Lore
Naga hatchlings are traditionally paired with a young Current-Eel at birth, forging a lifelong bond sealed by a drop of the hatchling's venom introduced into the eel's water basin. When Naga ambassadors travel to the Water-Embassy of Elven Sylvanos, their Current-Eels bear sealed message-pouches woven from coral silk, serving as living postal couriers between the two civilizations. Elder Naga claim that a Current-Eel will circle its bonded master's body three times upon the master's death before vanishing into the deep, never to be seen again.
Role in the World
Among the Naga - The Serpentine Masters of Water and Poison, Current-Eels serve as the primary means of transportation and rapid message delivery across vast river systems and open seas. They are indispensable to the Naga's ability to maintain swift communication between distant settlements.
