The Serpent recognizes her order by its ancient name, the Valka. What little information about the Serpent is known is attributed to Juno, a mender of great mental powers, who communicates with it while in a dream-world. However, the Serpent does not show any open hostility and departs from that scene. Even Bellower, the Immortal Sundr, is disturbed and recoils before it. Its first appearance is during the Dredge siege of the the Varl stronghold of Einartoft, where it strikes terror in the hearts of men, Varl and Dredge alike. Its movement in the physical-world causes earthquakes that break mountains, empties lakes and destroys cities.

The Serpent is encountered in Chapters 4 and 5 of the first part of The Banner Saga. The Serpent is a mysterious being of immense size.
