A serpent of vibrant colors lived in the heart of Veridora forests, a realm bathed in perpetual twilight. This serpent, known to the land as the Luminouscoil, lived peacefully in their subterranean nests.
One fateful day, a den burrowed deeper into Veridora’s crust further than ever before. There they unearthed a hidden treasure—a meteorite radiating primordial energy that had helped form the planet. The enigmatic rock pulsating with an otherworldly radiation.
As the Luminouscoil serpents drew near, they absorbed more and more of the meteorite's undiluted energy, and a powerful transformation began. Their once vibrant scales darkened and took on the shades of twilight, absorbing and refracting light in strange and mesmerizing patterns. Once filled with curiosity, their eyes now glimmered with an eerie luminescence. The serpents, now shadowy and mysterious, changed in more ways than appearance.
Influenced by the meteorite's energy, the Shadowclaw became obsessed with power and dominance over Veridora's land. It developed the forbidden knowledge, discovering the dark arts of manipulation and deceit. One of the larger creatures who had dared to crawl across the face of the meteorite, Nyxaris, emerged as the group’s leader, its newfound power and charisma drawing the others under its sway.

The Luminouscoil serpents, now transformed into shadowy beings, followed Nyxaris into this new era of darkness, their innocence lost to the allure of power and the enigma of the meteorite's radiation.
