Much about the culture that has developed inside the culture remains mysterious, but it is known that it has strongly defined gender roles, with men specializing in combative or directly productive trades (including the raiding forces), while women take care of the intellectual and managerial labor (including what there is of a civilian government).

Leaders

Qi'ra

Qi'ra is a beautiful and sophisticated woman with a gentle demeanor; to loyal subordinates and allies the appearance is real enough, but those who take it for weakness quickly discover that her apparent gentleness hides an underlying amoral ruthlessness. More than one would-be usurper has paid with their lives after letting their guard down at a crucial moment.
