Maenads are a race of psionic Humanoïdes known for their powerful emotions, which they can manifest as psionic force.

The maenads believe themselves to be survivors of a civilization among the Principautés de Lhazaar that sank into the Mer de Lhazaar some two thousand years ago. Those survivors still at sea sailed east and settled in the Tashyvar Islands. This cataclysmic event forever changeld them into the maenads of today.

Maenads resemble tall, strong Humains with a faint crystalline sheen to their skins, which gives them a strangel pallor.

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

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.

Very little is known of the Inana maenads that dwell in the Tashyvar Islands of the Toundra de Tashana. Their lifestyle is believed to be deliberately simple to avoid indulging their destructive emotions. The Inana seemingly cycle into their communities depending on the season.

Maenads in the Toundra de Tashana maintain good relations with the Férals of the Saartuk nation. Maenads are expert sailors and maintain much of the trade in the Toundra de Tashana.

Maenads worship deities of the sea.

The Inana maenads call the Tashyvar Islands of the Toundra de Tashana home. They have recently established small settlements along the coasts of the mainland Toundra de Tashana as well.
