	In any society, there are jobs considered “dirty” or “unclean” that need to be done anyway. This is no different for the Tajara, but these jobs usually lie outside the ethnic caste system. For the desperate and/or shunned however, these jobs may be the only option available to them. What jobs are considered “dirty” is dependent on the region, religious views, and culture. Typical jobs however have included latrine cleaning, street washing, fish gutting, or gravedigging. This isn’t all-encompassing however, with such jobs as ropemaking or grain milling cited as some examples considered “tainted” historically in isolated regions. More dangerous tasks with a low life expectancy also fell to them in the absence of forced labor, including cinnabar and salt mining.

M'sai Culture

	M’sai have long made up the martial roles of Tajaran society. Despite being frailer than the other ethnicities, M’sai were placed into these roles as an extension of their long-standing presence as hunters and capability of surviving the Adhomian wilderness for longer. Regardless, M’sai define the cultural views of the military and law enforcement. Within the caste system, they fill the role of violence. Enforcers, soldiers, hunters, bounty hunters, and so on. Within these fields, M’sai dominate not just as the worker, but as the leader. Many military officers are M’sai, alongside the police chiefs and other such roles. As modern technology and concepts spread and take root in Tajaran society, M’sai have begun moving into the sciences as research and martial roles entwine further. Forensics, weapons research, tesla technology, and all manner of roles have seen a large shift in the presence of M’sai.		M’sai have long made up the martial roles of Tajaran society.

As modern technology and concepts spread and take root in Tajaran society, M’sai have begun moving into the sciences as research and martial roles entwine further. Forensics, weapons research, tesla technology, and all manner of roles have seen a large shift in the presence of M’sai.

	Alongside the martial roles of M’sai, the majority of ranchers and frontiersmen are made up of M’sai. During times of peace, or when noble enforcers were sized down, M’sai commonly took up similar work to Zhan-Khazan or left for the wilderness to ranch or hunt. As a result, the M’sai and Zhan-Khazan communities share much in common. Family values, camaraderie, and loyalty to community are all concepts adopted by the Zhan communities. Among the ethnicities, the highest rate of cross-ethnic relationships exist between M’sai and Zhan-Khazan.

	The cultural contributions of M’sai are wrongfully considered unimpactful by most scholars. The concepts of duty and service originate from M’sai culture. The original ideas that make up Adhomian environmentalism come from ancient M’sai spiritualism, which respected the land and animals. The structure of modern militaries, the expectations and duties, come from old M’sai practices within hunting bands. The values of duty to leadership are results of Njarir influence of M’sai enforcers, forming the modern concepts of service to state and duty to the people. In many ways, the cultural image of the soldier or law enforcement is inextricably tied with M’sai. Additionally, thanks to the traditions of M’sai frontiersmen and ranchers, the idea of the Tajaran frontier is one featuring M’sai. It has taken off exponentially with the introduction of movies to Adhomai, with entire genres of frontier films portraying the noble M’sai marshal or the M’sai frontiersman fighting against the odds.

	Siik'maas and Siik'tajr were always widely used by M'sai, but the body-focused language of Nal'rasan was their creation. Because the mrowling and vocal expressions of Siik'maas could sometimes alert prey to their presence and drive them away, hunting parties adopted this language to prevent such a thing from occurring. Rebel sects saw the use of this language and made use of it for covert discussions and the transmission of highly classified information before and during the First Revolution.

	Since the First Revolution, the Hharar have been found to hold positions of middle or high wealth in the Tajaran society, owing to their intellectual capabilities. They often are described as loyal workers who are passionate and not afraid to voice their opinions. Given their history as the plutocracy's major workforce, they are typically well-rounded individuals with more appreciation for the Tajaran traditions.

Given their history as the plutocracy's major workforce, they are typically well-rounded individuals with more appreciation for the Tajaran traditions.

			While not as strict or defined as Njarir'Akhran, the Hharar have certain gender expectations caused by their presence in the urban centers and proximity to the nobility. Men are tasked with educating the children and holding intellectual positions. Women deal with finances and work in craft-related jobs. In rural Hharar families, the work in the field is a masculine task while female Tajara deal with the domestic chores. Household decisions were usually decided through the consensus of both partners.

	Like all other Tajara, Siik'maas and Siik'tajr are the 'official' language of the Zhan-Khazan, but they were the inventors of the lesser dialect of Delvahhi.

			Out of all ethnicities, the Zhan-Khazan have no defined gender roles. Due to their historical roles as a labor caste, both male and female Zhan worked alongside in the same duties. There are no expectations related to gender in the field of work, education, or household decisions. The only differences are some clothing worn during casual and formal situations.

	Siik'maas was the widely spoken language of Njarir, though amongst themselves they preferred to use the Ya'ssa dialect. Presumed to be the traditional language of the nobility, it uses a more refined alphabet and speech pattern believed to have evolved from a less-used ancient language. Hadii members have been recorded to still use this language, though ultimately with the widespread annihilation of noble families, this language has fallen into disuse until its revival by the New Kingdom of Adhomai.

			Largely inspired by their religious origins, gender roles among the Njarir'Akhran are the most well-defined and strict. Men are tasked with being the head of their household, usually as they were the rulers of the states before the revolution. Njarir traditional occupations, such as politics, military command, and sciences, are considered male tasks. Women were involved in education, the arts, and raising children. However, female rulers are known through history, with some of them adopting male titles and mannerisms.

	*'''Albinism:''' manifesting similarly to the other species, Tajara with albinism will suffer a severe lack of coloration in the fur and eyes. Before the First Revolution, those who were born with this disorder were usually considered to be displaced M’sai, either as the result of infidelity or by divine intervention. Most albino Tajara were handed to M’sai families or the local temple. Followers of Ma’ta’ke would raise them to become Mata’ke priests as albinism is deemed a blessing by the pantheon’s head. The Church of S'rand'marr trained its albino orphans to become copyist priests: this way they would avoid the harsh sunlight by staying inside the candle-lit libraries.		*'''Albinism:''' manifesting similarly to the other species, Tajara with albinism will suffer a severe lack of coloration in the fur and eyes.

Religious Tajara believed that Hakh'jar was the result of a curse or divine punishment directed at one's bloodline. Only recently prostheses tails have been developed to help remediate this condition.

	The Njarir'Akhran, or simply the Njarir, are the ethnic group that made up the majority of the plutocracy prior to the Great War. Their lineage can be traced from careful breeding between Hharar and M'sai, leading to where they currently are today. Following recent events on Adhomai, Njarir make up less than ten percent of the population, though reports see that number reducing slowly between honor killings and hate crimes given their close relation to the Tajaran nobility. Easily identifiable by their large ears, fluffy tails, luxurious fur, higher heights and slender, elegant features. Njarir suffer persecution and rejection from certain proponents of Tajaran society because of their bloodline.

Njarir suffer persecution and rejection from certain proponents of Tajaran society because of their bloodline.

	Historically, Njarir comprised almost the entirety of the Tajaran nobility. Efforts were made to keep noble lines purebred, even if it led to inbreeding in dynasties. Those who married outside of or slept outside of their ethnicity were generally disowned by their family and forced into peasant life~~. This accounts for practically all surviving Njarir outside of those in the Hadii family, who serve in important parts of the federal government~~. As the most learned of all Tajaran ethnic groups, they boast high intelligence and have a propensity towards the arts and sciences. Many have fled Adhomai only to be offered cushy jobs elsewhere working for the Alliance, other factions, or transstellar corporations. These individuals are looked down upon even more.

	In stark contrast to their brethren, Njarir tend toward very bright, colorful fur patterns. Typically, their fur color ranges from reddish browns to cream colors, and they do not generally have dark fur. Siamese patterns, as well as tortoiseshell or patched tabby patterns, were valued amongst Njarir bloodlines, and those with more intricate fur patterns were revered and admired by their fellow noblemen, and it was considered an attractive trait in a female. Despite all this, these patterns have been shown to be recessive genes in Njarir, and the most common fur pattern is simply stripes.

	Due to their history as the ruling class of the Tajara, many records pertaining to Njarir practices and culture were destroyed in acts of insubordination. This, coupled with the widespread burning of Njarir literature and the destruction of castles, villas, and chateaus, has led to a loss of critical information in ancient Njarir practices. What is known, however, is that only a handful of Njarir were ever part of the peasantry. As stated previously, keeping the bloodline pure was almost mandated amongst the noble dynasties and anyone who broke this rule was exiled to live as a peasant. Other stipulations were agreed upon to ensure the 'nobleness' of a family member. One could not marry a peasant, or involve themselves in peasant affairs unless it proved a problem to productivity.
