The "Little Bears" of Setessa

Children in Setessa are reared by the polis as a whole and treated with the highest respect; their welfare is paramount and their training is a significant part of every warrior’s occupation. Orphans and abandoned children are sacred to Karametra, so they are brought into the city and tended just as Setessa’s own children are.
In contrast to the discipline associated with educating children in other poleis, Setessan youngsters enjoy tremendous freedom. Called arkulli, meaning “little bears,” they are welcome anywhere in the city. They often wander in and out of the temple, training grounds, the hall of the Ruling Council, the market, and anywhere else their paths take them. Such freedom is meant to cultivate a curious spirit and help the children find the path they’re most interested in following later in life.
