Location

The Naga creatures live in the "Marapur Islands", south of Roshamuul (the 20th area the discoverers were looking for). These islands have:

> Mountains

> Lowlands with jungle-like vegetation

> Partially flooded coastal

Appearance and types of creatures 

The main creatures that inhabit this island are the Nagas. In addition to the Nagas, there are also Makaras, Foam Stalkers, Parders, Two-headed Turtles and Jungle Moas.

There are two types of Nagas: those who live on the Mountain and those who live on the Coast.
> Mountain Nagas: not yet affected by the floods, that is, by the "Insurrection".

> Coastal Nagas: they perfectly integrate the sea level into their way of life.

The appearance of the Nagas is quite different, they have 4 arms, their lower body resembles a large snake and the upper body resembles a humanoid.

> They dress in silk and wear jewelry.

> Can run like lightning.

> They are masters of casting spells, they call this art "yukti".

Skills

> They have acquired a lot of knowledge about the water and the tide, they can predict when and where the next flood will be, when fish are approaching and they can model waves.

> Some are true water artists, they solidify the water and shape it like wax and make it enchanted.

> Another profession they have is beaver "whispering", transporting wood and other materials around the island.

> They are also great gardeners, they learned to grow the "starleaf", a plant that serves as food and crafts.
 

Society

Naga don't have families, rarely form long-term, monogamous relationships, although the current generation is developing a need to do so. Their offspring hatch from eggs, there are brood helpers who take care of all eggs. They sleep in baskets or curled up in branches. 

The Nagas celebrate 3 holidays:

> "Rising Day": commemorates the beginning of sea level rise.

> "Cobalt Tide": celebrated by coastal nagas, associated with inspiration, beautiful secrets and love.

> "The Invocation": it is a time for the people of the mountain, silent contemplation, fasting and sacrifices in a request for protection.

Architecture

> Due to land restriction, they are usually tall buildings, made with baked bricks.

> Presence of ornaments, sculptures and elements of serpentine and wave-shaped, snakes and dragons.

> In the mountain areas, there are many connections by bridges, while in the coastal areas, several buildings are connected by lily paths and by boats.

> Swamp gas lamps: when lit, they hardly dim, they are made of flammable swamp gases.

Political Tensions

> The Nagas are an ancient race and are very proud of their culture and the wealth they have built, their lands have many treasures, gold and precious stones. They can be quite dangerous to humans, but some of them are friendly.

> There are differences in culture, religion, customs and food habits between these Mountain and Coastal Nagas. These differences are not grounds for open conflict, although tensions do occur.

> Their rival faction are the Asuri, who used to live in the Naga realm until they were banished and expelled. Currently the Asuri are trying to return to the island and wreak havoc.

Curiosities

> This island will have new quests, mini-bosses and bigger bosses. 
> New arsenal of items, new mount, achievements and decorative items, 3 new houses and a guildhall.

> The difficulty level resembles Asura Palace, Lions Sanctum and Lower Roshamuul.

if im not wrong, there is a political tension between the ones on mountain and the ones on the river due their region and beliefs... or that's what i understood... i think is enough to see them skirimishing between themselves but as said isn't enough to them have a war against the other... worth mention it i think
