//<sub>Chapter 8 – [[start#completed chapters|return to list]]</sub>//

Larsa is again on top of the owe list, with yet another new particular strength! What a surprise.

The Heart of the Serpent. Formerly the religious leader of a slave cult worshiping it, briefly an advisor to [[Rise of the Serpent#Queen Gemegishkirihallat|the queen]] who brought it down to earth. She has the mark of the Serpent: a necklace of snake scales around her neck, ambiguously a part of her skin, shining with physical colors.
