Descendants of Dendar
Introductory sentence of Descendants of Dendar.
Description
History
Beyond the coast of the Frayll Wildlands there are many island masses, some are home to pirates or beast and some would hide ancient civilisations from the world.
One of these islands is home to the Descendants of Dendar, who are rumoured to be lead by an ancient Yuan-Ti Abomination by the name Ydriss. It is said that Ydriss was a middle caste Malison who discovered a relic of power which allowed her to ritually enhance herself closer to her chosen gods image and became an Abomination. The other higher caste members could tell that if this was allowed to continue then they would have to share their power with those they perceived as their lessers. They banished Ydriss and her associated followers, who fled across the seas and wound up on a unusually tropical island among the Frayll Wildlands. Ydriss settled on this island to continue her covens worship of Dendar, the Night Serpent. The coven lives in relative peace on the island which the rough surrounding seas bless with shipwrecked souls with which they can enslave and grow their Broodguards.
This coven dedicate their lives to their god by sowing fear among the trade and market ways of of the local continents, but being careful to hide their existence and their influence from their neighbouring islands and the coastal settlements of the Frayll Wildlands. But as with all caste based societies there are outliers, small numbers of Yuan-Ti, typically Pureblood and slaves packs dotted around the island.

Zulok, Selish and Gomluo - Holy Guardians
Ydriss' trusted champions, Zulok, Selish and Gomlou are a rare triplet breeding of Holy Guardians, they have been with Ydriss for as long as they can remember. They are all holy guardians, a rare breed specifically bred as temple guards and body guards for the highest echelons. Two have a serpentine tail in place of legs, however they all possess a serpent-like head and a forked tongue each. Each has their own proficiencies and preferred type of combat, Zulok with his maul, Selish with his bow and Gomluo with their dabbling with magic and staves.
Shade - Mind Whisperer
Shade is the sole mind whisperer in the coven, in his true form he is a mix of light and dark grey with a humanoid body and a snakelike head. Choosing to manipulate his targets and weave paths together to get his way rather than face opponents directly whilst remaining in the shadows of the guild halls and market places he travels with expert illusion.
