===Social Structure=== | |||
The Dezeld race as a whole are seperated into four distinctly individual subraces, each its own set of responsibilities to the race as a whole. | |||
The Kerinwy are the offspring of a Dezeldi and a Non-Dezeldi. They are recognized as members of the society, but beyond that have no rights other than what is given to the parents. Equal rights activists have had their concerns quelled, by the simple fact that every kerinwy is conciderd a child. As they go through natural genetic changes at maturity, they become a Dezeldi. | |||
The Dezeldi are responsible for the procreation of the race, and are required to find a non- Dracon mate. Two dezeldi seem to be incabable of bearing young together. | |||
Two Dezeld are capable of bearing young, however, the maturity rate for these is much longer han that of a Kerinwy, due to their longer lifespan. When a Dezeldi reaches near the end of the natural life span for their parent’s race, he or she begins a rapid, final change into a Dezeld. | |||
The Dezeld, are the highest level for one of the Dezeld race. Only a Dezeld can hold a position of authority within the society, with the exception of the Ambassador position, which is given to a Dezeldi or a Des who has blood ties to the target race. The Dezeld have no known limit to their lifespan, as their blood contains a copy of their DNA, and works to prevent genetic and cellular damage. However, it has been noted that the older a Dezeld gets, the more reckless they become. | |||
The Des (or Desa for a female) is the highest social rank. Even Dezeld respect the Des. They are Non-Dezeld, who have chosen a Dezeldi as a mate, and have through them, helped ensure the survival of the Dezeld Race. The first known Des was Rae Sterling, mate to the first Dezeldi Valareos Draconrouge. It is the custom of the Dracon to assign the title to the mate, and from there, respect the traditions of the Des' original race. The Des’ can choose, however, to take on a Dezeld name, as Rae chose to do. | |||
The name of a Dezeld is broken up into 3 Parts. First can be considered similar to Mr, or Mrs in common, it represents the social class, and color of the dragon, or in the Des’ case, the color of their mate. The second is a given name, and is their true name. The third shows who hey are mated to. Rae Sterling, therefore, became Desa’figret Fferyllt fi’Valareos, which means Lady of the Red Fferyllt, mate of Valareos. Valareos became Dezeldi’figret Valareos fi’Fferyllt. For identification with rank, only the second name is used, so Commander Sterling | |||
became Commander Fferyllt | |||
