| They don't have a formal religion, but they do speak reverentially of the force they believe allows them to form Groves - called the Tal. It's not a god as such, and it dictates nothing for them behavior-wise. They don't personify it either, choosing to simply revere the idea of it. | | They don't have a formal religion, but they do speak reverentially of the force they believe allows them to form Groves - called the Tal.

| Nusriza live communally in collections of unrelated families called [[Throng|Throngs]]. They usually share there unique buildings that rise above the clouds, designed with entrances for the winged young to come and go. When an individual reaches age 17 after the period the quickening, they are initiated into Nusrizan culture through a ritual known as the [[Seventeen Mirrors]], a two day even in which seventeen individuals honestly critique the individual on the first day and extol his or her virtues on the next.

| Their native language, Nusrizan, is perhaps the most complex vocal language in the [[Starmourn Sector]]. It possesses not only fourteen unique tones, but involves subtle hand motions to produces various inflections. Their range makes Nusriza excellent singers, and competitions are one of their most favored forms of entertainment. They were able to attain spaceflight only 24,000 years ago and are experts in sensor technology.

| The Nusriza are ruled by a dynastic monarchy ruled by a [[Tajhan]] that has changed lineages on occasion throughout their history. However for a long time, the true power on [[Frixion VI]] lied with the religious establishment of Echanism which worshiped a warrior god called Echanine. This religion held the race back in many ways, prohibiting fraternization with other races impeding trade and cultural advance, and banning the use of heretical [[Kith|kith]] powers. When the people became disenchanted with Echanism and the Schism relegated the religious to the minority, their culture began to grow once more. They allied themselves with several other races to form the powerful Song Dominion and began to practice both [[Star Kith|star kith]] and [[Void Kith|void kith]].
