BE (p. 79) leaves this subject purposely open. quote:
>Has the Serpent made contact with some divine powers other than those
previously known to Cerilia? Has he madesome unholy >bargain with them? ...
how can logic explain the spells that the Sons of the Serpent, the Serpent`s
worshipers, are able to cast? If the >Serpent himself is not divine, what
power fuels their magic? <
Well, I can think of a number of possible explanations:

2. A surviving part of Azrai (residual essence or whatever) supplies the
spells. Perhaps that`s a first step on the way towards Azrai`s return to
godhood and to Cerilia.
3. Another god of the Cerilian pantheon amuses himself by granting divine
powers to the Sons of the Serpent. That seems to be the most boring
solution, but I think Belinik would fit the bill nicely. He is chaotic evil
and may have decided to do this on a chaotic whim. In addition, the
uncertainty that this unknown power generates among the Serpent`s enemies
(and potential victims) may alone be enough to instill them with fear and
terror, thus furthering Belinik`s cause.

In my campaign I use both option 3 and 4, in that the Cold Rider is actually
granting the Serpent`s worshippers spells. He`s trying to expand his
powerbase in the Daylight World this way, while keeping a low profile. He is
after all - or at least in my campaign - the God of Secrets.
