Serpent

This page is about the class. For other uses, please see Serpents (disambiguation).

The Serpent class was one of the original classes available to adventurers at the beginning of the Modern Age, and its members have the skills of Subterfuge, Venom, and Hypnosis. Like Monk- and Magi-classed adventurers, Serpents did not have a single organisation at their disposal during the Era of Guilds, but several.

Some of the more notable Serpents in Achaea's history include:

• Loki and Ekanel, ancestors of modern-day Serpents.
• Lucius Errikale, Duke of Imperial Seleucar and a key figure in the Wars of Succession.
• Noxalar, purveyor of venoms in the Modern Age.
• Caprian Zyle, a messenger during the Wars of Succession.
• Syrax, a Seleucarian warrior in the War of the Deeps.

Notable Serpent organisations, past and present, include:

• the Coiled Cobra Cult
• the Cult of the Serpent Lords
• the Dawnstriders
• the Naga
• the Shadowsnakes
