 === Lmanel ===
-The shaman caste is complex in function being broadly caretakers. The Lmanel oversee the relationship between the Lorath, the natural world, the Helashio, and the dead. Lmanel are most often spiritual guides and try to seek a balance in all things leading to many of the Lmanel caste to make their way into the Matriarchy's clergy. More commonly Lmanel are found in roles of cultivation growing crops, tending to livestock, hunting, and providing natural resources for the rest of the Matriarchy. These pursuits often lend to the Lmanel being students of the natural world looking into the workings of the world around them and providing this knowledge to their peers both to guide their actions and to help the lorath as a whole. Due to their bond with animal life, especially the aspectation process Lmanel tend to differ in their exact outlook and point of view influenced by the behaviour of the animal to which they most closely relate. This tends to give the Lmanel Caste a varied and contrasting outlook leading to a rather balanced, patient, and accepting outlook. Conversely the Lmanel can be considered to be unnecessarily chaotic, or unrefined by others due to their lower need for structure and more naturalistic lifestyle.

 The disposition of the lorath as a people tends to make their interactions with foreign species a politely cool one, at least officially. The most obvious side effect of this outlook is the lorath establishment of special economic exchange zones which are typically the only places in which those foreign to the matriarchy are explicitly permitted. While foreigners are not forbidden from venturing outside of these zones, those who do are not guaranteed fair treatment and any harm that comes to stray foreigners is typically of little concern to the lorath.
-The stance of polite disinterest in foreigners is, softened somewhat by those who choose and succeed in settling within the Matriarchy's boders. Foreigners within lorath society are permitted to maintain their family habits, however, they are also encouraged to partake in civic involvement, community efforts, and integrate into lorath society. Those which tend to refrain from integrating into lorath society in a timely manner tend to be regarded as outsiders and treated as such until efforts are made by the foreigners to be accepted. Due to the highly social nature of the lorath as a people, this regard may turn into a stigma if unaddressed over a prolonged period of time potentially resulting in the boycotting of an individual or family making life within the Matriarchy quite difficult.

 Conversely foreigners who have taken steps to integrate fully within lorath culture, may earn a fondness and acceptance from the lorath as a people taking them in as 'one of their own.' This fondness includes those which have performed sufficient services to the Matriarchy to be granted a Lorath-Type body making the acceptance into the fold largely complete.
