The Maru

The Maru, sometimes called 'The Ones of Old', and whose full name are Maruatzol are a race similar to the Slanik and Scarin, the snake and lizardfolk. The Maru however, can only be found in one place, and one place only. The vast and infinite, damp and treacherous, dense and humid jungles of Saurion. The Maru are humanoid reptilians, and many resemble reptiles such as lizards, snakes, chameleons, and even Sauren. They are a fearsome race, intelligent and merciless, a race that protects the jungles of Saurion.

Maru are a race of beasts, and they are the only Animaran race capable of surviving the climate of Saurion. Maru are the only ones with the ability to tame the Sauren, which are a species of variety, ranging from small, feathered scavengers to gargantuan titans - all only found on and throughout the vast continent of Saurion. If a human was to try to survive on Saurion, they would surely perish within a few days. There is one thing you must remember... Always respect the ways of the Maru, if not, war will come.

Various cities have been founded and built by them, biggest of which is Marazotl, The City of Gold. Vast temples arose from the ground and now, Marazotl, a city forged entirely of gold, is kilometres wide. One of the oldest of races, Maru are known to be the ancestors of dragons.
