Yig

The Father of Serpents

Summary

Yig is the god of the Serpent People, the archetypal great ancestor, master of snakes and reptiles. He is a coldblooded creature, befitting his nature, but willing to grant power to those who serve him and his chosen ones. Followers of Yig often assume reptilian and serpentine characteristics and call on him for magic dealing with serpents, venom, and similar such things.

• Curse of Yig brings the wrath of the reptile kingdom down upon the victim. It summons forth children of the Father of Serpents, typically poisonous vipers.
• Fangs of Yig give the magician a poisonous touch. A single use may be enough to render an ordinary human completely paralyzed.
• Yig’s Inexorable Transformation turns a humanoid victim into a savage Serpent Person, over the course of three days.
