The Island of Serpents

The Island of Serpents is one of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones.

History
As the name suggests, the Isle is home to a wide variety of snakes and reptilian life. It is said to be one of the few places outside of Sothoryos where basilisks are said to roam in great numbers.

Most of the species catalogued on the island were done so by maesters after specimens are brought to the Citadel in Oldtown in hope of monetary reward.


 * Golden Lanceheads - Bright yellow speckled with white, grey or black markings. Their poison paralyses the lungs, causing the target to stop breathing.
 * Red Devils - Crimson and ochre in colour. Contact with their poison results in blood weeping from the body's pores, before death from loss of fluids.
 * Lightning Lords - Usually a purple or blue, with a jagged yellow marking on their back. They make victims convulse in pain before they die.
 * Crimson Imps - Often no larger than the length of a man's finger, this tiny species has a toxin that mimics the effects of the Stranger, closing the throat of its victim.
 * Giant Water Snake - This dull coloured species is found within bodies of water, and constricts its victim with each inhalation, until they unable to breath. It then consumes its prize whole.
