| - Paragon of House Zahir, and admired by those nobles, the Nightslider is traditionally associated with stealth, cunning, and its fabulously potent venom. Thankfully, within Fastheld (save in Zahir lands, where the House considers them protected), the Nightslider is very rare, thriving almost wholly in the Hedgheim moors and a few isolated spots along the Fastheld River. It is far more common in the Wildlands, especially in swampy, marshy areas like the Snake Tangle and along the Jadesnake.

| - Paragon of House Zahir, and admired by those nobles, the Nightslider is traditionally associated with stealth, cunning, and its fabulously potent venom. Thankfully, within Fastheld (save in Zahir lands, where the House considers them protected), the Nightslider is very rare, thriving almost wholly in the Hedgheim moors and a few isolated spots along the Fastheld River. It is far more common in the Wildlands, especially in swampy, marshy areas like the Snake Tangle and along the Jadesnake. Nocturnal, black-scaled, and stealthy, Nightsliders are often associated with death, assassination, and striking from concealment. It is said that calling a man a 'Nightslider' implies that he is dangerous, cunning, and vicious - and may or may not be an insult, depending on context. The snake is usually killed when found, as a dangerous threat, though is occasionally hunted for its venom. Nightslider meat is not dangerous, with an interestingly coppery flavor, and eating it is considered a mark of bravery and virility.
