| The Kataletia are descendants of the tribal [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetia]] who, earlier, had been expelled from the fertile lands of Tradarda upon the unification of the [[races:elves:vaathara|Nephara]] into a new state, though the Kataletia did not identify themselves as such upon this event; instead, it took an age for the many peoples of Grecyda to unite, and so the Kataletia themselves have many places of origin throughout the vast, desert region of Grecyda. Accordingly, their people descend from many different cultures of being, and only with the stability and law granted by the empire could they become identifiably similar in custom and tradition.\\ | The Kataletia are descendants of the tribal [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetia]] who, earlier, had been expelled from the fertile lands of Tradarda upon the unification of the [[races:elves:vaathara|Nephara]] into a new state, though the Kataletia did not identify themselves as such upon this event; instead, it took an age for the many peoples of Grecyda to unite, and so the Kataletia themselves have many places of origin throughout the vast, desert region of Grecyda.

| Of these tribes, there were six whose word and legends remain known into the present age, and these are professed by scholars to be the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:teletia:start|Teletia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:vespetia:start|Vespetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:minetia:start|Minetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:aldetia:start|Aldetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:najetia:start|Najetia]], and the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:fajraetia:start|Fajraetia]]. From the Teletia came a certain architectural sophistication as they had built their civilization on the ruins of the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:makhetia|Makhetia]]; from the Vespetia, came the acknowledgement of beauty and their females as desiring, lustful creatures; the Minetia, nautical affairs and diplomacy; the Aldetia, warcraft; the Najetia, astronomy; and most importantly, from the Fajraetia came tradition and the worship of the Elohad. | Of these tribes, there were six whose word and legends remain known into the present age, and these are professed by scholars to be the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:teletia:start|Teletia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:vespetia:start|Vespetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:minetia:start|Minetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:aldetia:start|Aldetia]], the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:najetia:start|Najetia]], and the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:fajraetia:start|Fajraetia]].

| The Kataletia, as a set of collective peoples, believe in the divinity of the sun as that which had given rise and plenitude to the land of [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]] in ancient times. From the sun was crowned [[pantheons:deities:solara|Solara]], and it was her life force and energy that had descended onto the mortal plane so that it might prosper with abundance. Then, Solara sanctified six other spirits of the world she had bore so that they might know her light, and these became the [[pantheons:class:elohad|Elohad]]; from the Elohad, there was founded a worship of them among the ancestors of the Kataletia, all ways of entrance into the light as a result of the goddess of the sun having given a path of ascension to these spirits. Thus, the Kataletia were allowed to ascend too, and they could know Solara for themselves.\\ | The Kataletia, as a set of collective peoples, believe in the divinity of the sun as that which had given rise and plenitude to the land of [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]] in ancient times.
