| LANGUAGE
|
|
People of Tawhito are used to have their own language. However, when people of Felaguria started to use one main language, the unique language for people of Tawhito became not so important and it even started to disturb, because their language did not had many words, which were used by the Felagurians, people of the Dark World, acording to the locals.
That is why Soronis were sent to the Four Kingdoms. They had to adapt to that Dark World and learn the language of Felaguria, bringing these knowledge for people of Tawhito.
That is why slowly, the old language was pushed into the background and new language became used among majority. After all, it was way more easier than original language of Tawhito.

| LEARNING

|
Muta (pl. Mutos, formed from the word "muta", which means "learning" in the old language of Tawhito) is the place, where all children of Tawhito gathers and try to learn the most important and common things. Each smaller village has one Muta and all children of that village go there.
Children are separated into different groups, according to their age and Uzo (pl. Uzas, would mean "lead" translating from the old language of Tawhito) teaches them for these most important and useful things. Uzo usually is the most clever and talented person in the village. The bigger villages sometimes have two Uzas, but not more.
Children are taught such things as herbology, math, language, astronomy, biology, philosophy, history. Some Uzas, who are talented in one or another form of art, teach the children of that art too, but usually children have to learn painting, drawing, singing, needlework from their parents, siblings or friends.
Children start to go to muta when they turn 10 years old and finish Muta usually when they turn 16 years old.

| SORONIS
|
|
Soronis (Soron (m), Sorona (f), Soronis (pl)) are the people, who are send into the Dark World, when they finish school to gather as many knowledge about specific Kingdoms as possible. Soronis is the word made out of "soro", what means - "follow" in the old language of Tawhito. It would be possible to call them as spies, but locals do not like this word. People believe that they are not spying on these, who were too weak to fight against the darker side of their hearts. They are just following them to see the right moment, when these people will be ready to come back to the true faith and light.
After all, the people of Tawhito have the only one and most important goal: Whole world must find a way back to the laws and rules given them by creators (Travellers). Then the peace will live in the Earth for eternity. Also, they have to keep other people from the disease named "Ochichiri" ("Darkness"), that they would be able to win against the darker side of their hearts.
They are not in a hurry though, they are walking in baby steps. After all, they are small and the Dark World is very huge. Many days will have to pass, before whole world will live like people of Tawhito.

| RELATIONSHIP
|
|
People of the Rumorous Island are allowed to marry anyone they love. They understand that if someone tries to disturb the lovers, many problems may arise. Many wars have been started because of love. So they try to avoid it and allow anyone to marry for love. If someone marries into the family of a Protector, however, they have to take the surname of that family. Otherwise, it's up to the couple, which family they join.
People of the Rumorous Island do not frown on the love between two men or two women, as long as the couple decide to devote their lives for each other, and marry.
Sexual relationships outside of marriage are considered one of the greatest sins. People may be banished from the Island as a result of such relationships. It's very dangerous to have a sexual relationship without marriage and for those who belong to the family of the Protectors. The Travelers decided that if people commit this sin, they lose the gift from their heart because they are not worth of it.
If someone marries another it is considered forever. Divorce are strictly forbidden, because what was blessed by the Travelers can't be separated. It would be to break an alliance between two hearts. Of course, there are some exceptions such as violence or sleeping with another, man or woman. Committing one of these sins the person has already broken the alliance, and divorce can be arranged. It still must get approval of Senate though. The one, who commits the sin and because of whom divorce is arranged, usually is banished from the island.
