I wasn't around for Ren, was Ashtani and dormant by that time. What you say about defections doesn't surprise me that much: my best guess is that what you describe comes from the organizational RP flavor of the Naga as a sort of secretive, insular family. I was never non-Naga Mhaldorian so honestly have no idea what it seemed like from the outside. Really, I think it was more fun that way, in an unreliable-narrator kind of way, but I also don't have to deal with assimilating ex-Naga into a new Mhaldorian org.

Kiet has argued that the best house in Mhaldor was the Naga as well, so take what he says with a grain of salt.
? it was my favorite house, but I think the Maldaathi and BC were both equally good houses, too, and I invested more time in the BC than the naga across my characters. ICly, of course Kiet would be closer to Naga in general, though, since he's been a serpent for centuries, lol. That doesn't mean I either IC or OOC cling to their existence, and your implication that I do is some ernam level stuff. In fact, if we had to keep two houses from the old Mhaldor I'd pick Maldaathi first and BC second, not naga.

Yeah, being secretive and doing your own thing was part of the fun of
the naga, but the insular nature that came with it ultimately hurt the
org, imo. You can see this with how mediocre both membership and
leadership got for long periods towards the end.

--- Torturous depths --- Crumbling black basalt pitted with dried blood litters the rough stone tiles, worn smooth by the passage of feet. Riven iron sconces cling to the rocky walls, held in place by great black spikes driving towards the depths of the mountain while barbed hooks hang from wire attachments. Drifting back and forth in some undetectable breeze, they rise and fall in rhythmic movements between two jutting lodestones, crackling with a faint static charge. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A bloodied cross stands here, driven deep into the basalt rock as it holds a broken body. You see exits leading east, south, and west.
With a last gasping shudder the slave upon the cross expires, slumping down as their bowels loosen in death to splatter across the surroundings.
Never saw that before. Guess I spend too little time in the torture chambers.
