The Moartianians Ethnicity in The Angellonian Sagas | World Anvil

The Moartianians

The Moadakm are the descendants of Moartia himself, being the only tribe to use psionic powers: able to move things with their minds, can telepathically speak to others and read, hear, see and feel the thoughts of one's heart making them nearly impossible to deceive. They train from an early age to use their powers for good and to be skilled in the power of what they call "the eighth sight". They are mainly found on the continent of Wirwiwak'Ladir with their cousin tribe of the Spartianians, in monasteries where they learn to harness their powers and worship "The Divine Father" in their own temples that are Moadakm and Spadakm only.

Ideals

Courtship Ideals

When a Male wants to marry a female he will put on a display by using his psionic powers to move around objects or the elements and charm her. if she accepts then the male will have to be accepted by her patriarch by showing his skill of psionics and determine if he is well trained enough to portect her and is safe to be around. If the Patriarch believes that he is trained enough then he gives them his blessing and the male and female will begin to court and be accompanied by her father or brothers. then after some time has passed they will declare their wedding and the female's sisters or handmaidens or mother will prepare for the ceremony and the male's brothers, father or friends will prepare for it as well but the male's family will do more of rituals and perform psionic powers while the female's family will do more of the decorating and making the wedding garments for the bride and bridegroom. Then the male's family and female's family will become acquainted and exchange gifts and even perform a friendly competition of their levels of psionic powers. before the day of the wedding, the male and female will not see each other until that day they become married. and finally on the day lf the wedding the male's and female's family will surround them in an octagon shape on the male's family's land and then an Angellonian Priest will offer a sacrifice for their atonement and for the Moadakm he will also have the male and female give an offering of incenses and to throw into the flames so that the smoke will spiritually sanctify them. and then he will have them recite their vows and after all of this he officially declare them married. and then the males will then perform a ritualistic dance and use their psionics to control an element of the husband's choosing.

Relationship Ideals

They are monagomous and only remarry when one of the party is unfaithful or abandons the other.   Platonically they prefer to make friends with non-chaotic people, those who are peaceful and don't cause stress or strife.
