focus on the study of a set of tomes. Discovered housed in a mystical ship on the bottom of a remote lake, the tomes contained notes from years of experiements by the original serpents, Loki and Ekanel, into what they called the "Mastery of the Shadows". With the aide of Lady Eris and her occult scholars, the knowledge was eventually condensed into the Shadow Codex, the sentient collection of ancient serpentine lore which guides the study of the Shadows to this day.
