     description= _ "Experienced warriors of the Southern Naga often find work as mercenaries, usually hired by neighboring Dunefolk to control key waterways near the coastline. Though generally amicable with their wealthy employers, this friendliness should not be mistaken for loyalty. Bladewhirlers, in particular, are known for readily switching between rival city-state factions at the start of each shipping season, when demand for water-based protection is the highest. By encouraging a healthy amount of competition, these nagas ensure that their services are always sought after by one tribe or another."
