The Shedding

The Shedding was a religious event observed by devout followers of Sseth, the World Serpent.
==Activities==
The Shedding was the most sacred holy event for the Ssethsar, or the followers of Sseth. This event occurred in Alturiak immediately following the month-long hibernation called the Sagacious Slumber. The Ssethsar would shed their snake skin, or ritually remove their clerical garb if they were not reptilian, during a ritual involving the sacrifice of at least one living sentient being. The sacrifice was usually followed by a burst of activity the Ssethsar used to extend their powers.
