Zerakai Initiate

“	I have no room for arrogance—my blade shall make room for more glory!	”
—Zelandra, Salomon invoker/ Zerakai ambassador

Prerequisite: Salomon 

Cast down from the ancestral charts of the Slithering One's rule-- vengeful killers and dutiful defenders. To those who would stand in your way, you think of them as nothing more than just sacrifices to the serpent deity—the one who had made slith-zerakai. The Slithering One also created the first salomon—spawned from the blood of a zerakai exarch. From this blood, the new race took over part of the lands furthest from the Slithering One’s reaches. Some have cultivated a mentality to keep the Slithering One’s goals and ideals intact. These initiates are the direct descendants of the zerakai bonds, and it is their devotion that sets them apart from the others.

As an initiate, you protect those whom you favor and you slay those who would dare challenge the Slithering One’s ultimate goals.
