The Stoinians didn't know what to think of them, even the Patriarch seemed perplexed. They all assumed they were some sort of caste base society, which was quite rare within all of Stoinian societies. Only the Shikokan culture had something similar, but one could easily change from caste however. It was a core ideal of the Stoinian Religious Reforms by the Philosopher-King Andrei I after all. Every Terran should be able to arise to the highest orders. While some clergical roles were still only allowed for males, the spirit of those reforms are still felt to this day. And if anyone felt it, it was the prideful Pontifex Gnaeus Barbatius Taurinus. He grazed his beard with his right hand after taking a sip of wine. Finally he stepped forward and reached out his hand, shaking his golden armbands in am effort to emulate the Sinthari spurs. His white toga coloured with red pattern seemingly imitated the Sinthari's skin colour.

"Pontifex Gnaeus Barbatius Taurinus. Forgive my curiosity, but might I inquire what these Kitsai and Mansatzis are exactly? Am I perhaps mistaken in assuming they are some sort of caste?"
