Description
A nomadic beast cult made up of humans in the Shining Plains began worshiping the god Varae during the Fifth Age of Calimshan (200 DR to 270 DR). A group of pureblood Yuan-ti from the Chultan Peninsula infiltrated the cult and spread its influence across Faerûn. One group of cultists migrated north in search of Ss'thar'tiss'ssun, only to be transformed en masse into ophidians when they unleashed an artifact created by House Orogoth and left behind by the yuan-ti. It is an aspect of slumbering Sseth.
