Yuan-ti

Yuan-ti also known as the Yuan-ti Pureblood are a race of Scaled-kin who resemble the reptile of snakes the most. Being the closest to the Yuan-ti, the two are locked in an ever expansive war for dominance. Where one lies, the other is close by and ready to conquer the area. The two have been locked in this war ever since the Uprising War where the original rift between the Scaled-Kin began showing it's cracks in the foundation.
Nowadays, the Yuan-ti has mastered the art of deception and hiding, adapting into a more humanoid like race, distancing themselves from their Scaled-kin. Although still loyal to Ubo'Tao, they have begun to integrate into the humanoid settlements in Meljabul, as their keen eye and their movement through the Rainforest is helpful to the Allaní Empire as they try to expand their influence deeper into the forest.
