The Naga were a race with multiple arms and serpentine bodies.
They were typical amphibians, capable of surviving both beneath the sea and on land.
No Naga ever strayed far from water. Wherever they went about their daily lives, water was sure to be nearby, so no one knew whether they could survive if they traveled far away from it.
No one knew the answer.
Since the Naga never left the water, and no experts or scholars had conducted experiments specifically to investigate this, the question had never received a clear answer.
It was a great pity. Rex sighed inwardly as he continued onward under the Naga's guidance.
In Azeroth, people continually studied other races, but in his view, their research lacked depth. To answer a question like the one he had just considered, they ought to capture a Naga specifically for testing.
Unfortunately, nothing of the sort had ever happened.
Rex himself had no inclination to conduct such research either. After all, he was a Paladin, not a Mage who could reap direct benefits from such studies. For a Paladin, pursuing that kind of research would mean completely neglecting his proper duties.
Still, Rex believed it was essential to foster that sort of mindset. People needed to move beyond merely observing external things and begin studying their underlying nature.

Many fields of research into the fundamental nature of matter did not exist at all.
In this era, even learning to read was difficult. Illiteracy was everywhere.
Literacy remained firmly in the hands of
