| The ancient people of the Ethetia were known to have varied cultures due to the lack of unification of their various tribes, these tribes being scattered all across Tradarda, where they often partook in small squabbles over territory and practicing religion despite their affinity for the goodness which Solara espoused. It was these tribes of different thought that truly weakened the Ethetian people, allowing the unification of the elves and the subsequent expelling of their people to become successful. However, because of a constant theme in their beliefs of the veneration of the sun, known as the giver of life, they managed to reside alongside each other with few casualties and the destruction of their people.\\ | The ancient people of the Ethetia were known to have varied cultures due to the lack of unification of their various tribes, these tribes being scattered all across Tradarda, where they often partook in small squabbles over territory and practicing religion despite their affinity for the goodness which Solara espoused.

| - | Notably, the Ethetia of this time practiced the religion which crowned Solara as the creatrix of the cosmos, and thus, bore and codified her commandments to be observed among them. One of these commandments involved the practice of maintaining peace between tribes by exchanging their daughters for positive relations to the offending tribe, where the exchanged daughter could be regarded as both a hostage and an honorary guest, indicating all out war if the daughter were to be mutilated in any way. This specific commandment was supplied by Alarayna, a goddess of fertility and marriage who was believed to be one of the Elohad.\\ | + | Notably, the Ethetia of this time practiced the religion which crowned Solara as the creatrix of the cosmos, and thus, bore and codified her commandments to be observed among them.

| Though they do have this commandment of peace in place, their men are often admired for their propensity to engage in a playful yet contesting combat with the men of other tribes, such that male strength and virility is determined by this act. Thus, there are many events that take place between tribes, with the competition providing itself as a method to ensure that those unfit are not granted a role that is higher in society. Within tribes, there is still yet a determining method of strength, such that the strongest is granted the role of the chieftain of the tribe. | Though they do have this commandment of peace in place, their men are often admired for their propensity to engage in a playful yet contesting combat with the men of other tribes, such that male strength and virility is determined by this act.

| The men and women of this race are known for their broad skulls that yet manage to possess some sharpness to it, with many beauties having both high and extending cheekbones. Others still possess a wide face that may be seen as attractive, but are lacking in length in regards to the position of the eyes and mouth. Of the men, they oftentimes are muscular and sturdy, being that they wield the swords and weapons of warriors and fighters as learned arts among themselves. Women, on the other hand, are praised for their petite build, but there are some who still resemble more closely the muscular and strong build of their men. | The men and women of this race are known for their broad skulls that yet manage to possess some sharpness to it, with many beauties having both high and extending cheekbones.
