Ofydiks

Serpent Folk

by

Claudeana Sepenhelm

Called into existence by Reīnstīel, these serpentine humanoids are often scaled with snake-like lower bodies or fully humanoid forms covered in patterned scales.

Their culture places immense value on personal transformation. Ofydiks periodically shed their scales in elaborate ceremonies, each shedding marking passage through life stages with more clarity than any arbitrary age designation. With lifespans of 90-120 years, Ofydiks engage in scholarly exchanges with Sylvans who respect their ancient knowledge, maintain cautious distance from Lapynyks who instinctively fear them, and forge trading partnerships with Ārdans brave enough to establish contact.
