The House of the Serpents keeps the cool, ambitious side of the wizard academy, and it lives below the waterline. Acolytes in emerald green and silver robes, a silver serpent crest on every robe, cast spells across a black-marble dueling hall, block curses with shields of light in the lakeside dungeon corridor, and read glowing spell books in a common room lit green through the lake water. In the shadowed potions vault their cauldrons pour colored smoke; in the ancient crypt beneath the castle they send books and candles drifting through the dark. A guardian serpent of gold light coils beside them on the castle bridge, and from the north tower roof a serpent of lightning writhes through the storm clouds. Some carry lanterns into the enchanted forest or the thorned night garden. Created by Jeff Dupler, using the latest in AI technology.
