[color=9e0b0f][b]There Goes The Neighborhood(s)[/b] [/color] Near silently, Su'ulek gave birth to the armies and creches of the first Slith. The Slith would be naturally long lived, of varying sizes, though all had the bodies of a serpent. Slith were naturally gifted mages, had scales and leather skin that acted as protection against predators and weapons, although they were somewhat slow moving. These Slith, the serpentmen, should they wish to be virtuous and good, would be struggling against their own inherent avarice, Slith could, with effort, be virtuous creatures. The Slith gave birth, and their children would be raised communally. The Slith would come in various societies, eventually. These societies were the Prides, Cabals, Tribes/Clans (Almost interchangeable), later, the City States and finally, in the far future, nation states. Cabals are societies where the Slith would infiltrate other species such as a Human town, village or other community and rule it in secret. The Slith were naturally manipulative, and overly cerebral, not considering the welfare of others outside The Slith society. As a result, some Slith would prey on the smaller communities of other races, perhaps manipulating these smaller societies in their schemes for greater prestige among the Slith. Slith would come to value the subterranean underworld just as much, if not more than above ground, eventually, however. In one large system of caverns connecting the world above ground with the Underworld, in the center, there is the Holyground of Su'ulek, who is said to have breathed her wisdom into the stone and watery springs. [hider=Narrative Summary] Su'ulek gives birth to the Slith, Serpentmen. Serpentmen are not very dexterous or agile with their upper limbs, but they are naturally protected with scales and leather skin, and are natural born magic users. They are naturally very cunning and stick together as Slith. Lastly, Su'ulek creates a Holy Site for the Slith to visit on their way down to the Underworld. It should be noted the Slith, as Serpentmen, generally have sharp teeth, though they have enough to speak normally. Their lower bodies are serpent bodies but they have arms and hands, and are capable of wielding weapons. [/hider] [hider=Might Summary] 5 [b]MP start[/b] -3 [b]MP Create[/b] [b]The Slith[/b]. The Slith are like Robert E. Howard's Serpentmen. They all have strong, leathery skin and hardened scales covering most of their body and Human arms. Their lower bodies are a serpent's body's. Some Slith transform into other species, either with illusions or transformative magics to infiltrate other race's settlements. Slith are highly manipulative, pragmatic survivalists and natural born magic users. They tend towards being evil societies but they are capable of being kind, honorable, wise and virtuous. There are generally three/four societies of Slith. Prides, Tribes, Clans and eventually City States. The Slith have one moderately bad disadvantage. They have trouble practicing dexterity and agile motions with their Human like limbs. Unfortunately, Slith society is also very racist and "Slith Supremacist". -1 [b]MP Create Holy Site.[/b] The Holy Site is located between the overworld and the Underworld, in a vast network of caverns. This Holy Site is for the Slith to worship and commune with Su'ulek and to enjoy her benevolent gaze between the world and the underworld. The refreshing waters allow for people to enjoy the pilgrimage and rest, while there is a decently sized temple carved in the rock by Su'ulek's magical breath. This holy site is in a large natural system of caverns and a single dragon head idol can be seen in the center, where the Slith will build it. [b]Ending: 1MP[/b] [/hider]
