Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Therians have a single given name. Sets of names tend to be reserved for certain castes; to give too high a name is presumptuous, and too low a name disgraceful. Family names are common among the higher castes, and denoted with the prefix "Khet-"

Therians from the River Kingdoms have Egyptian-sounding names.

Therian priests are given honorific titles in the High Speech corresponding to the god they serve, denoted with the prefix "Akh-". For instance, a priest of Sarru would be referred to with the surname "Akhsarru".

Major Organizations

The River Kingdoms are the largest majority-Therian society in Aedes. Therians can be found in virtually every human civilization, particularly throughout the Patrian Empire.

History

Therian recorded history begins around 1300 BR in the River Kingdoms.
