As a Shadowspawn, the Voidserpent is an alien entity from beyond the stars, composed of spirit essence and with only a tenuous grasp on the world. Their form, as such, is inconsistent; When most manifested, they appear as a massive serpent as if carved from obsidian, black scales with gleaming red eyes and massive fangs the size of a longsword. But when resting or phasing through matter, they became naught but smoky shadow on a whim.

​

An ancient Shadowspawn which traveled to the world long before the advent of the mortal races, along with the Primordial Nightmares, the Voidserpent did not take the fast track to growing in power that the Nightmares did, instead remaining isolated and growing in strength through honing their own abilities.

​

The Voidserpent witnessed the rise of mortal races with idle curiosity, content to reign within their own shadowy lair, which changed position from time to time. With time, it became a potent magi, using its gifts to explore the deep places of the world.

​

However, like many Resonant creatures, the great cataclysm of the Sariens deeply wounded the Voidserpent. It avoided the worst of it, as its essence was not tied with Primordial Sin- unlike the Nightmares, the Voidserpent had never fed on the lifeforce of mortals, and remained detached from that corruption. Even so, its sensitivity to the resonant energies of that event lead it to rest in deep slumber to recover.

​

Many centuries later, it awoke to a strange world with new civilizations and far less in the way of magical powers. Once again it sought to explore, until it discovered that it was not alone; The Abyss that had ravaged the world had begun to return.
