Description
A highly intelligent race with a knowledge of advanced magic and science, the serpentfolk once had a great empire, but it fell before modern races had even evolved. Serpentfolk are about the size of an average human, though because of their slim and muscular form, they typically seem to stand slightly taller.
Serpentfolk favour the use of carefully crafted magic items and have almost limitless access to magic. They can naturally create an illusion to resemble a particular human and often live within human society unnoticed.
