The Marags were a race of humans that occupied a small but fertile basin called Maragor adjoining Tolnedra and Algaria. They worshipped the God Mara. One in every ten births was male, so Marag society was female-dominated and ruled as a Matriarchy, with the men relegated to athletic and adornment roles. Following the death of his wife, Belgarath spent some time here in promiscuous dissolution, before being tracked down by Beldin and coerced into returning.
