The '''Viper's Tail''' is the icon of the [[Cult of the Serpent Lords|Serpent Lords]] of [[Hashan]]. The true icon can be found at the centre of Torrid Wastes on the Northern [[Nishnatoba]] Deadlands.
Embanked in the golden sands of the Torrid Wastes of [[Nishnatoba]], the '''[[Icon]] of the Viper's Tail''' belonging to the [[Cult of the Serpent Lords]] stands towering overhead. An immense arrow crafted to resemble a viper with an onyx arrowhead clenched between its jaws, the icon resonates with the divine thunder of being nocked and shot in the war for Creation. The obsidian scales blanketing the serpent's body shimmer with an inbourne life, forming its large black and scarlet surface. A prominent ridge of scales rest above the great golden orbs of the serpent's eyes, reflecting the thrumming emerald-green fire that forms the slits of its pupil.
 
The multifaceted, diamond-shaped surfaces of an uncountable number of delicately overlapping obsidian scales scintillate blood red and pitch black over the surface of this immense arrow, as whorls of light flare and smoulder erratically from within. Climbing approximately twenty feet into the air, the  
smoothly-tapered cylindrical spike is clearly crafted for flight and accuracy in tremendous proportions. Half-buried beneath a great swell of golden sand, a wickedly barbed, razor-sharp onyx arrowhead is grasped firmly between the wedge-shaped expanse of the obsidian viper's jaws. Narrow, elliptical blades of emerald-green fire pulse rhythmically in the serpent's lidless eyes, each one framed in an intricate, eyelash-like ridge of raised and separated scales. Writhing sinuously, the distant nock of the great arrow snaps and contracts in the open air, while voluminous folds of darkness and deep shadow revolve and enshroud its length.

Embanked in the golden sands of the Torrid Wastes of Nishnatoba, the Icon of the Viper's Tail belonging to the Cult of the Serpent Lords stands towering overhead. An immense arrow crafted to resemble a viper with an onyx arrowhead clenched between its jaws, the icon resonates with the divine thunder of being nocked and shot in the war for Creation. The obsidian scales blanketing the serpent's body shimmer with an inbourne life, forming its large black and scarlet surface. A prominent ridge of scales rest above the great golden orbs of the serpent's eyes, reflecting the thrumming emerald-green fire that forms the slits of its pupil.
