The Veiled Serpents

Written by Daemixis

In the heart of Westcrown, where the shadows are deepest and the whispers of the night carry the weight of secrets, the Veiled Serpents weave their deadly web. Founded in 4610 AR, this guild of assassins has become synonymous with fear and precision. Their motto, “In Shadows, We Strike,” is not merely a slogan but a creed by which they live and die. The Serpents, as they are known, are masters of disguise and poison, able to blend into any environment and strike with lethal efficiency. Their presence is felt but rarely seen, a silent testament to their unparalleled skills. Unlike many such organizations, the Veiled Serpents are a sorority, a sisterhood bound by shared purpose and unyielding loyalty.
The Veiled Serpents are more than just a guild; they are a sorority bound by a strict code of conduct and an unyielding loyalty to their leader, the Shadow Serpent. Within their ranks, each member is trained to perfection, their abilities honed through rigorous training and countless missions. The guild’s alternative names, the Silent Fangs and the Poisoned Veil, reflect their dual expertise in stealth and toxins. Every Serpent carries the guild’s emblem, a black serpent’s fang carved from obsidian and etched with ancient elvish runes, a symbol of their deadly heritage and unwavering commitment. Their calling card, left at the scene of every assassination, is this very fang, placed with meticulous care to signify the lethal touch of the Veiled Serpents.
Operating from the shadows, the Veiled Serpents have woven themselves into the very fabric of Westcrown’s underworld. Their influence extends far beyond the city’s decaying grandeur, reaching into the highest echelons of power and the darkest corners of society. Contracts are taken for the highest bidder, and their reputation ensures that their services are always in demand. Yet, despite their fearsome reputation, the Serpents maintain a strict code of secrecy, their true identities known only to a select few. In the silent, deadly world they command, the Veiled Serpents are both the unseen hand of death and the guardians of their own dark legacy.
