History

Before the Chaos Wars, Naga were a serpent worshiping mountain tribe that lived on Nagpur. When the war was at its worst, during a snake dance, a wild magic storm hit. All the participants were affected. Some immediately, others until the next full moon and a rare few didn’t have the trait appear in them but their children did. The mutation varied depending on the tribe, inclination and nearness to snakes. Because most nobles are dragon-blooded they eventually gained control and became shifters. Others show their serpent traits in appearance and temperament.

Their cousins on the other side of island in Slithoria, had a similar occurrence but with lizards during a lizard dance. They had a worst effect, because the predatory nature of the lizards was stronger and all but subsumed their humanity. Many of the lizardfolk became violent and warlike as a result.

So came the war. Lizard vs snake. Their draconic cousins on the nearby island of Dracoria eventually enforced a peace before their mutual destruction. They created a neutral zone around the holy lake of Takshila. The Goddess Devangara created the winged naga in her image to be protectors of the peace around the holy lake.
