Yuan-Ti

The Yuan-Ti are a race of decadent snake-men who inhabit the continent of Velnar. They first inhabited only the eastern jungles of Velnar, but their Empire slowly spread westward, causing the Tishad to make exodus to other lands. This is what caused the spread of Humankind across Tol.
The Yuan-Ti are known to capture Tishad humans, enslaving them and using them in foul breeding programs. Some Yuan-Ti, called Purebloods, look almost human, except for some minor reptilian features. These act as diplomats with the remaining Tishadi and beyond. The so-called Halfblood Yuan-Ti look more reptilian and are generally hidden away deep in Yuan-Ti cities, guarding temples and acting as a hidden army. The most monstrous Yuan-Ti called abominations, seem to be made up of numerous serpents, the way an elemental is made of fire or water.
The Yuan-Ti worship a foul serpent god named Szathusa and believe they are destined to destroy the world. Although they don’t get along well with any race, they reserve a special hatred for the insectile Thri-kreen with whom they battle for territory.
A group of yuan-ti were recently found to have raised a crude temple to their dark deity in the sewers below Estwald. They were attempting to sacrifice a group of Kobolds, including Zikzok, but they were foiled by the Fire Wasps. Some of the yuan-ti escaped, but it is assumed the city will be more on guard.
