Additional Information
Social Structure
Amet ranking does have a familial connection in that each family is given a rank as opposed to each person is given a rank. This familial rank is decided by taking the average power of each Amet in the family tree currently alive. Part of being an Aurea is the ability to sense others of your kind, each Amet has a distinctive aura unique to them that displays their power to others of their kind it is not visible but sensed. An unclassified band of elder Aurea is in charge of determining the average for the family and ranking is carried out every 10 years. In other words, every 10 years the band of elders visits each Aurea home gathers the Amet together and by reading their combined aura places them in the ranks. This is how they determine who is the Royal Family, who are the nobles, and who are the common folk. Once that is determined each of the noble families including the royal family send out all Amets aged older than 10 for individual ranking based once again on auras, a noble family's child can be ranked higher than the child of the king and queen, this ranking merely establishes a linkage to the Bellators as all top 20 most power noble Amets receive a partner Bellator who is their personal guard and closest advisor, the most powerful pair, in other words, the number 1 of each species are the generals of the army and thus command the entire Bellator species. 5 years after each ranking of the Amets the commoner children aged older than 10 are allowed a chance to alter the ranking of the noble Amet children. Once again it is established by the aura.

History
Said to be descended from the ancient Dasdranian gods they are held in high regard and are the rulers of Dasdra, though by no means the only species. It is said they were sent by the gods to punish the human rulers of Dasdra who had led the nation to disarray, they descended from the mountains along the border between Dasdra and Wesjwadvan and entered the then capital Resvi. After taking the city and seizing control of the nation they moved the capital to a more secure location and named it Rastva. They learned the common tongue of the Dasdranians but continued to speak to each other in their own dialect of the language, a dialect that only they know so as to better contain secrets. They have ruled ever since.
