L25.355 Before the Seas, by Anonymous - Part 19

-

 Peace prevailed in the coming centuries, but soon the Serpents grew dissatisfied with a life of idyll - they forged weapons but none were used. Initially, to sate their lust for battle, they held gladitorial battles, but that was insufficient to remove them from ennui.

As the blood of the leaders of the previous generation of Serpentine leaders thinned, the pacts between the two factions and even within the factions dissolved. Several leaders of the new generation of Serpents quickly formed their own cliques around the fortresses they built.

Unless you are a madman yourself, or enjoy the feeling of spines piercing your flesh. Wastetreader Dykstra A cluster of 200ft tall tapered towers made of alabaster bricks topped with a bulbous cage that serve as belfries for manticores. The towers are connected to one another via 100ft wide cliffside tunnels open to one side, held up by rock-hewn pillars fixed with sconces. These partially open tunnels snake around the edges of the cliff, connecting the Greater East Wall to the north and the Lesser Wall to the south. At the foot of each of the towers are fortifications accessible through a thick iron gate, staffed with a platoon of undead soldiers. They will not attack unless provoked. The towers are all 6 levels high, and access to each level is allowed through a large spiral staircase t...
