Partially inspired by Keith Baker's article on the Shulassakar in Eberron I've always toyed with the idea of different cults or factions of Yuan-Ti... Yuan-Ti who would rever great serpents other than Merrshaulk or Sessinek. They would have alignments other than chaotic evil.
Now the Shulassakar are Yuan-Ti who model themselves after Coatl's, and I can clearly see some cults based on Lillendi, or the various types of Naga and 'wyrms'. So picking off some mythological serpents (mainly vedic), D20 Modern and Deicide/V:tM, I have names like the Brood of Vasuki, the Children of Sesha, Ananta’s Watchers, Manasa’s Guardians, the Serpents of the Light, Infinity Serpents, Mucilinda’s Vanguard, and Nidhogg’s Spawn for Yuan-Ti cults.
I'm trying to come up with motivations and beliefs and methods for each different Yuan-Ti cult...
So anyone have ideas to throw out there?
Out of the cults out there I can think of:
The Cult of Merrshaulk: This would basically be the standard Yuan-Ti cult in D&D, Chaotic Evil in alignment.
The Brood of Vasuki: I've only put a little thought into this one, basically their neutral in alignment, based out of the city of Bhogavati on the (demi-)plane of Naga-loka. They're tied to the serpent Vasuki from Hindu mythology who I can't remember the full details but churned the oceans of the divine milky substance known as the Amrita which resulted in preserving existence.
Sesha, Ananta, Manasa: All Hindu serpents as well.
Nidhogg's Spawn: A Norse serpent, would have something to do with Nidhogg, Linnorms and Ygdrassil.
Infinity Serpents: Were described somewhere in D20 Modern: Urban Arcana.
Apep's Nest (a newer idea): Tied to the Egyptian serpent Apeps.
Mucilinda's Vanguard: Tied to a Bhuddist serpent.
Shekinster Children: A cult having an association with the Naga goddess in D&D.
A non-Eberron based Coautl cult could be the Serpents of the Light.
Then what would a Lillendi cult be called?
