Culture

Culture and cultural heritage

While the Cygnus R̂eg̈r̊ü are descendants of the R̂eg̈r̊ü Empire; they have explicitly turned away from the more exploitative and inequitable traditions of their parent culture.  Hùmüj̊ǁàdèm and àch̊ëṛǔtsě are afforded the same rights, and gëhàkh are recognized as full citizens and invited to participate in governance.  While the importance of personal honor is still a strongly-held cultural value, duels and other tests of that sort are explicitly disavowed. 
Unlike their imperial counterparts, the Cygnus R̂eg̈r̊ü view gëhàkh with a respect that at times approaches reverence; with their mistreatment considered a serious crime.

Common Dress code

Traditional formal clothing for R̂eg̈r̊ü are light, flowing robes over either a skirt (for hùmüj̊ǁàdèm) or wide-legged trousers (for àch̊ëṛǔtsě and gëhàkh).  Red and gold are the dominant colors.  Robes are heavily embroidered with images and motifs from nature; with the amount and intricacy increasing with the social status of the wearer. 
Outside of formal events or historical re-enactments, R̂eg̈r̊ü dress in a similar fashion to most other bipedal species in the galaxy, though transdimensional trousers are a must for hùmüj̊ǁàdèm, on account of their tentacles. 
Hair is frequent worn up, with members of the nobility and the higher tiers of the civil service almost uniformly wearing top-knots.

Art & Architecture

R̂eg̈r̊ü art and architecture are characterized by elegant lines and a predominance of reds and golds.

Coming of Age Rites

R̂eg̈r̊ü do not have a common coming-of-age rite for àch̊ëṛǔtsě, but for hùmüj̊ǁàdèm there is a yearly celebration for those who have produced their first clutch.  As part of this celebration, each müj̊ǁàdèm is expected to formally avow their dedication to integrity, respect, and consent.  Hùmüj̊ǁàdèm are generally given a token (a ring or pendant) inscribed with the date of their rite and the royal monogram to wear as a sign that they have entered into adulthood. 
Gëhàkh have a celebration thrown in their honor upon the successful hatching of their first child; with the size and exuberance of said celebration increasing with the number of viable hatchlings in the clutch.  Like hùmüj̊ǁàdèm, gëhàkh traditionally receive jewelry commemorating the occasion; typically a bracelet or anklet with space to inscribe the names and birth dates of future children.

Common Taboos

Creating (or causing someone to create) a hàkh without their informed, freely-given consent is considered to be one of the most dire crimes a R̂eg̈r̊ü can commit.
