Nagas

In remote corners across the world, nagas guard repositories of arcane knowledge and religious wisdom. Though the culture that created them is lost to time, nagas refuse to abandon the ancient libraries, temples, and tombs entrusted to them millennia ago.

Eternally Bound. Every naga was created as a custodian for a site of scholarly or spiritual significance. Powerful magic binds a naga to the place it was meant to protect, preventing it from forsaking its duty. Even if a naga dies, its spirit eventually returns to the mortal world in a new body. If the site it is bound to protect is ever destroyed, the naga is driven mad by its failure.

Undying Bonds. Nagas are solitary creatures, but they possess a supernatural sense of the comings and goings of their kin. They recognize each other by name and know the locations they safeguard. Over the centuries, affections or rivalries may develop between nagas, even if they never meet each other face to face. When a naga dies or stumbles in its duty, all nagas weep—or rejoice, depending on their relationship with the naga in question.

Immortal Nature. A naga doesn’t require air, sustenance, or sleep.
