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.
