History
After the Battle of Bloody Kansas, a group of religious elders formed the Soldiers of the Way.
Six months afterwards, the Votanis Collective was petitioned for the release of Datak Tarr who was being held in detention at Camp Reverie by the Earth Republic for killing one of their military officers.
Overview
Their fine sense of smell allowed them to determine if a woman was pregnant.
Castithans were a patriarchal culture with males in positions in dominance whilst females subservient with this being orthodox by their people. In fact, females were expected to be submissive to their males and were not allowed to bathe alone as doing so would bring shame to both themselves as well a their families. They were a very liberal people with regards to sex and often used it to get their way. It was claimed that their people drew their strength from their culture.
One item inherent to their culture was the Kyerupavo that were courtship gems crafted on Casti and precious items to an individual that were given to another to indicate courting.
There were a number of liros that included:
- Shanje Liro : the ruler caste
- Valáne Liro : the noble caste
- Emine Liro - the merchant caste
- Rizi Liro - the soldier caste
- Yuke Liro - the worker caste
- Thorn Liro - an unofficial caste, formed on Earth
- Thawandayo - the casteless, reserved for criminals, outcasts and rebels
Bathing was viewed as a family activity with wealthy Castithans bathing a least three times a day. The use of showers was considered only for the lowest of liros. Powerful families were sometimes assisted in their daily activities by a handmaiden with some being purchased as servants.
Sometimes, Castithan children used puppets to enact plays from their holy scrolls.
For crimes, those that opposed their culture and religion faced punishment at the shaming rack. Those guilty of murder were strung up where the members of the community placed stones into the rack that increases the weight designed to pull the criminal apart.
On Earth, a radical group formed among the Castithans religious elders known as the Soldiers of the Way who desired to wipe out all of humanity.
There were a number of words in the Castithan language such as:
- Favi : an honorific given to another with their faily name added second, for example Favi Tarr.
Members
- Datak Tarr :
- Stahma Tarr :
- Alak Tarr :
- Favi Kurr : a male priest who resided in the town of Defiance and believed in the patriarchal culture of his society which was why he opposed Stahma after she overthrew her husband in control of their family.
Appearances
