Editing Yuan-Ti

{{Worldbuilders}}[[File:Yuanti.jpg|thumb|278x278px|Yuan-Ti exist in several forms, some more serpentine than others.]]
'''Yuan-Ti '''are a race of serpentine humanoids not found commonly in the realm. 

== About ==
Yuan-Ti have great capabilities for stealth. Green skin and the use of war paint helps conceal some Yuan-Ti, while others have natural chameleon-esque camouflage capabilities. 

== Gods ==

=== [[Serket]] ===
An old holy leader of the Yuan-Ti who led them in [[Prehistory|Prehistoric]] times, Serket is typically considered a [[Lost God]], with little appearance or interference in recorded history. Despite their disappearance, many of the ancient serpentine people (see below) still worshipped and waged holy war in their name.

Another theory holds that Serket was instead the [[Ta-Shedet|Ta-Shedethen]] name for a still existing god such as the Yuan-Ti god [[Sseth]].

== Types ==

=== [[The Serpentine]] ===
The oldest Yuan-Ti ancestors, who originally slithered across [[Pteris]], represent only a very small faction of the Yuan-Ti population in modern times.

=== Anathema ===
Terrible, unholy abominations, the Anathema are dangerous, nightmarish Yuan-Ti that look to decimate Quelmar. Often summoned or created as part of Yuan-Ti wartime, the Anathema were tanks on the Yuan-Ti battlefield, both immortal and magical. Since they were so unkillable, it was common for magicians to instead imprison or entomb Anathema into stasis. However, from their imprisonments, they could still occasionally reach out psionically, making contact with particularly spiritual creatures both underground like in [[Merca]] or on the surface.  

== Notable Populations ==

=== [[The City of Merca]] ===
A massive civilization of Yuan-Ti exist under the surface of the dunes of [[Pteris]], notable for their moon-drawn lifestyles and their festival known as '''The Great Opening''' in which they emerge briefly at the surface up to 3 times a year.

=== [[Cof]] ===
A tribe of Yuan-Ti on the island Cof were notable for mixing their members with a group of Fire Salamanders, creating a new species of Yuan-Ti with heated bodies and fire breathing abilities. The Yuan-Ti lived in Cof's solitary mountain, living in caverns underneath of the island's guardian [[Chronepsis]]. While Chronepsis did not care much for the mixed race, they worshiped Chronepsis by sacrificing their elderly and bringing carved idols. 

The leader of the clan '''Shaneeks '''was a full blooded fire salamander, but his two sons '''Silass '''and '''Mariss '''were half breeds that cemented Shaneek's control over the colony of Yuan-Ti. Shaneeks and his son would be hunted down by [[The Best Around]] on their journey to the top of Cof's mountain, looking for legendary [[Existence Crystals|crystals]]. 

This colony also consisted of 98 soldiers, another 16 serpentine scouts, and a civilian population of 234. The population would come into conflict with the colonizers who invaded Cof, and would be nearly extinct by 700 [[PR]].
