	The Helberme region is an umbrella term for the varying landscapes surrounding the thawing sea. It is dotted with fertile plains, temperate rainforests, and rolling hills. Due to the narrow shape of the thawing sea, the southern ice shelves on the other end of the ocean are visible.

The Helberme region is an umbrella term for the varying landscapes surrounding the thawing sea. It is dotted with fertile plains, temperate rainforests, and rolling hills. Due to the narrow shape of the thawing sea, the southern ice shelves on the other end of the ocean are visible. Helbermers are known for their creativity and ingenuity after generations of living in such a bountiful, yet inhospitable region. The Helberme is defined by light hot winds from the north and strong cold winds from the south. These winds often clash and create twisters in the flat plains. So most Helbermers tend to live in insulated hillsides or burrows.

Pooj: I added a lore segment on Temeric Society and Varn. These notes are a final draft of a shortened description of Varnese society. It also includes a description of kiith structure. While not all Varnese are Kiith Members, all Varnese use Temers in daily life. It is a universal symbol of identity and honor. It also covers Hiu-Temers (Symbolic Temers) which are worn off world because one’s Temer cannot leave his/her homeworld.

			'''Temeric Society (Sahahil Felinid)'''

			(Varnese Temerism)

			Overview: Temeric society is an isolated culture group exclusive to the world of Varn and her moon Ichyria. It is the custom of the Sahahil people.

			'''Sahahil:''' Sahahil are a subspecies of Felinid native to the world of Varn. While they are classified as such, the Sahahil actually share no genetic commonalities between Felinids and their Human ancestors. The Sahahil are instead the result of convergent evolution. They are often shorter and stockier than the usual Felinid. They have a few different features as well; sporting long, thick Blonde, Orange, or Red fur, larger eyes, often in shades of brownish-green, blueish-green, or light blue—lastly, Sahahil have large hands with non retractable—spoon like claws.

			'''Temers: What are They?'''

			Temeric society can best be described as stubbornly nostalgic. They believe in the cyclical elements of life. As a result of these beliefs, and centuries of isolation, the Temer was born.

			A Temer is a long scarf/cloak. It serves as the first gift from mother and father to child, and is initially used as an infant’s swaddle. The garb symbolizes one’s individuality, and simultaneously one’s inseparable and tight knit bond to his or her family.

			Every Temer is unique, hand woven by both parents. They are accompanied by ornate patterns that tell the life story of the wearer.

			While it is generally forbidden for temers to be present offworld, temeric peoples tend to wear single colored scarves.

			'''Each color indicating which region they hail from.'''

			'''White: Mihilyow: En. “Brightland”'''

			The Sub-Polar regions of the northern hemisphere. They are separated from the polar sea by the Kurykyso caldera. Mihilyowers are famed for their craftsmanship and architecture. They have a fondness for stained glass and use it often in their architecture. The Mihilyow is home to the famous “Sundial Homes”. Sundial homes are large round burrows which have their roofs exposed to the surface. Large, thick glass windows are placed over the rafters, allowing a small amount of light in while keeping the home cool and insulated from the brutal heat above. Mihilyowers tend to be less pragmatic than most Sahahil, preferring style over functionality.

			'''Blue: Vorhu-Mors: En. “Polar Sea”'''

			A large crater sea on Varn’s North Pole. Roughly the size of the Aral Sea. It is the hottest place on Varn. Known for its humidity and fertility. Those from Vorhu-Mors are natural fisherman and sailors. They love to explore and their maritime skills have made them exceptionally cautious pilots. Most Varnese pilots are either from Vorhu-Mors or the Levyma-Mors: ''En. “Thawing Sea”'' of the Helberme.

			'''Yellow: Syomyow: En. “Betweenlands”'''

			The Syomyow large band of black sand deserts and fertile river basins. Most rivers flow north towards the Mihilyow. Syomyowers have a long history of riverboating, canal digging, and groundwater farming. They love all things sour and often zest the meat they eat with a dash of lemon juice. The Syomyowers are avid hunters as well, and never shy away from a chase. This reputation as hunters and trackers has extended into the world of law enforcement and detective work.

			'''Red: Helberme: En. “Towerwind”'''

			The Helberme region is an umbrella term for the varying landscapes surrounding the thawing sea. It is dotted with fertile plains, temperate rainforests, and rolling hills. Due to the narrow shape of the thawing sea, the southern ice shelves on the other end of the ocean are visible. Helbermers are known for their creativity and ingenuity after generations of living in such a bountiful, yet inhospitable region.

			'''Green: Gandon: En. “Highgreen”'''

			A large mountain range that stems from the southern Mihilyow and southeast through the Helberme. Its southern end stretches all the way down to the western side of the thawing sea. The Gandonese are a festive folk, they have over 200 holidays celebrated throughout the year, every day from May-August, they have a celebration for a certain harvest. The Gandonese also have an insatiable sweet tooth. They love cakes, ciders, candies, and just about anything you douse sugar on. They also enjoy fried organs, mainly hearts and lungs for a crunchy umami flavor.

			'''Varn: Land of Snow or Sun'''

			The Homeworld of Temeric Society and the Sahahil.

			Varn is the fifth planet in the Bast System and is orbited by two moons—Ichyria & Tylsim.

			Ichyria is the largest of two moons and has its own weak magnetosphere and atmosphere. In the present day, Ichyria has been completely terraformed and now is home to 400,000 Sahahil and around 16,000 humans.

			The planet Varn is called “Land of Snow or Sun” due to her tidally locked orbit with the Bast star, the sun of the Bast system. The constant exposure to sunlight in the northern hemisphere has left it extremely verdant and warm, whereas the south is covered in half mile high ice sheets, with small volcanic oasis scattered around the southern tundra. Nigh nobody lives in the south, those that due are often Helbermers on expeditions for the prized minerals found within these volcanic flats.

			Varnese Politics & The Kiithid System

			(While the Kiithid system is apart of Varn. You do not need to be a member of a kiith to be part of Temeric society)

			Varn herself has seen a very firm independence since reaching the stars. The planet falls under the Hiigaran Dominion, a small union of Kiithid worlds, and has a planetary autonomy treaty with Hiigara.

			The main “government” of Varn is known as the Rohtaja. It is a court and congress which addresses the affairs between different Kiiths. The Rohtaja is comprised of 395 Kiith-Sa (Kiith Faces), who address affairs between the Kiiths of Varn and Ichyria.

			The Kiithid System

			A kiith (plural: kiithid) is a family unit or House for the Hiigaran, and later Varnese, people. A member of a kiith is known as a kiithling. Kiithid vary enormously in terms of size, ranging from small family groups to alliances of hundreds of thousands of kiithlings. Kiithid nations are an arrangement of individuals based on shared ideals, sociopolitical alliances, bloodlines or a mixture of these factors.

			A hierarchy exists within a kiith and in the greater system of the kiithid. Originally individuals in kiithid were ranked according to seniority or experience; however, it is more common in the present to see kiith members ranked by merit, selflessness, and shows of initiative.

			The organization within the kiith consists of a primary family that makes important decisions and a second family that hears disputes and makes recommendations, followed by the groups of lesser families that have sworn allegiance to the primary family. The primary family, and by extension the leader of that family, is known as the "Kiith-Sa".
