Serpent Lord

Neither Good nor evil, the Serpent Lords protect their forest realm from whatever threat that might enter it.  Be it a marauding army of mercenaries, raging flame demon, dark sorcery, or a band of looters seeking steal their precious metal and relics of a long lost era; these sturdy people will stop at nothing to see that the threat is eliminated, by ancient magic rituals led by serpent shamans, a poisoned bite to the throat or a pronged spear to the chest.
