 * indent The Makrura have lived in peace for years. They inhabited they're city of Mak'aru and shipwrecks. But, a raid of alliance murdered their, king, Lord Angler, During the Tortosis Invasion. The Makrura, having noticed the drained waters, suspect that the naga have teamed up with the murlocs, Torustis's and other water creatures to defeat azeroth. No later did they find out from spies that Queen Azhara had teamed up with the Sunfury Blood Elves, the Illidari, and the Old God, Neptulon. This posed a great threat to the Makrura. With no left allies, the Makrura founded 5 horde citizens stranded on a small island. These weren't any citizens though, it was Thrall, Cairne, Sylavanas, Vol'jin, and a Blood Elf. The Makrura did not know the Blood Elves' name, but that suspected he was a blood elf of great leadership. The Makrura saved the group of horde. And along with that asked for allegiance with them. Four of the Five leaders hesitated, but Thrall understood their Worries. As days flew by, the island was scaled and mapped. Cairne wanted to station Tauren Outposts on the island aswell as Sylvaynas. But Thrall gave the islands to the Makrura, giving a piece of the land to each Horde race. As the islands grew in population, a group of Naga and Shadow Council members were found the an Island of the coast of Mak'lu. Thrall Aggressively forced the group out, only to hear the woes and cries of the naga, asked for the Horde's Allegiance. The Naga explained what had happened. This time, Thrall hesitated, but Cairne took the offer and the Mak'rura agreed to give the Island of the coasts of Mak'lu and Mak'cer to the group of Naga and they officially named it, Mak'Nir.

Capital
The Naga and tortoise's have drained most waters around the great sea, and Azshara had help form the spirit of Illidan to raise up mountains around the great sea. From ranges spanning from Winterspring to Tristfil Glades, and Tanaris to Stranglethorn Vale, these mountains keep the water from draining into the Great Sea. Parts of old Islands have again risen above the waters, sunken Kalimdor has once again become a part of Kalimdor. The Swiftwind find their new home on a chain of islands off the coast of the New Kalimdor. It is called the Forgotten Realm. It is divided into 5 realms. Their home being Naz`nuevo.

Gameplay
The Swiftwind Vipers will start out unfriendly with every alliance and neutral cities (Besides Dalaran, Shattrath, and Undermine). By the time they exit the Forgotten Realms, they will be friendly with everyone but the Night Elves, whom they will be neutral with. To gain honor with the Darnassians you will have to venture into Teldrassil's Roots, an underground cave with is dug into Teldrassil's roots. It will house many new Night Elf and Naga Quests, which will require you to travel around the world(s) to find the person you need to talk to. It will also be the start of the quest line for the Alliance 150% ground mount. The Horde's being somewhere underneath the Undercity. The Naga, which would not be applicable to ride mounts, will get the "Tailfin Waterrunner" an ability which increases speed by 150% until canceled. (The Makrura having the same thing). Once a Naga is at least Revered with every faction and Exalted with Darnassus, they will be able to obtain the "Alliance Shapeshifting" Ability. Which allows you to ride mounts. it is used by activating at the nearest Moonwell, Mountain, Lake, Crystal Shard (Draenei), and at Gnomergan. When Activated, it bind it to your soul forever "Becomes an Ability" and when ever you mount up, you will be randomly changed into a Human, Draenei, Gnome, Dwarf, or Night Elf.
