Sukajin Elf

The Sukajin elves are native to the nation of Sukatein. Most worship a strange deity by the name of NekoKami, though their civilization actually predates his arrival by several thousand years. They adhere to a rigid social structure, and members of their society will rarely be able to elevate their social standing, unless they receive a divine blessing from NekoKami.

The top of the hierarchy is occupied by the priests and priestesses of NekoKami. While they are lower ranking than tibbit priestesses, they are of equal ranking to the Daimyos. Priests function in much the same way, except they may not directly talk to NekoKami.

Next are the samurai. there are various families of samurai each with their own standing compared to each other. The samurai act as the police and are the only ones,other than the Daimyos that carry Swords or other true weapons.Below them are merchants, scholars, artists, historians, which live mostly mundane lives. The lowest ranking are the farmers, which are the lowest class and under-respected, but are still acknowledged as a fundamental part of society. It is not a dishonor to be a farmer.

It as seen as honorable to stay in what ever part of the hierarchy one belongs to. those of lower ranking should address those of higher ranking with the appropriate greeting. those of higher rankings can point out honorifics, but can also just call someone by their name.More often than not, last names are used, unless both people are close.

The Sukajin elves have been in a long war with the Nezumibito, and the long war has caused them to remain mostly isolated. Other races have little desire to thrust themselves into a war, or to visit a nation where they may be attacked at any time.
