Threan/Society
Culture
Threa'ya is ruled by a loose matriarchal styled society and government. This is really only represented in their family cast system and by the ruling force which is built of a council of eight female leaders with an empress serving as leader of the military. The Empress in this system has little more power than a general would in other systems, but she is also viewed as a sort of divine presence as she is blessed by their god of war and peace. It is believed that no matter how hard the battle is, so long as the empress is alive their army will eventually prevail. The eight council leaders are in turn the rulers of their respective territories and the heads of the most powerful and longest ruling family bloodlines on the planet.
Although a relatively peaceful people the Threans are a very proud warrior race, having developed several forms of martial arts. And while not as warlike as the Human's in their past the Threans have plenty of bloody history having only cast aside war and unified as a species one hundred years ago.
Threan culture is in a sort of renaissance on the home-world. The ruling empires of their world came together and peace was established world-wide around one hundred years ago. There are still some conflicts born of differing religious and family ideals and beliefs, but these cases are often small and quickly contained.
Religion, and Ceremonies
Threans have a small and loosely practiced religious system that serves as the dominant religion in their society, and it has for the last two thousand years. In this religion, there are only three gods.
Threan Pantheon
- Tospa Mulli the goddess of life and love, it is believed that Tospa Mulli found Threa'ya when it was young and used her powers to bring about all the life now found there.
- Threan Scripture segment, Creation:
1:1 Our world is one of the oldest. 1:2 It was a strong world. 1:3 Tospa Mulli, our mother and creator! The divine chieftess found our world when it was young and still it was one of the oldest.
2:1 Tospa Mulli, who had brought life to the universe had found our world, she saw that it was strong, and knew that it was ready. 2:2 The divine chieftess summoned to her brother to her side, Gemonda Doma heeded her call and appeared. 2:3 The divine chieftain obeyed the wishes of Tospa Mulli and formed the mountains, settled the quake's, and filled the seas and skies with water. 2:4 Then the two of them lay with the land and Tospa Mulli was given the miracle of life to share with our world!
3:1 First she made the mighty tree's and they made the air. 3:2 Then she made the colorful grass's of our world and coated them with splendor and they perfumed the air. 3:3 Tospa Mulli created the many creatures of our world while living amongst her gardens. 3:4 When the world was balanced and beautiful the divine chieftess knew it was time to find a new world, and bring life to it as well. 3:5 Before she left her creations behind to live life freely she used the last of the miracle of life and combined it with her own being, she molded and formed her last creation with more love and focus than any other. 3:6 This is how the Threan people were made, the divine chieftess populated the lands of our world with the ancestor tribes and gave to them the early lessons of love and war.
- Gemonda Doma The god of chaos and order, it is believed that the god of chaos and order is in constant conflict and it this conflict that causes disastrous events and miracles to occur all over the universe.
- Threan Scripture segment, How the Divine's come into being:
10:1 Disaster's and miracles can happen naturally. 10:2 This is the gift to the universe from existence. 10:3 The divine chieftess was born of one of these miracles, the largest miracle the universe has ever seen. 10:4 And from the remaining energies of that miracle gave form to Gemonda Doma, the divine chieftain.
11:1 Gemonda Doma's form was incomplete and he became male as consequence. 11:2 this is why Gemonda Doma is conflicted. 11:3 Being born of the same miracle as Tospa Mulli entwined the two as siblings forever. 11:4 Gemonda has little control over his powers and often causes disasters and miracles to occur as he moves through the universe. 11:5 Together the divines chief's can produce great disasters and miracles, such as those of life and death!
12:1 The divine chieftain is drawn to conflict and competition, he often waged war with the lesser divine beings of the universe. 12:2 A time came when, out of rage and jealousy of Tospa Mulli's perfection, Gemonda Doma tricked his sister forcing himself upon her and having his way with her. 12:3 To his dismay Tospa Mulli was gifted the miracle of life from their union and gave birth to the goddess Sigitu Rota. 12:4 Sigitu Rota being born of love and chaos became the goddess of war and peace. 12:5 Now in order for Gemonda Doma to wage war he must seek permission from his daughter, who holds dominion over him and his powers.
- Sigitu Rota The goddess of war and peace, it is believed that Sigitu is the youngest goddess and is responsible for gifting knowledge to the Threan people.
- Threan Scripture segment, Gifts of Knowledge and Destruction:
40:1 Sigutu Rota the daughter of the divine chiefs, the divine war-chief, and master of the forces of war and peace! 40:2 Sigutu Rota follows her mother's path. 40:3 She brings gifts to the creations who have obeyed the early lessons of love and war taught to them by Tospa Mulli. 40:4 Sigutu Rota's gifts are those of knowledge, all knowledge.
41:1 Creation's that have fallen into sin and have not obeyed the lessons of the divine chieftess meet the wrath of Sigutu Rota. 41:2 She will rain down on them fire and sword like hail, she will unleash upon them the divine chieftain, and together they will lay waste to the world!
