“We’re very closed off, only really leaving the Nebula in very rare circumstances. In fact, where we’re going, you’ll probably be mistaken for a genetic experiment, since knowledge of Edhel is slim to none, and isn’t widely known. Almost every Serniani has a calling to some form of science. It’s almost ritualistic. Nobody really knows why.”
“Communally, Serniani couples usually don’t have children. We only have two trillion persons in the Directorate, since the glassing. Also, Serniani society is heavily matriarchal, politically, it’s a void, and we love our technology. Traditions are… Icky. It depends Station to Station, Planet to Planet. The descendants of Twenty Three Alfa, celebrate ‘Semaine du verre,’ the Week of Glass, to honor those who died there. Fleet Day is a major event, it’s a tradition that dates back to the water navies of Rosecordia. Religiously, most Serniani are atheists or Agnostic. The people of Nexus celebrate their own traditions, but I’ll leave that to Kelsie.”
“Not a lot on our end. Intergration Day is prevelent, but it isn’t celebrated universally. Rift Walkers do go to the Data Forge traditionally after their Trial in Eternity. Speaking of Eternity, that’s where Rift Walkers go to become Rift Walkers. Tradition dictates a year of preparation, then the trial of Eternity, which lasts ten days, but feels like forever, because you are forced to face every single fear of yours. Ah, but I sidetrack, those are the most prevalent.”
“You should tell us a little about Calerostan Culture, since we have you here. Sounds like a fair exchange for what we told you, right?”
