Magna Serpaensism is the organized, and concerted effort of the Children of Magnus to formally construct a church based upon worship of the Great Serpaent, who in ancient times imbued the nobility of realms throughout Atamara and the world, charging them with sacred trusts of lands such that they might protect and defend against the unholy barbarians who had fallen under the sway of the treacherous Calamar, and his cohort.

The Great Serpaent and the Lesser Gods

The Great Serpaent Magnus, is the all-powerful serpaent of the deep, who in the earliest of days hallowed the waters of the Ash Sea with his presence, and blessed the lands which ring its basin. A guide and advisor to some, and feared lord of the world to others he knows no bounds. From time to time he has vested various entities, and demi-gods with his power.
