Nejizar finally ascends to the throne of Najara, ending the power struggle that begun with the death of Jacinica. »
Nejizar, the new dark naga, establishes rule over the serpentfolk thanks in large part to its alliance with a dozen spirit naga. By this time, however, the Tricrowned Kingdom of Phalorm has claimed the High Moor and begun constructing a chain of fortresses along the western border of the Serpent Hills. »
Nejizar sends yuan-ti infiltrators south to the Reaching Woods to incite the hobgoblin tribes to march against Phalorm. Ultimately the hobgoblins are repelled and the serpentine provocateurs assassinated. This defeat forces the serpentfolk of Najara to retreat into the Serpent Hills. »
