Maenad

Maenads are a race of psionic humanoids known for their powerful emotions, which they can manifest as psionic force. [1] They dwell in the Tashyvar Islands of the Tashana Tundra in Sarlona . [2]

History

The maenads believe themselves to be survivors of a civilization among the Lhazaar Principalities that sank into the Lhazaar Sea some two thousand years ago. Those survivors still at sea sailed east and settled in the Tashyvar Islands . This cataclysmic event forever changed them into the maenads of today. [2]

Description

Maenads resemble tall, strong humans with a faint crystalline sheen to their skins, which gives them a strange pallor. [1] [2]

Personality

Maenads are generally taciturn and reserved in an effort to keep their strong emotions in check. [1] [2]

Abilities

Maenads can manifest a sonic shout from their innate psionic powers (as the energy ray power). They can also channel their rage to boost their physical strength for a short period of time at the expense of their mental abilities. [1]

Society

Very little is known of the Inana maenads that dwell in the Tashyvar Islands. Their lifestyle is believed to be deliberately simple to avoid indulging their destructive emotions. The Inana seemingly abandoned and reoccupy their communities depending on the season. [2]

Maenads in the Tashana Tundra maintain good relations with the shifters of the Saartuk nation. Maenads are expert sailors and maintain much of the trade in the Tashana Tundra. [2]

Maenads worship deities of the sea. [1]

Lands

The Inana maenads call the Tashyvar Islands of the Tashana Tundra home. They have recently established small settlements along the coasts of the mainland Tashana Tundra as well. [2]
