Found throughout the contested territories of Atreia, the Mau are a race of wild ferocious beasts which still retain human characteristics and intellect. They are naturally agile and possess shrewd animalistic instincts that make them a fierce combatant in battle. They are constantly wreaking havoc in the nearby territories surrounding the city of Pandaemonium. The Mau have a tribal society and show an appreciation of nature and their natural surroundings.

This attitude allows them to be well-harmonized. When disturbed, these creatures grit their teeth and fight with frenzy – valiant and without hesitation. The Mau favor light, bladed weapons that can be thrown at considerable distances. These weapons seem to suit their agile movements and quick attack style. However, at closer range the weapons are less effective – there have been many a Krall that has punished a Mau for getting too close.

The Mau are also known for beguiling lesser races into subservience. It is not known how their mental powers work, but most wild beasts under their control have an undying loyalty, especially in battle. The Mau have developed a symbiotic relationship with the Scurv. The Scurv receive protection from the Mau in return for their special gathering and production skills. Scurvs have the innate ability of sniffing out Odium, an herb used by the Mau to increase their strength. The Odium’s powers are derived from the plants ability to photosynthesize Aetheric energies emitted from Aion. The Mau have been unable to seize control of the sacred area known as “The Hidden Claw”. They lack cooperation and a leader to unite them. As such, it has been observed that although their individual fighting abilities are exceptional, they lack the ability to organize a large scale military offensive. This has been shown on the battlefield time and time again as they almost always get outflanked and crushed by their enemies.
