World Culture

There are some who say that the Aslan here are overly influenced by the Humans and the Inyx, placing business ahead of honour. They are not part of the Aslan Hierate, being Tahiwihteakhtau, but many clans, Hierate and otherwise, rely on them to supply and support the endless stream of pioneers, ihatei and other settler-explorers heading rimward.
