Lore: The Ashbind Serpent is a massive, charred creature that slithers through the ruins of the dead. Its scales are ash-gray and cracked, as though scorched by ancient fires, and it leaves a trail of dust and forgotten rituals behind it.

It coils itself around the remains of sacred places and feeds on the faded remnants of souls who once walked the Spiral. Some say it was once a guardian of the lost, now reduced to an eternal, ravenous hunger for what no longer remembers its own life.
