About Us
Created in December of 2021, The Serpent's Den was created by Zariasona and Caidathas Emberspirit. Caidathas wanted to create the tavern as a way to fill a gap of time he had on his hands. Zariasona, being the supportive wife, jumped on board to help make his dreams a reality. After his passing that following summer, she took on the burden alone to keep his memory alive.Today, She runs the tavern with her husband Lord Teremath Blacksorrow and together they have evolved the tavern to what it is today.

Meet The Staff
Owners
Zariasona Blacksorrow opened up the tavern with her late husband, Caidathas Flarefate. Even after his passing, Zariasona insisted on continuing his legacy of the tavern.
To this date, everything that once was for the tavern still holds today. She invites the chaos as it gives her a piece of her former husband to cherish.When Teremath Blacksorrow met Zariasona, he was intrigued by her tavern and it's operations. With how close the two have become, it's no surprise he was soon named a co-owner alongside her.
He has no issues in allowing the chaos of the tavern to continue, seeing as how without her former husband, he wouldn't be blessed to run it with her today.
Managers
Larza Nightfang-Stormflower had always been security for the tavern since it's opening. Starting out as a dedicated member of security, it was only a matter of time before she was promoted to manager of the tavern.
On top of working for the tavern, she has held positions such as as the Chairman for the Cultural Affairs Committee for the Kingdom of Stormwind. Currently, she is an ambassador for Darnassus, and also a mother of two.
Lytholas Grimheart is near and dear to Zariasona. As the uncle to her, he helps to ensure that the tavern is operating as it should be.
He is proud of his niece's accomplishments and helps where he can with daily operations and menu creation.
He is just as proud of the tavern's success as anyone else.
