Serpent Acolyte monster 152

newmonster    "Serpent Acolyte"
descr         "During the early days of the Empire every town had its own local Serpent Cult.  However, through the rise of a very charismatic Serpent Priest, who according to some genealogists was a younger brother to the Emperor Squameus IV, one of the cults came to rise into sole prominence.  At this point the cult was also embraced by the Emperor, who outlawed all other snake cults.  Today the Great Snake seems to be sleeping and most people consider the cult to be just an archaic remnant of the Old Empire.  However, according to some legal documents they can still claim to be the official cult of the Empire.  In the resolution of a recent lawsuit initiated by the Solar Cult, it was concluded that rather than being the sole official Imperial Cult, it is the official Serpent Cult of the Empire, which allows any other types of cult to be freely established.  Being a rather archaic cult, the Serpent Cult chooses its acolytes from among a small group of families whenever a child is born carrying the traditional Sign of the Serpent – flaky skin, split tongue or parietal eyes."
