The Cloaked Serpent

Credit: Critical Role

A wanderer in the shadows and the creator of snakes and serpentkin, the Cloaked Serpent is the evil god of poisons, assassins, and darkness. The ancient serpentkin worship him over all other deities, dragging screaming offerings to their temples in his honor. Most of the Cloaked Serpent’s worshipers were annihilated by heroes as Corena rebuilt after the Dark Age that resulted when the Starchildren left Corena., Those that weren’t are either suspended in self-induced stasis or hunted for sport by the servants of the Spider Queen and the Crawling King. But perhaps the Cloaked Serpent is merely biding his time, waiting for the proper moment to unleash his hidden armies upon the world once more.
Depiction: Many forgotten temples were once built to worship the Cloaked Serpent, and his image was embedded within much of their architecture. He possesses a humanoid body with six arms and a fanged, serpentine head adorned with a threatening hood. Strands of thick, dark hair sprout from his scaled body, obscuring his form in layers of swirling shadow.
Commandments of the Cloaked Serpent:

1. Keep your acts obfuscated and secret. The night is your greatest ally.
2. Strike quickly and without reason. Blind the target with their own confusion.
3. Kill slowly. Agonizingly. Or worse, make them enjoy it.

Province: Assassins, Poison, Snake
Domains: Many of the Cloaked Serpent’s clerics are granted powers of Nature or Trickery.
