Saau

The Saau are an all-male specialized unit of the Qeelsian military tasked with taking care of the life, property, interests and family of the Avya. The Saau operated as a Milawic religious order, and members would dedicate their entire lives to being soldiers. Although modernized, the Saau maintain popular elements of traditional Saau culture. The Saau were founded during the Great War as a personal protection unit to the avya.
The 14th and 15th century is considered the "golden age" of the Saau, with the highest number of active saau estimated to be around 5000. Saau culture is credited with originating the national sport of Qeelsia, yora, and many other martial art practices in Qeelsian and Milawic culture.
