Maat was a Goddess of snakes and morality who attempted to defeat the chaos serpent Apep, however, after a long battle that produced nothing further than a stalemate, she determined the only way to conquer the beast was to become one with it. She threw down her arms and allowed herself to be devoured by Apep in the hopes that one day she may be able to change the serpent from within. She is still worshipped by many Yuan-ti, but worship of her is mostly done in secret, as Yuan-ti culture is dominated by clergy of Apep who shun the worship of the goddess.
