 Alcohol is not drank recreationally, rather the Rathenkans prefer hot, psychoactive drinks, with properties ranging from psionic enhancers to psychadelics to potent stimulents. These often come in the form of various tea and coffee like substances, often drank with some form of plant milk. Alcohol is not drank recreationally, rather the Rathenkans prefer hot, psychoactive drinks, with properties ranging from psionic enhancers to psychadelics to potent stimulents.

Line 54: Line 54:
 As the yolk is consumed, the tadpole grows to well over a foot long before beginning to develop legs between 8 and 18 months after birth.  Shortly after will come arms, and the head differentiating from the body.  Generally between 18 and 22 months after birth, the tail will be reabsorbed. and the child will climb out of the tank and take their first steps.  It is at this point that teaching of language, cultural norms, et cetera can begin, though most will already know most of the basics due to near constant psionic contact with the mother. As the yolk is consumed, the tadpole grows to well over a foot long before beginning to develop legs between 8 and 18 months after birth.  Shortly after will come arms, and the head differentiating from the body.  Generally between 18 and 22 months after birth, the tail will be reabsorbed. and the child will climb out of the tank and take their first steps.  It is at this point that teaching of language, cultural norms, et cetera can begin, though most will already know most of the basics due to near constant psionic contact with the mother.

-K’ai exchange genetic information psionically, which is then followed by a growth of reproductive organs. When the child is born, the reproductive organs are consumed by the body’s immune system.

 ==== Naming ==== ==== Naming ====
-Describe naming practices. Ideallythis section should make it easy for players to create names for their own player characters.+Names typically follow a specific syntaxas detailed below: 
 + 
 +**<Caste> <Name> ti <System of Birth> ka <Bondmate>'<Surname>** 
 + 
 +An example name would be: 
 +**Qrr'ti Jahara ti Hala'ao ka Wasa'haru** 
 + 
 +Which loosely translates to
 +**Leader Jahara born in Hala'ao bonded to Wasa of haru** 
 + 
 +A random name generator is present below: 
 + 
 +**{?Qrr'ta|Qrr'ti|Qrr'tok|Qrr'te|Qrr'to|Qrr'qak?} {?Tu|Ja|La|Ka|Lu|Ju|Ti|Vo|Ko|Ra|Ka|Ba?}{?la|ra|bu|tu|ta|ru|ba|za|ha|ka?}{?l|k|t|r|w|v|l?}{?a|u|e|o?} ti {?Hala'ao|Kala’Ao|Kala’Ita|Vala’Ita|Tula’Ita|Hala’Ita|Geta’Ita?} ka {?Tu|Ja|La|Ka|Lu|Ju|Ti|Vo|Ko|Ra|Ka|Ba|Wa?}{?la|ra|bu|tu|ta|ru|ba|za|ha|ka|sa?}{?l|k|t|r|w|v|l?}{?a|u|e|o?}'{?haru|at|kat|lat|it|kot|sot|sit?}**
