Salutations, my curious congregation! Today we're going to be talking about the halflings of my setting, who mechanically aren't super different from normal halflings, but culturally are quite different.
CWs: I swear and engage in regular displays of irreverence.
The Oshka are a small species that travel around in fleets. The fleet you're raised in determines how you are educated and in most cases, your role in society. Their fleets often shift members around, though no one forgets where you came from.
There are five fleets, that don't usually travel around in a large mass of ships but every so often end up getting together when there are important meetings to be had or when it makes sense to do so for defensive purposes.
The fleets are as follows:
Aed’ai - Highborn, live in an upper society sort of way. Favor is like a currency to them. Where the upper echelons went.
Ber’ai - Craftsmen and builders. Inventive. Lots of gearworks and cutting edge technology.
Myr’ai - Mystics and scholars. They keep the records. Every fleet has representatives of the Myrai to keep the history.
Sin’ai - Spies and informers. Assassins as well, though they try not to advertise this.
Val’ai - Soldiers. Their fleet live like warriors. They are also the most likely to be rough with the taller species if only for the sake of not being looked down on.
The Oshka have the ability to share information with one another psionically and silent communication is a common tactic amongst them when dealing with other species, to avoid telegraphing what they're doing.
Fortune Favors,
