Devotial
The middle ground of the Naga'tani. Very spiritual, lithe, and slim, much of the population is within this group. Most do not possess the ability to transform into a draconic shape outside of learning through trans-formative magics, but they do hold a strong connection with the spirits and the natural world. They however retain the ability to tap into the same knowledge and area that their dragon kin above them can, but do not have the heavy draconic elements like the Royals.
