Erisan Information
The Erisians are a patriarchal society. The planet is an M class and most of the inhabitants live in small city states similar to those of ancient Greece and Rome on Earth. But that is where the similarities of life end. Each City State is ruled by a king and all king answer to the High Lord, who rules in the capital of Erisa.
The men rule this planet, and women are seen as nothing more then pawns in political games and useless unless bearing male children. This society is applying for federation membership. It gained warp capability in the federation year 2265. The issues the Federation have with the WOMEN not being treated equally is basically holding up full membership. The Erisians clothing is very old English, middle ages style, and their technology may have advanced to be near equal of some of the federation worlds, but they still hold true to the old ways of knights, swords and the like.

The Erisian System
The Ruling Family
Erisian Politics
The Politics of Erisan are rather ruthless.
There are four levels of 'government' as it were and they are:
The High Lord's Council - Chosen by the Current High Lord
The Ruling Kings Council - This Council is of the 6 ruling families
The High Council - Elected from the Council of Lords, 7 Members of the nobility, report to the Kings Council and to the High Lords Council.
The Council of Lords - A council of 50 Lords, Dukes, Earls from all over the planet, elected by their peers.
Yes you read that right. None of the levels of government are open to the Common person to elect or stand for election. A position on the council of Lords can be bought at the right price.. or if your opponant drops dead from some strange illness. This has happened more than once, and during times of elections (held once every 5 years) many sitting members on the council of Lords and the High Council wind up dead. *The Assassin's Guild makes a lot of money during this time*
Erisian Culture
As was previously mentioned, the Erisian Culture is patriachal. Men rule. Everything. Women are seen as bargining chips for politcal power and moving up in the world. Men control the Army, the Space Fleet, the Commercial Arena, the Religion everything.
The culture is also Feudal in the way that people live. There is the High Lord, for lack of a better word, the Emperor. Then there are the ruling kings, The Priesthood and Dukes are next in line, then the Earls and Lords beneath them then the Merchant class and then the Common class.Failure to comply with this system or to go against your father, husband, fiancee etc will result in harsh penalties for the Females of the world. Whippings of Women are common, as are mothers being placed in the stocks for failing to teach their daughters their place.
In the nobility daughters are bethrothed early, and married before they are 18. Sons are often married when they have completed Military Service (ages 15-25) and have had life experience.
High Born Boys get to go to School and they mostly go into the Military for 10 years as officers before taking up positions within the Noble class, unless they choose to stay in the Military (Most younger sons do or go into the priesthood)
High born Girls get tutored in basic household management and chores and married off.
Even the Common class boy gets a better education than high born girls and low born girls.
Most Common Class boys go into the Military unless they have been apprenticed to a Guild.
Low born girls are taught how to cook, clean, sew and do basic chores. If they are lucky they get hired as servants in great houses, if not then they marry a boy of their class, and have children or they fall into the underworld.
The Federation are trying to change this should Erisan want to join the Federation. This is hindering their application process greatly.
The Ruling Kings
The Erisian people are rulled in each region by Kings and within each of these 'City states' there are numerous Lords, Dukes, Earls etc.
There are currently 6 Ruling Kings, with one being the heir to the current High Lord They are:
King Pallas Lalor, of Hiran - He is the Representative to the High Kings's Council King Edward Mirenth, of Mir King James Lath, of Tirath- This king's alligance is murky at best. His daughter was among Princess Penelope's friends. King Jules M'Ligh of Yesth King George Wels, of the High Reach King Nathanial Laslor, of Sirth.- His son was bethrothed to Princess Penelope Lalor, and supposedly killed by her.These ruling families are spread out and most have 2 dukes beneath them with numerous Earls and Lords as well as Common folk in their regions.
The Lalors are the current ruling Family of the High Lords. The Captial of Erisa, is in it's own region, Erisant and is ruled by his Grace the Duke of Erisant, Miles Harri, who is also the Lord Chambelain to the Court. His family has ruled the region for centuries and are treated like kings. He does not however have a seat in the Ruling Kings Council, as the High Lord takes precedence over him.
In 2393, King Pallas Lalor suggested expanding their realm past their system (Which has one inhabital planet) to increase their infulence. This was agreed to in 2395, but they focused their attempts at colonisation deeper into wards the Gamma Quadrant rather than outwards towards the rest of the Alpha Quadrant as Erisia sits out past the Ferengi Alliance area, on the far side of the Black Cluster, near Breen SpaceErisan Religion
Erisan Religion is founded on the basis that 6 gods came down and created the world, and the people. Lord Jeremy Halls, High Priest of the Six Gods rules over the various priests who serve the 6 Gods. He is also on the High Lord's Council.
But there is a hidden cult, known as the Triadic Cult. They are against the mainstream religion. The High Priestess of this religion is not known to those outside it.
These are the main gods, and the vast majority of the people worship the six gods.
Burial:
Erisian tradition is normally burial in a crypt, or grave. Noble houses have large family crypts that have millenia of family members in it.
A body is normally embalmed and then burried. For Royals there is of course the state funeral and laying in state.
The Erisian's however are not burried whole. Their interal organs are removed, creamated and created into glass orbs or hearts which are given to family members for rememberence. There is only a small guild of glass blowers who are trainned in this way in each city or town. And even though it is expensive, families save for these items.
Biological Differences From Humans
Erisians look human. But they aren't.Some of their more obvious differences:
Their eyes have a rather unique function - They change color depending on their moods. More noticeably then in humans. For example, Brown eyes will go black if angry or amber if happy and laughing. Blue eyes will go Icy blue when angry, almost silver, and can go a deep sea blue if happy. Human doctors have determined that this is a form of Heterochromia. Erisians just consider it normal.
Their blood is more purple in tone than red, and they are limited to 3 different blood types. These types are:
T-A - Members of the Lalor family have this blood type. It is the most dominant blood type. T-B T-OMost Erirsians are left handed. Those who are right handed are rare and considered defective in the dark ages, now in the more modern era, they are just considered different.
Pregnancy gestation is 8 months. Not nine. Hard to say if mating with non Erisians will shorten or increase this timeline.
Not so obvious differences:
The Erisian Immune system works a lot like a human's but they are more resilient to common human ailments - like colds and flues. However they have a high number of cases of Xenopolycythemia with 1 in 50 adults being diagnosed with the illness. Since their contact with the federation, this illness has become non fatal. The Erisian pulse is strongest beneath their collar bone. Their Hearts have a small fifth chamber, which has no actual use in the current evolution of the race, but it is still there in the current day Erisians. Their ears look like human ears, but every once in a while, a child is born with ears which are pointed but curve backwards. These children are considered genetic throwbacks to one of two ancestral races that they say the modern day Erisians come from. They do not have Appendix nor do they have Tonsils. Their race evolved without them. Also, Adult Erisians do not get Wisdom teeth. There has been no known cases of Albinos in Erisian history. Erisians have 28 bones in their feet - two additional bones that brace between the Metatarsals of the last two toes. Erisians also have 2 less ribs than humans.Time
Erisians have a different time telling way. For Humans, a Standard day on Erisia is 28 Earth Hours, But for Erisians, a Standard day is 23 Kelti.
