			While Pre-Contact Moghes had hundreds of unique languages and their own histories, Sinta'Unathi has been and remains the primary language spoken by most Unathi. This language came about due to the prominence of the Izweski Nation and its impact on trade; it is an evolution of an older Moghean trade language, Sinta'Izwe. Many dialects exist, from the Torn City's Seawash to the Highborn tongue of capital, to even the rural Simplified dialect.

			The written language has 30 letters, with 5 of them being vowels. The language is written left to right and top to bottom, though this was an attempt to emulate humanity, as informal and less educated Sinta'Unathi still write right to left.

			Civilian technology at its finest, prior to First Contact, was similar to 21st-century human technology in the first couple of decades. Now, entering the intergalactic stage as an uplifted species, the Unathi are gradually seeing technology enter the mainstream that is common throughout the galaxy. However, the rural areas remain dilapidated and poor in quality of life compared to the cities, and although it is changing, the rate is not nearly as fast as the urban population.

	~~There are two different kinds~~ of ~~major lifestyles in Izweski~~. ~~There is~~ the city, ~~which is typically run~~ by a Clan Lord ~~(or even a Lord~~, ~~should~~ the ~~city~~ be ~~large enough) and a small council of lesser~~ clan ~~leaders (or Clan Lords~~, in the ~~case~~ of ~~a ruling Lord)~~. ~~City~~ life is ~~less harsh than life~~ in ~~the country due~~ to ~~access~~ to ~~modern equipment, medicine~~, and ~~trade, especially with opportunities provided by shuttle services to the rest of the galaxy~~.		Life in the rural areas is harsher, with cities being rare and life mostly determined by the size of a village and how well they can fish and hunt. Due to the distance from city centers, essential supplies like medicine are hard to come by locally and, more often than not, expensive. Access to domesticated threshbeasts allows for travel to nearby tradeposts, so even though such supplies are expensive to import, one can still obtain them if they have enough coin. These threshbeasts also allow those that work skilled labor to exchange information on techniques to work trades in the city.

			Each rural town generally has a radio so important news, orders from a Clan Lord, weather forecasts, and the like can be broadcasted to the clan leader in the village. Often times, over the radio is how many rural Unathi receive statements from Not'zar, and most have not seen a likeness of him.

			The most advanced aspect of life for rural clans is the aquaponics system, one that Hephaestus engineers have helped develop to maximize livability for fish in these farms. Most Lords and Clan Lords see to it these systems remain up to date as possible, else starvation and minimal profits will be turned from a given clan.

	~~Life in the rural areas is harsher, with cities being rare~~ and ~~life mostly determined by the size~~ of ~~a Clan's village and how well they can hunt, fish, or in desperate times, raid their neighbors~~. ~~It's~~ the ~~traditional Unathi life, made harsher by~~ the ~~growing Wasteland encroaching on once-fertile lands~~.		Urban and suburban locales have their own array of challenges. The guilds control nearly every aspect of the urban economy; they are the "megacorporations" of this world.

	Under the Hegemon are Overlords. They generally control large swathes of territory or bureaucratic functions in the name of the Izweski Hegemony, acting as a portion of the Hegemon's advisors; for example, there are currently five Overlords: two managing sections of the Hegemony itself, an Ouerean Overlord, the K'laxan ruler of Tret, and one for the various smaller colonies and territories. Overlords oversee their own Lords, rulers of different provinces. Unlike the Overlords, the Lords act more as vassals of regions under the Hegemon and the Overlords. A province may be an entire planet's development or one sprawling city metropolis depending on the population and settlement sizes of the province. Lords then appoint Clan Lords for different city districts, towns, and swathes of sparse rural lands. At the bottom are the clan leaders. Clan leaders are a mostly ceremonial title and make up usually the eldest male ruler of a specific family clan, though the larger and influential clans often hold more sway with Clan Lords.

Born as Nzra Vindek in 2437, the Marine Messiah was a frail child that had been blessed with azure scales. The Vindeks of Sai is a small rural clan that continues the old ways of aquaculture, living life as quietly as they could while bordering the Wastes. They became rustboys of a different variety after the war: the seashores were privy to scrap metal, which was reclaimed by the Vindek as they cleared out their fish dens, that they sold to the Hegemony for profit.

	An outing of three siblings, Nzra, his brother and his sister, made their way out to sea on a smaller boat to collect scrap floating in. However, the vessel was accosted by powerful spirits, or so the story goes. After thought to be long dead, Nzra washed up on the shore two days later, the rowboat intact. Barely alive, it was seen to already be a miracle of the spirits above. The recovery having finished though, Nzra started to speak strangely, claiming the sea had spared him to spread its message. He spoke vastly of former Kopesk Th'akh beliefs, such that the family and neighbors never exposed him to. It was said that this knowledge was instilled in him by the spirits, to help revive the rightful religion.

	At just the age of 11, Nzra took on the last name of Dramos'krutii, or "Storm Calmer." Due to the lack of proper Storm Heralds, the Marine Messiah has taken to traveling the Torn Cities to find disciples and train them as a new generation of Kopesk shamans. He has retained a following of seven though that he trusts as his closest that journey with him through the Wasteland.

For instance, a Sk'akh priest's interest outside of navigating legal channels would be promoting the Sk'akh faith in a positive light, making sure Sk'akh believers are not causing trouble, ensuring proper tithes are paid, and similar activities. A guildsman promotes their guild membership and benefits for joining; former healers endorse nearby Houses of Medicine and perhaps make sure a Unathi's working conditions are safe and healthy, especially in human space.

	Thankfully, Not'zar does not take after his father. Favoring shrewd and savvy politics, the Hegemon of Izweski has worked on undoing the political damage his father, S'kresti Izweski, had created by partaking in numerous wars with neighboring countries. The reformation back to a truly honorable state is a slow one, though no change worth going through is ever done quickly.		Thankfully, Not'zar does not take after his father.

	'''Shaman''' is the general term for any Unathite clergy; priests however are exclusively members of the established Sk'akh Church. Priests tend to own the land of their church which owes its fealty to the local Lord, making them a form of pseudo-nobility. They are granted many special protections that protect them from violence or land seizures. Priests own their respective churches and Lords are forbidden from collecting tax from them, pressing them into armed service, or seizing their lands. Their influence rivals that of secular Lords, and many priests are active participants in local politics and intrigue. Some shamans have a portion of the protections that priests do because of recent rulings by the Hegemony, and while shamans retain their rank in the caste system, they often do not have the direct power or wealth that priests have. Shamans often spend the better part of a decade studying, training, and gaining clout to get to their position and become independent from their teacher.
