The Yuan-Ti were one of Maeon's first sentient races. Created by the Blood Goddess Estikal from the primordial snakes which ruled the jungles and sea, The Yuan-Ti spread far across early Maeon. They were gifted in the magical arts, due to the fact that Estikal herself woud leave her divine realm in order to personally teach them.
