The Serpent's Culling

Several hundred years ago, when Dunnywild was still a part of The Rivals Monarchy, there was a large massacre of Serpentkin in the kingdom. They were sought and systematically eradicated, due to the twin kings misconception that the Serpentkin were responsible for The Shatter. This massacre became known as The Serpents Culling, and was a major turning point in the peoples of The Rivals Monarchy, which eventually led to the succession of The Dunnywild Family from the Rivals Monarchy, and establishment of Dunnywild as a separate country of its own merit. During the War of Dunnywild Aggression, as it was known in the Monarchy, many Serpentkin emigrated to the soon-to-be country of Dunnywild. Due to this, there are very few, if any, Serpentkind who still reside in The Rivals Monarchy, despite the current acknowledgment of guilt by the Monarchy for their part in the crimes against Serpentkind. For unknown reasons, the Naga were spared this aggression, and there is deep seated resentment among many Serpentkin against their brethren Naga for this. It is unknown why the Twin Kings of that time did not lump Naga in with the Serpentkin during this racial purge.
