I came up with some concepts:
Concept 1: "Experiment"
Once, a now-forgotten daimyo, in his race for power and the Empress's recognition, made a deal with the Crimson Wizards. His plan was to transform all Kensai into Kensei, as well as all their subsequent generations within the clan.
The experiment was successful; all Kensai grew additional arms, but there was also a side effect: all newborns had snake heads.
The daimyo's actions angered the Empress, and he was exiled to the wild sea.
The fate of the new species was intervened by one of the aspects of Shallasy, who named them as Shallasy's children, just like all other Nagas.
Since then, they have inhabited the border regions of the empire and serve as defenders of the coastal waters (lands, if we take as a concept that they cannot breathe underwater).
Concept 2: "Unknown Nagas"
It was believed that there were three types of Nagas, but recent expeditions of the Lotus Empire into unknown lands beyond the "Ranaara" steppes stumbled upon a settlement of "land Nagas." They resembled deep Nagas with some differences: their height was almost 5 meters, and their tails were 7.5 meters long.
They all had four arms like Kensei, and the biggest difference was their snake heads.
After several years of diplomatic and religious missions, the "land Nagas" joined the Lotus Empire and serve as its fist in land wars, where their aquatic brethren have no advantage.
Concept: "Clan of Outcast Nagas" – still in progress. "As an option, we can take the first concept, like the entire clan was exiled."
