Kâurvonai (Cultures)

This page describes how the Poku Saeruo Degonjo classify sentient beings, and how they interact with them and their polities. Kâurvonai literally means Way of the People, which is their term for a culture.

Terms for Races and Factions

  • Poku clan - Those of the Hidden Sun Clan are united in their cause to ensure their survival.
  • Poku'ka Empire - a greater Clan, organized, a nation.
  • Jugal prey - Races or ships that lack sufficient defenses and have poor fighting capabilities, which are deemed weak and therefore are classed as prey.
  • Lugaj predator - Races, groups or ships who possess formidable fighting capabilities, and who defend themselves well.
  • Poku'wumy ally - A term from the past, used for those races that the the Hidden Sun Clan has an alliance with. It has come back into use since the clan formed the YE 35 HSC - YSE Treaty.
  • Qourl enemy - This describes those races that the Hidden Sun Clan has open enmity against. Ones who the Tanoi (Council) has declared war against.

Meeting Strangers

When encountering an unknown species or faction, an individual member of the Clan may determine whether they think the stranger is predator, prey, or a force worthy of making into an ally. As long as their actions do not cause undue risk to the Clan, the member has the right to act as they see fit with regard to the stranger they meet. A wise Poku'vonai verifies the stranger is not an Ally, lest they harm the clan by offending or killing a member of the Ally's people.

It is acceptable to Hunt a stranger. It is honorable to extort prey, rather than simply attack them, and take by force what is theirs. Demands backed by threats of violence are acceptable in Clan culture, as is the taking of hostages. Hostages are treated as per the Ra-alu Jyaon (Prisoner Rules), and may be ransomed, or turned into Râyjo Vonai (Bound People).

Current Formal Relations

At present the Poku Saeruo Degonjo has formal relations with two governments.

Current Informal Relations

  • Poku Saeruo Vakâme (Clan of the Sun Sleep (Sunset)) New Dusk Conclave - The Clan considers itself to have friendly relations with the New Dusk Conclave.2)
