Gerenians do not engage or perform manual labour, The Gerenian High King rules as titular head of the senate. The Senate is made up primarily of Cyr’lean’s and tribunes of the Gerenian caste. The Cyr’lean’s are the nobles of Atlantis. Until the Gerenians took power they were the ruling caste and had kings. The last Cyr’lean king was deposed and the Gerenian King became High King to set himself above the nobles. Gerenians and Cyr’lean share a similar level of power in Atlantean culture. Nearly on par with the two highest castes are the Akradei, the priesthood of Atlantis. The priesthood of Atlantis is a homogenous group that worship a variety of gods; though Atlas is clearly revered above the others. Directly beneath these three castes are the Natess and Bomata. The Natess caste consists of various guilds of Merchants, Engineers and Architects. The Akradei, and Natess have limited seating in the senate but do have voting rights. The lowest castes include the Bomata, Dum’tæn and Revians; none of them hold seats on the senator have voting rights. The Bomata are hunters and trackers, they hold a high standing but are exempt from the senate and do not vote. The Dum’tæn are the labourers and barely reside above serfdom. The Revians are considered as a sub-race that is cultish and is bred as assassins. Their elders answer directly to the High King. Offlanders are cast members that live outside of Atlantis but are true blooded to their castes.
