History

Government
They have a peculiar form of government. Every member of their government is selected by testing from the general population when they reach the age of maturity. This testing determines the natural skills of the individual and the best occupation for them. It also determines the position they will hold within the government.
Description
Ariolo have a tough, almost leathery skin that is usually a dark grey or brown in color. They have angular heads that slope upwards from a low forehead to the rear of the cranium. The jaw is angled down so that the mouth, which reverses the angular pattern to slope upward away from the line of the jaw and forehead, protrudes slightly away from the face.
From the waist down they have centaur-like torsos. Supporting their bodies are 4 legs that end in a foot with even thicker leather like skin. This foot more closely resembles a terran camels foot than anything else.
They prefer to wear dark colored robes. As decoration they wear metallic badges or symbols that reflect their position and authority within their society. They also tend to wear a hooded cloak over it all with the hood covering the back half of their head.

Customs
The most important celebration in their lives is the Age of Maturity. At this time every citizen undergoes an extremely detailed and complex set of testing. This testing is not only mental but physical and genetic. It takes 5 days and 16 hours a day on average to complete this testing.
