This story revolves around a fiction alien race. Because these creatures are of my own creation, I find it necessary to give some background on them so you, my wonderful reader, are not so confused. For those of you who don’t wish for me to give a lot of detail, I will give a quick run down. For anyone who actually likes a lot of detail, hang in there, because it’s all just below the list below.
The Absolute Basics of Qintarre Culture
- You'll find me using three terms when referring to this species: Qintar, Qintari, and Qintarre. Simply put, Qintar is the name of the race and the plural term. Qintari is the singular of Qintar. Lastly, Qintarre means "of the people". To make matters even simpler, I compare it to the use of "elf", "elves", and "elvish". In this case, elf would be Qintari, elves is Qintar, and Qintarre is most comparable to elvish or elven.
- While I won't fully reveal the appearance of the Qintar just yet, I will reveal some things about it. The Qintari are almost twice the size of humans (ranging from 8-10ft tall), four armed, bipedal, and very gaunt. They are also semi-aquatic.
- The Qintar are a species in which both sexes are equal in ability, but the females are dominant in the higher classes. This is mainly due to the rareness of females.
- Religion is such a major aspect of Qintarre lives that they have a hierocracy, which is a government run by priests. The priests that lead this space empire are the Sibyls or high priestesses, and there's four of them. They are Vigor, Justice, Mercy, and Serenity.
Now, this is all you need to know to at least start the story. More might be added at some time later. If you are uninterested in more in depth explanations, please skip ahead to the next chapter.
