	~~Customs = need ideas for this helpies pls}}~~
	===Religions===		===Religions===
			The majority of Unathi are considered Secular, in that they do not openly worship any particular faith. The belief in a soul, called a ''Sjekha'', is present across all Unathi, as is the belief in an afterlife. However, many religions are still present across Moghes and the Unathi colonies, from the mundane to the strange. Below are the three dominant Unathi faiths. All of them could arguably have a presence on the Endeavour, in the form of religious Unathi crewmembers, or a passionate Chaplain.

			====Basaan====
			'''Basaan''' is a modern Unathi faith that has its origins in the Haja-Batek, the great wars that took place during the Unathi climate catastrophe. It is a rejection of the brutality and violence brought on by worldly desires and excess. Many Unathi understood the need to reduce their consumption, and stop the senseless struggle for a dying land. The combination of spirituality, religious dogma, and desperation led to the creation of the Basaan Cult. Basaanites follow the Hassat, a series of rules on how to live a life with as minimal a negative impact as possible. Many Basaanite extremists, known as the K’lar, travelled from town to town, raising large armies of followers to destroy ranches, factories, and other sources of major polluters. With many Unathi exhausted from years of fighting, the ideas of the Hassat, and ending the senseless slaughters, reinvigorated the population, and helped to bring decades of conflict to a halt.

			The Hassat is still followed by many Unathi, even those that have no ties to the organised Basaan Cult, as it largely functions as just a way to minimize carbon footprints, and living ‘in-tune’ with nature. The organised Basaan Cult has grown to challenge both Hrek’ann practitioners, and non-religious Unathi. It is considered ‘new age’, and rejects the concepts of deities and spirits. It also rejects the concept of ‘atheism’, which it blames for allowing unchecked greed to lead the Unathi to disaster. They argue the need for faith instead of organised religion.

	====Old Hrek'ann & New Hrek'ann====		====Old Hrek'ann & New Hrek'ann====
	Hrek'ann is an ancient, traditional Unathi faith that has grown to become the dominant faith amongst practicing Unathi. It is divided into Old and New Hrek'ann, as the faith underwent a divisive reformation, from which the faith has yet to recover fully.

It is divided into Old and New Hrek'ann, as the faith underwent a divisive reformation, from which the faith has yet to recover fully.

	Hrek'ann is the belief in the ~~Fan'ann~~, a pantheonic group of deities that represent the spirits of both concepts and everyday objects. They believe ~~they~~ the Unathi were born from the union of several of these spirits: Ha'ahsa, the spirit of life; Mog'han, the spirit of the earth; V'anii, the spirit of fire; and Ca'tal, the spirit of knowledge. Together, they created the Unathi, and gave them Moghes.		Hrek'ann is the belief in the Fanann, a pantheonic group of deities that represent the spirits of both concepts and everyday objects.

	Old Hrek'anns believe that the Fan'ann are infinite, and that certain Unathi, either through great spiritual acts, or legendary ~~deed~~, ascended to become spirit-gods, deserving of the same honour as the others. Though the Fan'ann share many aspects, they are all spirits in their own rights.

Though the Fan'ann share many aspects, they are all spirits in their own rights.

	New Hrek'anns on the other hand, believe that the Fan'ann is not a collection of spirits, but rather, the representation of a greater being, the Fan'jaer, which created the universe and presents itself in the form of spirits, acting autonomously but all in service to the greater divine purpose. The Fan'ann may be appeased through prayer and worship for specific things, but it is through the Fan'jaer that all things happen.

The Fan'ann may be appeased through prayer and worship for specific things, but it is through the Fan'jaer that all things happen.

	The split between the New and Old faiths began almost one thousand years ago, with the Haja-Hrek'ann, a religious war between various Unathi states that declared themselves the representative nation of a powerful spirit. In religious mythos, this was seen as a war in heaven between the spirits, leading to the death of V'anii, with the sun itself dimming, and a year of intense cold, famine, and devastation until her miraculous rebirth, and the returning of the sun. This event is celebrated by both New and Old Hrek'ann followers with a three day festival.

	The Old Hrek'anns celebrate this as the Rebirth of V'anii, however this event is interpreted by New Hrek'anns as the Return of Fan'jaer, the divine being, who had disappeared to mourn the mass slaughter that had occurred over the prior decades, in misguided belief. Led by G'issek, the prophet-king of the G'issekans, their followers. Though G'issek was able to conquer much of Southern Moghes, their successors were unable to hold onto such a large and diverse territory, quickly breaking into numerous successor states. Though the G'issek Hegemony lasted only 50 years, it's faith, New Hrek'ann, remains deeply rooted across much of Kssinder.

	====Gozi====		====Gozi====
	The Gozi faith, originating in the harsh heat of the Ktash region of Moghes, is based on the fundamental belief that existence is merely a test for those souls to enter J'rana, a paradise beyond the ether. Only those capable of overcoming the harshness of living, and thus worthy of ascending, will enter J'rana. Those that fail are doomed to repeat the cycle until they learn the truth. Gozi holds that acts of kindness, perseverance, and tolerance are the measures by which a being is weighed, and only though all may learn of the Gozi, only those who have lived a life of active kindness and selflessness will be permitted to enter.

This sacrifice has long been part of Gozi discussions, art, and debates. Is choosing to remain to spread the knowledge of salvation enough of a selfless action to warrant entering J'rana?

	Unathi culture is too expansive to cover briefly, the bullet points would be that outside of trade, their culture holds artisans of almost any kind in high regard, from performing arts to gastronomy, from architecture to painting, these would be the professions that the average Unathi would revere in their culture. Generally speaking, in Unathi culture there is no one commonly accepted religion, generally speaking if a Unathi believes in a higher power, they will seek it out in an attempt to learn more about it. Using observations of the order of things around them such as physical laws or social constructs, they’ll seek to rationalize why these things are as they are and form a system of belief around it. If it cannot be explained by modern science, there is probably a cult about it. Somewhere.

	===History===		===History===
	~~{{Wipnote\|!!!}}~~		Unathi Civilization stretches back around 12,000 years, to the advent of writing and language in the ancient civilizations of the Ma’ha’an, the Soh’rena, and the Dik’ret. While the Dik’ret system has long since been abandoned, the modern Kripen and Ssalant dialects can be traced back respectively. This was a time of honorable warfare, heroes, and legends. It is from this time period that most of the Unathi’s historic stories, fables, and myths originate. Being written in this time, usually about events that happened in prehistory. Some of these stories are fantasies, but others have been proven correct, such as the time the great Ktash flooded for several decades, or the volcanic winter that plunged Moghes into a period of famine and war.

			At the dawn of the Unathi modern age, around 1600AD, the rapid industrialisation of Moghes led to widespread deforestation, replaced with pastures to feed the ever growing population. The depletion of their fossil fuels, and the near-total destruction of their rainforests led to widespread civil unrest, collapse, and economic upheaval. The Moghsian Climate Catastrophe is known as the Haja-Batek, broadly translated to ‘Meat Wars’, and better understood as a series of resource conflicts between every state on Moghes, fighting over valuable land and materials.

			After nearly sixty-six years of fighting, the Haja-Batek finally ended with the pointless death of nearly half their civilization, reducing their populations to an almost pre-industrial level. In the scientific rush that comes with any military conflict, the Unathi had discovered rocket technology, and used them to great effect in blowing each other up. It was only after the war that they had the chance to aim those rockets somewhere else, the stars. The Unathi, tired of war with their neighbours, finally shrugged, and agreed to work together. Unlike in Earth history, where the space race was motivated largely by rivalry and nationalism, on Moghes, the space race was conducted out of necessity, fostering a long-standing sense of cooperation amongst the Unathi people.

			Though the Unathi still often struggle with internal disputes, largely from the Szikhan Hegemony, they have steadily rebuilt Moghes, expanded their influence, and rapidly colonised their solar system. While they are not entirely united, the great Coalition effectively represents the Unathi on an interstellar level, being the main, but not only, body through which the Unathi and other civilizations interact.

			They have since gone on to become an interstellar species, one of significant importance in this arm of the Milky Way. They have many colonies, and numerous trade and diplomatic agreements with the myriad of other alien species present, Humanity included.

Despite being woefully unsuited for these climates, Tzeg biology refused to submit, and they have adapted to these conditions by becoming less cold-blooded, and growing feathers on their ankles, wrists, and across their shoulders, neck, the back of their head, and down their tail. These feathers are typically gray or white, but this has not stopped the Tzeg from colouring these feathers themselves, adorned with fancy patterns and features. Their scales come in a variety of tones, typically darker shades.
	~~{{Wipnote\|They're like imagine a lizard~~ but with ~~fur on their wrists~~, ~~ankles~~, and ~~shoulders}}~~
			The largest Tzeg nation is the Tzeg’Katal, a united federation that seeks to bring prosperity to the region. The harsh conditions of the Tzegi have forced them into close relations and reliances, but modernisation has led to many of the decentralised and isolated states seeking to express its own identity.

This occurred almost five hundred years ago now, and the Hrad are members of the semi-united Vasakkad, with small colonial holdings across the Esa System.

	The Sinta make up the majority of most Unathi on Moghes, being the most diverse and spread out, having many settlements of their own but also living in the cities of many other types of Unathi, as their biology is the most ‘baseline’ of their species.

	As they are prevalent across all of Moghes, the Sinta are a much less united people than say the Hrad or Tzeg. They have many nations, clans, and colonies, and can be found pretty much anywhere the Unathi have a presence. The largest of the Sinta nations is the Szikan Hegemony, which controls a wide part of the northern continent of Sarrahat.

	The Hrad’Unathi are the largest and most intimidating looking Unathi. They are on average taller and heavier built than the rest of their species, sharing many similarities to the earthly Crocodilia family, with long and flat snouts, with their natural domain being the swamplands and bayous of the Ssarina. Despite their impressive and intimidating stature, the Hrad were historically ambush predators, preferring to settle on the riverbanks of their homeland.

	The Ahat are small Unathi residing in the northern hemisphere. Historically, they have been isolated to the small island of Ahat’Rashan, where they developed a unique biology that has made them more ‘energy efficient’ than other Unathi. They are typically small, both in height and in build, and prioritise using their limited energy efficiently. This means they are hardwired to ‘take shortcuts’. Where many see them as lazy, they are the epitome of ‘working smarter, not harder’, and tend to enjoy long periods of napping in the afternoon, or just about any free time they have.

	The Ahat’Unathi mostly keep to Ahat’Rashan, having little reason to travel to other places outside of Moghes, beyond tourism or education. Due to the Ahat’s much smaller stature, most cities outside of their island are simply not designed to accommodate them. This has forced the Ahat to focus more on both internal expansion, and interplanetary expansion, where they have taken full advantage of their size and abilities.

	The Lessik’Unathi are adapted to the conditions of the arid and semi-arid regions of the Ktash. They are roughly the same size as other Unathi, but are covered in spines from the back of their head, down to their tail. This serves as a sort of defensive armour, allowing the largely passive Lessik to curl themselves into a spiny ball, which is near impenetrable to most land-dwelling animals. Following the advent of firearms, this became less practical to use in daily life, though still sees the rare use in high stress situations, mostly involuntary.

	The Lessik originate from the Lansa’Gatak a region of the Ktash comprising oasis cities, clans, and polities. The Lessik’arrat is considered an economic confederation binding the Lessik together, and has allowed for the rapid industrialisation of the Lansassh. The Lansa’Gatak has been the crossroads of northern and southern Moghes for much of history.

	Sundar are typically lithe and appear far more athletic than most other Unathi, although actual athleticism may vary. They were typically ambush predators inhabiting the expansive jungles of Southern Moghes, something their light form factor helps with quite a lot. Even in the modern day they still prefer to take up an occupation in hunting. They have adapted venom-tipped claws, which historically were used in hunting. While Sundar are immune to each other's venom, other Unathi are more susceptible, though it is not lethal, and instead produced a mild euphoric high. As such, there is a strange and lucrative market for Sundar'Sint, refined Sundar venom. Sundar Venom is typically harmless to humans, but refined Sundar'Sint can cause highs and trips. Excessive consumption of Sint is presumably fatal, as no human has yet tried to find out.

	The Tzeg’Unathi are the most divergent from baseline Unathi, having come to inhabit the mountainous lands of the Tzegi, comparable to Earth’s Tibetan Plateau and Tarim Basin. Despite being woefully unsuited for these climates, Tzeg biology refused to submit, and they have adapted to these conditions by becoming less cold-blooded, and growing feathers on their ankles, wrists, and across their shoulders, neck, the back of their head, and down their tail. These feathers are typically gray or white, but this has not stopped the Tzeg from colouring these feathers themselves, adorned with fancy patterns and features. Their scales come in a variety of tones, typically darker shades.

	The largest Tzeg nation is the Tzeg’Katal, a united federation that seeks to bring prosperity to the region. The harsh conditions of the Tzegi have forced them into close relations and reliances, but modernisation has led to many of the decentralised and isolated states seeking to express its own identity.

	Yeosa have backwards fangs, with four maxillaries capable of injecting venom into their prey. They are adapted to swimming underwater for either bursts of speed, such as when hunting prey;, or slower long-distance swims, such as traversing the shallow seas between the islands. In terms of skin colour, Yeosa tend to possess darker colour scales.		Yeosa have backwards fangs, with four maxillaries capable of injecting venom into their prey.

	Fishing was their primary source of food and as such they evolved to be great swimmers, as before tool use came into play, they had to catch their fish by hand.

	Unathi society is as diverse as it is historic, with traditions and cultures that can trace their roots back thousands of years. Unlike humanity, in which agriculture and farming took widespread hold, the Unathi, carnivorous and incapable of consuming plants, have a history rooted in nomadic pastoralism and hunter-gatherers. Writing developed as a means of tracking herds, which soon gave ways to complex systems of trade, long before the first cities were ever founded.
