Editing Keriokois Primeans (section)

== Morality ==
Keriokois virtue is rigidly enforced by its warrior culture. Fitness is an expectation, vice and slothfulness is a sign of grave weakness. In the earliest period of antiquity, the Keriokois practiced a brutal tradition of exile, particularly where moral conscience was offended. Families are expected to produce offspring for the betterment and strength of the Keriokois phalanxes, a colloquial description of their military that owes to their continental fame. As such, the strength of the family is placed above all other virtues. Adulterers are put to death, and marriages are often arranged between families of high status to maintain strong ties. Homosexual relationships are anathema to the Keriokois, and instances of such result in exile. A philosophical belief in the value of community, children are educated by city-established tutors in communal centers. Children dedicated to the military, designated as the Keriotiate, live in communal centers away from their family. Keriokois philosophy emphasizes the need for cohesion against spontaneity, unity above the individual. 

The Keriokois practice a form of slavery akin to that of the old Empire of the Elves. They enslave the weak, non Keriotiate of their population, as well as non-Primeans hailing from foreign lands. Old stories used to tell of Keriokois slaver bands roaming the Reveian Continent, taking captives from Lomeria and as far north as the Lower Heartlands. Before the Keriokois subjugation at the hands of the Elves, the Keriokois enslaved many of the Primeans who lived around them. 

Women are offered equal status in almost all matters, allowed even to compete with men in sports. While they are denied positions in the Keriotiate, they are permitted to join the girousia and even the Ephors if circumstances allow. 

Consumption is limited to alcohol, but to drink until inebriation is considered sinful. Still, the problem has afflicted the Keriokois people for some time. Drugs are seen with suspicion, and smoking is only undertaken in celebratory settings.
