ASAATTH

T HE ASAATTHI ARE AN ANCIENT RACE OF SERPENTINE , humanoid

arcane warriors. It is said that their empire once extended across

virtually the entire continent of Ghelspad. Now their settlements

are found primarily in the region stretching from the swamps of

Kan Thet to the vast Ukrudan Desert. Scattered ruins elsewhere

hint at the extent of their ancient domains, but only isolated clans

remain of the asaatthi themselves.

Clans and heritage are all-important to the asaatthi, with famous

ancestral warriors and wizards revered as saints. Asaatthi are

experts in warfare both magical and mundane. They generally pre-

fer guerilla-style tactics due to their small numbers, but they are

comfortable coordinating large-scale assaults as well (often direct-

ing their slaves against other humanoids). Given the choice,

asaatthi will lay traps and ambush opponents, but they are not

likely to back down from a direct confrontation; even so, they are

far from stupid and all too aware of their own mortality. They will

retreat and live to fight again if the battle turns against them and

the opportunity presents itself.

Despite their delicate appearance, asaatthi are strong, fast, and

resilient. They prefer loose robes and sashes and their unique light

armor, known as “serpentmail,” so that they may have free range

of movement, especially for their long, serrated tails. Asaatthi also

tend to wear a great deal of jewelry. Like the snakes from which

they were formed, they are able to sense nearby creatures by scent,

using their forked tongues, rather than by sight.

A SAATTHI L ORE

The following information about asaatthi can be obtained with a

successful Nature check.

DC 15: The asaatthi’s slow decline resulted in two main cultures:

swamp-dwelling and desert-dwelling asaatthi. The former live in

their ancestors’ decaying cities and venture forth occasionally to

strike at nearby humanoid settlements; the latter are semi-nomadic,

visiting hereditary ruins and other secret locations while they hunt

down racial enemies.

All asaatthi retain slaves, though not on the massive scale of

ancient times. Other reptilian races such as lizardfolk and

troglodytes serve as the primary labor force.

DC 20: A combination of factors led to the eventual fragmenta-

tion of Asaii Tthul, the ancient asaatth empire. The serpentfolk

were masters at crafting magical items that they used to dominate

other races and to further the agenda of their maker, Mormo the

Serpentmother; individually, though, the asaatthi focused almost

exclusively on studying and practicing their arcane magics, leaving

the administration of their empire to subjugated races. As well,

other titanspawn came to see the asaatthi as anathema due to their

willingness to delve into dangerous wizardry; the asaatthi eventually

indulged in internecine conflicts with these other titan races, weak-

ening their power further.

DC 25: Asaatthi are tireless in their search for any item, knowl-

edge, or stratagem that might restore them to dominance. Individual

researchers and war bands can be glimpsed in the furthest reaches of

Ghelspad and even, some have reported, on other continents.

DC 30: Asaatthi runners are reputed to have ventured into the

Hornsaw Forest to deliver new discoveries to a hidden conclave of

asaatthi wizards, who are said to be hard at work trying to raise the

Mother of Serpents.
