 Inspired by the ecology of Lor the Lmanel caste seeks to emulate the strength and versatility of nature embracing the unique strengths and adaptations of the individual resulting in the diversity of the Lmanel way of life. By and far the most apparent trait of the caste the cultivation of the individual to benefit the whole begins at an early age as every Lmanel is encouraged experiment to find that which they excel at, urged to pursue their passions and talents and find what they can best offer to the community. This journey is taken both personally as well as with the influence of family and mentor figures who serve as guides and advisors providing the wisdom of experience to help each Lmanel pursue the path which is right for them. This journey eventually results in the Lmanel being introduced to several species compatible to their disposition in preparation for the selection and bonding which takes place during the aspectation ritual where in the Lmanel will take upon some of the traits of their chosen partner and provide a small boon of intelligence to the chosen animal. Inspired by the ecology of Lor the Lmanel caste seeks to emulate the strength and versatility of nature embracing the unique strengths and adaptations of the individual resulting in the diversity of the Lmanel way of life.

 This choice of aspectation is one of the greatest influences on Lmanel life dictating the needs, behaviors, and choices of an individual to varying extents depending on their dedication to their chosen animal. As a result of this at the most basic level Lmanel housing tends to be eclectic in design due to the need at times to address differing needs of aspectations resulting in homes which may have either open brightly lit floor plans or warren-like sub-terrain dwellings or a mixture of both. These living conditions and life philosophies are often in flux adapted to suit the needs of new generations as well as new social connections existing between families.  This choice of aspectation is one of the greatest influences on Lmanel life dictating the needs, behaviors, and choices of an individual to varying extents depending on their dedication to their chosen animal.

Respecting the wisdom born of experience elders of a given family unit are usually asked take up the role of leadership, providing advice, guidance, and direction for the other members of the family. As a result of the interdependent and mutually supportive structure of Lmanel households domestic tasks and child rearing is most often divided between all members of a household with the work split evenly to the benefit of all members.

 +A core facet of the Lmanel caste is their adherence to a set of shamanistic beliefs which are integrated with their worship the Goddess and God. The Lmanel caste's method of worship consists of many rituals observing events in nature often giving thanks to the Goddess for the natural world and for the bounties it has provided. Outside of their personal faith the Lmanel are often present in positions of active worship enjoying opportunities to not only revere the Goddess but to help others embrace the Faith. To this end Lmanel frequently make their way into the Lorath church settling into positions such as priests, friars, and nuns where they can devote themselves to the Goddess as well as spread her teachings to others.
