Pera

**Peras**, or **Pediascriptis Xerus** are a feline humanoid species of Ps created from Perasite eggs that managed to fall out of Xera's body and evolved to survive separate from her. Peras have cat-like traits, such as ears, claw and tails. Not only that but Peras posse minor psionic abilities and elemental powers. The vast majority of the Pera race reside on their jungle homeworld of Xerexes II along with the Psens.

## Society and Culture

Pera society is extermly diverse, with the principal split between various groups, being generally both geographical and culturally. Pera society has it all, from farming settlements, coastal towns, fortresses, vast urban metropolises, small tribal villages and forest camps. The culture of the Peras is extremely diverse and can range from rustic folk of an austere lifestyle to the arrogant and autocratic-ruled masses of Psdonia. Originally the Peras were an thriving agricultural society on Xerexes II and held a deep loyalty to Xera and to an lesser extant, the God-King. This changed greatly soon after the ascension of the Pure Ps, with the Peras and Psens joining together under the authority of the Council of Eight, a group elected by them to make their society run simpler. Under their rules, female Peras were made to be simple breeders, with the infertile ones being used as envoys. Art and recreational practices became unnecessary, as was religious beliefs such as the worship of Xera becoming suppressed by law. Eventually the Council reformed society on Xerexes II into a collectivist state. After the disbanding of the Council and Xerexes II being annexed by the Holy Psdonia Empire, a renaissance occurred with art and music emerging along with reverence of not only Xera, but of God-King and that of the Divine Tree which became a national and religious icon which many Peras revere as a living personification of their creators. With the Treaty of Grair, the Xerexesite culture resurfaced.
