Galileans

The Galileans are an ethnic group of humanoids from Galilea on Quadrilore. They were part of the modern human race on their planet that evolved after their climate changed dramatically. After the climate became more stable, the Galileans isolated themselves in what became Galilea, fostering a community of understanding and connections, even after they separated into different factions and nations.

Naming Traditions

Feminine names

Galileans use feminine names if the children are female. Most male Galileans don't take on feminine names unless they want to later on in life.

Masculine names

Galileans use masculine names if the children are males. However, some females are given masculine names when they are born and others choose a more masculine-sounding name depending on which faction they belong to.

Unisex names

Galileans are also given unisex names since their range of names allows that option.

Family names

Galileans normally have one paternal family name at the end of their full name. Since Galileans can rebirth, they traditionally take on their new father's name, too. Sometimes, parents give their children two surnames that result in a double-barrelled surname. Adopted children take on the name of their adoptive parents.

Other names

Most Galileans have second and third names after their given name. It's common to have three names but less common to have two or one. Having over four names in a person's name is seen as absurd.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

The major language of Galilea is Galilean, which is a dead language as most people have forgotten it after escaping Quadrilore. The dialects depended on where the Galileans are found on Quadrilore. Posher dialects were spoken in the northwest, which was where the Shadowhunters were mainly.

Common Dress code

Galileans were known to dress in dark hues with coloured lines on top of their clothes. The lines were commonly found on the cloaks that they wore. The coloured lines represented their colour identity, and what colours their powers made when they used them.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Galileans mainly uphold beauty standards that are slightly impossible to achieve, but they don't instil this into their culture.

Major organizations

Although the Galileans make up one of the largest Humanoid ethnic groups, they still have a large number of factions, most of which were destroyed on Quadrilore. Some of these included Shadowhunters, the Raiders, the illegal Pirates faction and many more.
