Steeped in the ancient traditions of a distant home world orbiting a dying star, kasathas are four-armed humanoids who arrived in the Pact Worlds aboard a massive worldship named Idari<\/em>. Striving for cosmic balance in all things, kasathas take pride in tempering their technological advances with the wisdom of their ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Kasathas are originally from the desert planet of Kasath, a doomed world orbiting a red giant. Shortly after the period of lost history known as the Gap, kasatha leaders realized their planet was dying and made a plan to leave Kasath and settle on the distant red world in the Pact System known as Akiton. Centuries later, they arrived aboard the worldship Idari<\/em> to find a thriving planet already inhabited by multitudes of other species. Most kasathas decided to stay on board the Idari<\/em>, while others peacefully emigrated to the many planets of the Pact Worlds, where their scientific and metaphysical knowledge are welcomed additions to the diverse star system. Today, kasathas are found throughout the Pact Worlds and even in several Near Space systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical Description <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kasathas are humanoids with gray skin, four arms, and pure black eyes. They have an elongated skull that extends behind their neck, further accentuating their tall frames. After evolving to survive migrations on a massive world, many kasathas have wiry bodies with thick musculature that makes them strong despite their lanky appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many kasathas prefer wearing baggy, layered clothing that conceals their multiple arms\u2014and what they\u2019re wielding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kasathan culture prioritizes stability and balance, with a respect for honor, tradition, and the importance of upholding and respecting one\u2019s edicts and anathemas. Most kasathas form matriarchal and nomadic clans and subclans organized into a complex myriad of \u201cGreat Families.\u201d While each Great Family has its own set of customs and traditions, common staples include concealing one\u2019s mouth from all but your most intimate companions, a belief in the honor of fighting with melee weapons, and a coming-of-age period known as the Tempering, a traditionally yearlong period that could last longer for some kasathas. During their Tempering, a kasatha is encouraged to test their limits, learn from different cultures, and forgo familial customs in the hopes of learning firsthand the importance of stability and tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most kasathas go by their first name, many have a full name consisting of up to half a dozen elements referring to one\u2019s ancestors, clan, and connection to the Great Families of Kasath. For example, a kasatha properly named \u201cBarasul Naedarin Allar of Clan Allar and House Holdare, Keeper of Ten Million Thoughts\u201d would likely introduce themself as Barasul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample Names:<\/strong> Altronus, Barasul, Ehu, Esar, Gorsen, Hadif, Jahir, Kala, Khsutil, Maeda, Metweska, Ninura, Remu, Senesel, Tolar, Umana, Voloteo, Zye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beliefs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kasathan cultures hold custom and ancestral tradition in high regard, but each kasatha follows their own unique set of traditions, combining the rituals of their clan with those they develop through life experience. This accumulation of traditions and customs often inspires older kasathas to spend time remembering and honoring the past daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Edicts<\/strong> cover your mouth in public, establish your own customs, honor your traditions, maintain balance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Anathema<\/strong> disrespect or belittle the traditions of others, disrespect your elders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
