Bone Disc
The Bone Disc (or BD) is the citizenship tile, carved out of bone into the form of a disc. Every Syreni possessing it wears it at all times, tide with a cord either around the neck, waist or wrist. It has ones date of birth, parents/clan, species and profession. Everybody gets one at birth and it is never renewed only taken away when a Syreni choses to go black or is forced to. The confiscated Bone Disc are taken by the state and kept in case of them being reawarded to a 'reformed' Syreni.
Black Syreni don't copy a Bone Disc to get by because the forgery of citizenship is the only crime which penalty is death.
