Mavara were born from the blood of Kayan Ado during the last War of the Gods, formed from her blood spilled when she was fighting Ghanalac, a masked Eldritch monstrosity. After the war, bereft and lost without their mother, they fled to the deep jungles near where they were born and formed a secret village in the canopies of the rainbow forests. Their city is a complex weaving of walkways, huts, branches, vines, bridges, hammocks, and nets.

The Mavara nation is led by their Manifest, Uwa Jauhari, and the 36 original Mavara who were born directly from Kayan Ado's blood. They form the council of elders, though every so often, they will step off and let younger Mavara serve. Most Mavara serve the community as hunters, caretakers, or crafters, while the council of elders focuses on serving and finding ways to support or release Kayan Ado. Artists and weavers are also major roles in the community. Mavara spend most of their time making colorful works of art.

Sex is a major part of the Mavaran culture. They express love openly, have no formal committed relationships, and only limit their sexual encounters to not include direct relatives, the nonconsensual, or children. Despite their frequent couplings, children are rare. When children are born, they are celebrated. The whole community celebrates pregnancy, birth, and the first birthday of the child, and they all take part in raising children. Children come of age at 20, at which time they are sent on a special hunt with their closest mentor. What they catch on their hunt determines their name, though it is always something indirect (i.e., one who catches an antelope might be named "Sauri," which means "fast"). Before this, their name is always "Yaro," which means "Child." It is very rare for their to be more than one child at a time, but if there is, they are numbered (i.e., "Yaro na Biyu" would be "Second Child"). If a child does not catch something on their hunt, they are named for their lack of a catch (for instance, they might be called "Yayi Barci" if they fell asleep).

If someone finds their city, they welcome them with care and succor, but they discourage strangers from lingering because they have so often found that strangers distrust or misunderstand their ways.
