male

Male (noun: man) is one of the three genders traditionally recognized by the Sumraki-Ashaī of Styx and the Church of Serkatha.

Within the society of Styx men were historically forced into a subservient role tending to hearth, home and offspring while women ruled and led the Church, their families and the state.

Following the Great Revolution the old systems were replaced with more equal ones: men and wyreth were placed on the same level as women and given the right to participate in society in any way they see fit.
Despite these legal recognitions and changes the conservative view still sees men as belonging in roles of subservience. The Umbraen Elvish word for "man" or "male" literally translates to "Unlike the Goddess".

Some people assigned a female gender at birth do not identify as such; traditionally they were placed in the gender role of wyren and seen as a third gender.
Nowadays people assigned a female gender at birth who identify as male are starting to be legally and socially recognized as such.
