This is undoubtedly the greatest irony for the race of Serpent People; their ancestors actively chose to abandon their humanity in pursuit of immortality, greater strength, and more perfect forms, believing it to be their greatest impediment.
As a result, having rid themselves of human constraints, they did not hesitate to use the most ruthless methods and most venomous conspiracies against their own kind. This led to the collapse of their civilization at its peak, when the once enslaved and oppressed intelligent beings united to drive them into the most desolate corners, where they could only eke out a meager existence in remote places like forests, marshes, mountains, and deserts.
Their descendants even dedicated their entire lives to pursue the vestiges of human desire that remained.
