Yuan-ti Houses - Forgotten Realms Lore

The Yuan-ti are often described as monsters, joining the ranks of ooze and umber hulks, yet they outmatch most humanoid in intelligence.
The Yuan-ti have a rich culture, and run some of the most expansive networks in Faerun.
Learn how they run Najara, or control Hlondeth – These monstrous humanoid snake men are not to be trifled with.

That last part blew my mind implying that Volo and Elmnister work for the Yuan-ti

[MillenniumDiceTV]

[JosephDungee]

Great idea to present the Forgotten realms Lore.... Love it!

[FlourEater]

Want a *convincing* reason for introducing Good Alignment Yuan-Ti to your story?
Make a custom snake god with access to the Healing Domain!
In real life, snakes have often been depicted as symbols of healing and fertility. I think it would be interesting to see a cult of Yuan-Ti who took to worshiping snakes as a means of improving their medicinal knowledge and restorative magic.

Yeah your back it’s been a minute this is a great video since I’m playing my Yuan-ti Pureblood Wizard at Winter Fantasy AL Con🐍🐍💯

[kalemdoucette]

I didn’t think I was a nerd until I subscribed to this channel.

[finneon]

Love the background music - from Neverwinter Nights, right?

[mattsgrayzone]

Which tribe was used in Tomb of annihilation? The one that was taken over by "RAS NSI" the traitor and necromancer. It might have been mentioned in the video and I missed it.

[sovereigneverblight]

Sea snake Yuan Ti do exist! I was looking for those!

[adrianobcavf]

Finally another video!!! Maybe a next video is about the Spine of The World?

[ShadowmarkReturns]

Was thinking of making Shieldbreaker from Darkest Dungeon as a Yuan-Ti Pureblood, this is useful info.

[coleturner]

Your voice reminds me of someone from the Avatar series. No idea what, can't quite put my finger on it yet. :)

[XX-sptt]

Yuan-ti, Orcs, Mind Flayers, Aboleths, Beholders, all think they should be king of the world, but the dragons come and turn them to ash all the same.

[hoogmonster]

David Icke is probably a subscriber now based on that ending...

[jozzyalthefool]

*makes a video about Yuan-Ti*
