The Naga keep to themselves. On rare occasions, one can be seen in the wasteland, watching silently before slithering away. They don’t mix with the other peoples of the world.
Rumors say they are the remnants of a lost civilization conducting horrific rituals and worshiping strange gods in the ruins. The Naga would be bemused by the description.
Their ship had crashed and stranded them on this planet decades ago. Rather than twist the world out of shape with their advanced technology, they elected to wait for the native civilizations to catch up before announcing themselves. They are very patient.
