 The Fatar are a matriarchal society, whose leader bears the title of Ascendant. They are a limited meritocracy who places a great deal of importance on information gathering. The Fatar believe that information is power, and are the pre-eminent spies in Starmourn due to their shapeshifting ability.
-They are hated and despised by nearly all other races, and they return that hatred. They maintain no alliances other than the master-slave relationship they have with the [[Oteel]].

-They are a tribal society whose tribes seek to dominate other tribes through political maneuvering - open warfare hasn't been seen between Fatar in thousands of years. In this way, weak tribes become subjugated by stronger ones to whom they pay tribute, and perhaps eventually into which they are assimilated. This often leads to the formation of alliances between subordinate tribes to overthrow a dominant tribe. However, over the centuries five major tribes have risen above all others and leadership is effectively contested only among them.

 The Fatar are not generally religious, but there is a sect - the [[Desmognat]] - that still worships an ancient Fatar god called [[Desmo]]. As [[Desmo]] is a male god and this is a matriarchal society, those who are part of the Desmognat are considered freaks and outcasts.
