The Cloaked Serpent

Alignment: Chaotic Evil • Domains: Trickery, Blood
The avatar of grudgery, treachery and infidelity. The Wanderer in shadow and creator of snakes and serpent-kin, the Cloaked Serpent is the evil god of poisons, assassins, and darkness. Much of ancient serpent-kin worships him over all other deities, dragging screaming offerings to their temples in his honor. Most of the Cloaked Serpent’s worshippers were annihilated by the Dragonborn, and those exist today are not organized or civilized, but rather nomadic in nature. The Cloaked Serpent loathes the Lawbearer and the Platinum Dragon, for he despises life, order, and love above all things. His surviving worshipers relish in using poison and fire to undermine civilization and consume nature, hoping to throw the gods into fury and consequently cast Aros into chaos. Many forgotten temples were once built to the Cloaked Serpent, and within these chambers you would find his image engraved within much of the architecture. A human body with a half-dozen arms that houses a gargantuan serpent head, fanged and frilled in aggression. Strands of thick, dark hair that sprout from the scaled body swirl around to form layers of shadow, obscuring the entire form of the entity.
Commandments of the Cloaked Serpent
• Keep your acts obfuscated and secret. The night is your greatest ally.
• Strike quickly and without reason. Blind the target with their own confusion.
• Kill slowly. Agonizingly. Or worse, make them enjoy it.
