Serpent Generals

The Serpent Generals are five venerated soldiers of Aht Urhgan's Imperial Armed Forces assigned personally by Empress Nashmeira II with the protection of Al Zahbi. Each Serpent General represents one of the Imperial symbols, a serpent aligned with an element. The Hall of Binding which houses the Astral Candescence can only be unsealed using the mirrors they carry.

Each Serpent General offers a unique support effect buff as you fight by their side in Besieged. See Serpent Generals Quests for unlocking each.
