 Basically, what if the Nazjatar Empire is kinda a loose coalition or a federation/confederation instead of one unified centralized Empire? All Naga revere Azshara, but not all Naga are directly subservient. Basically, what if the Nazjatar Empire is kinda a loose coalition or a federation/confederation instead of one unified centralized Empire?

 It's here that Zar'jira shows a concept for what this might look like. Imagine a scenario where Zar'jira is chilling in her own little realm when a messenger arrives from Nazjatar. This messenger requests that Zar'jira provide some kind of aid (attack a target; supply with x, y, z) in exchange for something or other. And that this is a request of the Queen. It's here that Zar'jira shows a concept for what this might look like.

 This could result in an overall more interesting dynamic. You could have individual Naga factions actively fighting each-other, but putting aside their differences to do something for the Empire as a whole. This could result in an overall more interesting dynamic.
