During the early development of Heroes of Might and Magic V, Nival had ideas to add a naga / Sanctuary faction. This was confirmed by concept art and community discussions — nagas were planned as a separate culture with an Eastern aesthetic and aquatic theme.

However, in the final version of HoMM V and Tribes of the East, this idea was abandoned — probably due to deadlines, balance issues, and overall workload. As a result, the race remained "off-screen," and was later implemented by fans in the form of mods, the most famous of which is the Sanctuary mod.
