Feathered Serpent

The Feathered Serpent is native to Aquore's thick jungles. Though Talorians once revered her as sacred symbol of good luck, her reputation was tarnished in the aftermath of the God's War. Because she bore attributes of both the wind and fire gods, public opinion quickly turned negative, and the Feathered Serpent became an omen of ill luck and impurity. This prejudice has thrived into modern day, and all across Aquore the rare, beautiful serpent is chased from villages or even killed by more superstitious individuals. Some Talorians believe that touching a Feathered Serpent with bare skin or hoof will imbue three years of bad luck. Whether they believe that is true or not, almost all Talorians accept the idea that the animal is impure, and one should bathe after handling it, as swiftly as possible.
Yet despite her reputation, there exist Talorians willing to give the Serpent the benefit of a doubt, or who use her as a symbol of rebellion and tolerance. The one place she thrives as a companion are the Isles of the Dead, where ne'er-do-wells find kinship in her misunderstood status and loyal nature.
