It is known that the Tsaesci do not have legs but instead slither on a snake-like appendage.

"The Potentate Versidue-Shaie and his son Savirien-Chorak slithered into the room" Slithered can be a figurative word, use to as a discription on how a bad person slinked into the room. Versidue-Shaie might have been a snake man with legs (like an argonian), its could be just a figurative way of discribing his movements cause he is a snake guy.

For all we all know, the Tsaesci are not one race - they are like the empire, made up of many different races identifying under a common collective. We do not really know much from their social structure and stuff, so they might not even be a definitive race, just a group of like minded people working together for come common goal, with Tsaesci being a collective term to describe this group of people.

I am basing this on the assumption that all the books we have on them that are discriptive enough are NOT written by an Akaviri or Tsaesci - after all, third party sources are best taken with a pinch of salt.

Everytime these Akavri move it is said that they "slithered", so it seems to be that it is a bit more literall than it is figurative.

It's pretty damn obvious that the Tsaesci are intended to be serpents (the fact that they are referred to as sepent-men/snake-men should honestly be enough evidence to prove that).

It is most probable that men lived amongst the Tsaesci.
