And under that carved into the wood reads "hands to yourselves" Miras contribution Society & Races: - The Amazons: The ruling class of Irya. They possess the blood of ancient giants, making them significantly taller, broader, and vastly more muscular than normal humans. They are the supreme authority, the protectors, and the keepers. - Beastkin: Specifically Wolfkin, who serve as auxiliary scouts, trackers, and fierce frontline fighters. They are integrated into the Amazon military hierarchy, respected for their loyalty, enhanced senses, and vicious combat prowess. - Men: Extremely rare and physically much smaller than the Amazons. Due to their scarcity and lack of giant blood, men are barred from combat. Instead, gender roles are strictly reversed: men are prized citizens, married off to successful warriors to serve as stewards, builders, specialized craftsmen, and househusbands. Often men are shared between amazons because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. A man's collar always says the name of the clan frist and wife second. Government & Hierarchy: Irya is ruled by a council of regional Queens, all of whom swear absolute fealty to a single, supreme Queen Matriarch. Westward Keep is governed by one of these Queens, overseeing the elite military forces stationed there. Cultural Rules & Traditions (Courting & Marriage): When an Amazon is interested in a man the amazon will ask him to wear her clans collar. The color will bear the crest of her clan and shows all the other clans that this man is protected and off limits. Some relationships are monogamous but its rare due to women vastly outnumbered men about 40 to 1. Once the man accepts the collar and is absorbed into the clan they treat him like a treasure that other clans are going to want to steal. Because they will.
