==Culture== Little is known about this race, though they are known to be natural cave dwellers, with a propensity for small, low furniture and loose hessian-like cloth draperies. Their spiritual beliefs seem to centre around the mystical, with a deep respect for their elders and the words of their ancestors, much like some of the [[wikipedia:pagan|"pagan"]] religions of ancient [[Earth]].<ref>[[Ruling from the Tomb]]</ref> Central to this belief is a profound reverence for "the stones", a method of divination done by casting specially marked stones, whose outcome is interpreted to show what is in store for their people. For the stones to all come up blank is considered to be the worst possible sign, signalling oblivion. In a tradition similar to the [[Minbari]] tradition of "[[going to the sea]]", when an elder reaches the end of their life they leave the village alone for a lone vigil called the "Journey into Night". They sit and await the guide who comes to take the dying; their life turns from twilight into night and they "see the stars".<ref name=PotS />
