[edit] Appearance
Some people of Basilíade either have a feline appearance with pointy, furry ears and cat-like noses and eyes. Elders may grow whiskers. Others look like normal humans, only with a bit different facial features. These people wear long robes, differently colored according to position: children and women wear white robes with blue belts, men wear green or brown robes with brown or green beltd and techers and masters where white robes with scarlet belts.
[edit] Buildings
The houses that have been shown are similar in structure to Japanese houses, with running see-through doors and wooden verandas. Some pyramids have also been shown; they seem to be part of the Sun's Gardens complex (see below).
[edit] Culture and Customs
The children of Basilíade are separated early from their parents. In the ceremony of the Great Light, they enter the Sun's Gardens, a academy where the children are trained in the art of combat. The Gardens are a big area, with two small twin columns with two linked suns in each of them at its entrance.
It seems Basilíadians split their time in ages and lunar years.
The Basilíadians seem to be simple people, all trained as tough warriors, and working mainly in agriculture.
[edit] History
It is known that Basilíade was once split into different groups of people (clans) , who fought against each other for many reasons. Pain and dispair ruled the world. Some mentioned clans are teh Shantha and the Asha. At one point, the fighting stopped and the people came together to form the peacefull world they are today.
