MOROCHEY -- #74


 


"Brother" and "Sister"

Rikana and Anastasia, though they've conformed to their roles in the new world, they still come from the old one. During The Forging, Sterling may have broken some taboos, but he still honored many traditions.

One tradition was the idea that your Master and fellow students were your foster-family. It comes from the practice of passing down Morochey secrets from one generation to the next. Eventually, this practice evolved into a system of formal adoption of students.

The tradition of adoption made it possible for large clans to survive throughout the ages. It allowed for biodiversity in the populations, while still maintaining a central family-like structure in Morochey communities.

Adoption is deeply ingrained in Morochey culture.  The creation myths in Insights of Oracle even say that The World adopted the human race, and several life forms in the beginning. Though some clans adopt more prolifically than others, and many are wary of adopting clanless Outsiders, the practice is still considered a sacred rite.
