The Serpent Tower



I decided to come back to brewing by taking a shot at the new Sultai commander! Wow, this deck got out of hand FAST. It was one thing when the tokens hit and you'd just get a 0/0 that died immediately, but since they announced that copied tokens come in with the counters as well, this deck just took right off. The tower is 105' tall, 40'x40' wide. Atop the tower, facing north and south, are two large serpent head carvings hanging over the rooftop, flames burning in the mouths. In the center is a 20' tall carving of Set painted in gold and scarlet that gleams in the son. The interior walls are of 2' thick stone.

BBC's tense new crime drama The Serpent centres on the heinous crimes of an elusive international serial killer, his romantic relationship with a long-time accomplice, and the man who helped bring him to justice. But what else is there to know about this dramatic tale, and is The Serpent based on a true story?

Starring Tahar Rahim and Jenna Coleman, the BBC drama is based on the true story of the French-Vietnamese serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who acquired the nickname The Serpent due to his ability to evade the authorities. Sobhraj is thought to have murdered at least 12 people in south-east Asia throughout the 1970s, the majority of whom were young backpackers. He was eventually caught in 1976 and jailed for 12 years. However, after managing to escape from prison a decade later, Sobhraj was again jailed and sentenced to a further 10 years behind bars.

  • Serpent Tower is located on Serpent Island. Wizards come here during the quest Cor Serpentis, to find the Celestial Serpent and get her to bless the rekindled Starstuff. It became the prison of the Celestial Serpent after the Shadow Queen destroyed the Radiant Alcazar.
  • Ahead of BBC drama The Serpent airing on BBC One on New Year's Day, Nige Tassell reveals the story of the brazen career criminal who graduated from petty theft to cold-blooded murder. Charles Sobhraj was once asked what makes someone a murderer.

In 1997, he was released and went on to cash in on his criminal status, giving paid interviews to journalists at major publications. Six years later, Sobhraj travelled to Nepal — a country in which he could be arrested. When authorities were notified of his whereabouts, he was eventually caught and sentenced to life imprisonment in a Nepalese jail, where he still resides to this day.
