Naga[edit]

Physical Description[edit]

At first glance, the coiling lower form of the naga is their defining feature, your eyes
flowing upward to be met with a humanoid upper torso. To some naga, it is reminiscent
of a normal human, save for their eyes, ears and pronounced canines. To be viewed
behind a waist-high barricade, they could be mistaken for human. This is not true for all
naga, as the humanity of their upper bodies wanes, following more to their serpentine
bloodline with their scales, claws, and elongated necks ending in the head of a snake.
Do not be fooled, as some of these variants of naga can be the most kind-hearted of
their people.
History[edit]

Born far before the likes of the yuan-ti, the naga were the original forebears of Zehir.
They were cunning, swift, secretive and lived long enough to give a great many years to
their god. Throughout the spellplague, they were loyal servants, their prowess and
strength became the aspirations of the now yuan-ti. This visage would be their later
vision of perfection, as the naga themselves would soon be torn from their creator, as
Zehir grew hungrier in its need for power.

It would be Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, who saw these warriors. Seeing their
potential Wisdom and Intelligence that could be shaped through their lifespans, he
offered them providence to renounce the shrewed, cruel ways of their creator. Seeing
the opportunity at longevity and removal from under the thumb of Zehir, they agreed
and had been changed to that of a divine race.
Society[edit]

Like other humanoids, nagas have formed modern societies in their own kingdoms as
well as being loyal subjects to other countries. This modernization mixed with their long
lifetimes has allowed for more spiritual and intellectual pursuits, serving as protectors
and guardians of treasures; both material riches and spiritual wealth. Others form more
artistic drives, as Naga fashionistas and artisans are valued contributors to multiple
cultures, experience allowing for deepened expressions and meaning behind their work.
