Naya is one of five Shards of Alara. It is primarily green-aligned, with red and white as secondary colors.
It is inhabited by gargantuan beasts, humans, elves who worship the beasts, a feline race called nacatl, and minotaurs that stalk the canyons. After the Shards realigned and Alara was reborn, some vedalken heretics from Esper migrated to Naya, while the coatl snakes were created from the influx of blue mana.
Naya is Ajani's birthplace.
