Draft:Two Worlds:Serpents

Serpents are tough snake-like creatures that often dual-wield weapons.

The Serpent race lives on a peninsula to the southwest of Cathalon. These snakelike beings are mistrusted by all the other races – and this feeling was never quite laid to rest, even during the Great War, when the Serpents actually fought the same foe as the Elves, the Dwarves and the Humans. However, they could never bring themselves to form an alliance with these other races and that’s why they fought their own battles against the Orcs and Aziraal. The Serpents weren’t completely to blame for this though... it was the Elves who weren’t prepared to even contemplate an alliance with the Serpents - simply because they hated them. A large part of the Serpents’ former territory was lost to the ocean during the devastating war. Today, Ashos is the Serpents’ most important town. It lies on the peninsula in the river Gon delta and is rumoured to have secret connections to the sunken Serpent lands. In the Temple District of Ashos, the Serpents mainly worship Yatholen, the god of water and storms. Ashos is a bustling port, with both sea and river harbours. This makes it an important trading centre for merchandise of all kinds. The Serpents themselves are only to be found in the tightly-guarded Temple District. The Temple Guard is extremely mistrustful, guarding the temple entrance with increased vigilance in these troubled times.
