The Many-Eyed Serpents; Guardians of the Contracts

The Many-Eyed Serpents are numbered two- the Ouroboros divided: One for the Land, and one for the Spirit; One for He and one for She; two halves of the whole. Many-Eyed Watchers omnipotent; guardians whose task is to ensure that the contracts made are upheld- as the contract demands both wrists bound and bared, with their fangs poised to break skin at the slightest loss or violation; tightly coiled Masters of the Contract of Faith and Land- judges and executioners of the faith, fangs poised against tender skin as reminders.

One is tied to the Great Queen and representing the Contract of Faith:
Pit Viper; Viperidae ⇾ Crotalinae ⇾ Agkistrodon ⇾ Piscivorus.

Common names include Cottonmouth, Water Viper, White-Mouth Moccasin, Water Moccasin, Swamp Moccasin, Black Moccasin, and Gapper; two of the most common names, Cottonmouth and White-Mouth Moccasin, refer to the stark white interior lining of the species' mouth. Another uncommon name, Gapper, refers to the species' threat display in which it will stand its ground and open its mouth agape at an intruder to expose this lining.

As one of only three groups of venomous species of snakes native to Oklahoma, the Cottonmouth Viper (Agkistrodon Piscivorus) has been chosen to represent the Contract of Faith due to its natural semiaquatic nature and high preference for medium to shallow, sluggish to still wetland areas of medium temperature- connecting it firmly to the Wellspring Eternal.

The other is tied to the Unknown King and representing the Contract of the Land:
Pit Viper; Viperidae ⇾ Crotalinae ⇾ Agkistrodon ⇾ Laticinctus.

Common names include the Broad-Banded Copperhead, Texas Copperhead, Copperhead Moccasin, Dry-Land Moccasin, Highland Moccasin, Rattlesnake Pilot, Red Eye, Thunder Snake, and simply Copperhead; common names such as the Copperhead Moccasin, Dry-Land Moccasin, and Highland Moccasin in particular are references to it being a relative of the Cottonmouth (also called the Water Moccasin; above).

As one of only three groups of venomous species of snakes native to Oklahoma, the Copperhead Viper (Agkistrodon Laticinctus) has been chosen to represent the Contract of Land due to its close relation to the Cottonmouth Viper while maintaining a strictly terrestrial and non aquatic nature- but also due to its preferences for secluded wooded habitats away from human occupation.
