===Ancestry and Naming=== | ===Ancestry and Naming=== | ||
Tyrellians are matrilineal, with lineage traced through the female line. Traditionally, naming would have been in the form "ChildName, child of MotherName, grandchild of GrandmotherName", as far back was reasonable. In modern times this has been abbreviated, and a child simply takes their mother's given name as their surname. | Tyrellians are matrilineal, with lineage traced through the female line.

===Schooling=== | |||
Tyrellian compulsory education begins at age 8 and ends at the age of 21, at which point the individual may choose to go on to higher education (such as college/university), a trade, craft or artistic apprenticeship, or straight into employment. As such, Tyrellian Starfleet officers are at least 25. | |||

They are also used by law enforcement in the course of investigations, though of course they may not "read" anyone without their consent; this means that they are more often found working with victims and witnesses than with suspects. Much more controversially, while telepathic evidence is not admissible in court, telepaths are used as part of the Tyrellian justice system's sentencing programs, and those convicted of a crime can be made to experience the suffering they inflicted on their victims. | They are also used by law enforcement in the course of investigations, though of course they may not "read" anyone without their consent; this means that they are more often found working with victims and witnesses than with suspects.

===Festivals and Celebrations=== | |||
====Festival of Stars==== | |||
Originating in an ancient religion, this festival has long since evolved into a secular celebration of gratitude and appreciation. Tyrellians give gifts to those they love, make donations to charitable causes, and light lamps to figuratively walk among the stars <ref> [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/RHexDXGyp3g/m/7xsDRKNiBgAJ "A Festival of Stars", Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]], {{USS|Gorkon}} SD 239411.29 </ref>. | |||

====The Monarchy==== | ====The Monarchy==== | ||
Tyrellia and its colonies are a crowned republic, which is to say that the royal family has no executive power in their constitution. Their role in society is purely ceremonial, and they often represent Tyrellians and their interests abroad. | Tyrellia and its colonies are a crowned republic, which is to say that the royal family has no executive power in their constitution.

=====Royal Titles and Styling===== | |||
Because of the meaning and gender-neutral nature of Tyrellian royal titles, there is no direct equivalence in Federation Standard (FS). In formal situations, protocol and etiquette thus dictate the use of royal titles in their Tyrellian form: Kādari, Ishari, Ydari, and so forth. The Federation translation of their styling (terms of address), such as “Your Majesty” are used. | |||
*; Sovereign : '''Kādari''' (lit. ''Ruler of the Great House''). In Federation Standard, styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Most Illustrious Majesty" on first address, "Majesty" on subsequent. | |||
*; Sovereign's Consort : '''Ishari '''(lit. ''Heart of the Great House''). In Federation Standard, , styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Most Gracious Majesty" on first address, "Majesty" on subsequent. | |||
*; Heirs : '''Ydari''' (lit. ''Child of the Great House''). In Federation Standard, styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Royal Highness" on first address, "Highness" on subsequent. | |||
*; Heir's Consort : '''Ydarin''' (lit. ''Humble Child of the Great House''). In Federation Standard, styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Royal Highness" on first address, "Highness" on subsequent. | |||
*; Duke/Duchess : '''Exar''' (lit. ''Leader of the People''). In Federation Standard, styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Grace". | |||
*; Exar's Consort : ''' Exarin''' (lit. ''Humble Leader of the People''). In Federation Standard, styled as "His/Her/Their/Your Grace". | |||
=====Current Royal Family===== | |||

** '''Ishari (sovereign’s consort):''' Yovan | |||
