Shrine of the Serpent Queen: A 7th Level Adventure for 5th Edition

When the gods were first brought into being, their divine essences latched on to mortal hosts. A few of these godly entities failed to find a suitable one, however, and instead crystallized into a solid form. These Shards of the Divine can grant great and terrible powers to those who hold them. One such shard, the Shard of the Deceiver has been found by a tribe of serpentfolk deep within the jungles of the Wildlands. This powerful artifact has caused the ancient shattered empire to come together in the hopes of reasserting their dominance over the region. Luckily, knowledge of the shard's discovery made its way to a powerful archmage who has put out a call for adventurers to undertake what he describes as an adventure to save the world itself.
