Tigra - Demon sect

[Xan]

Sect name: Tigra

Demon type: Tiger demons

What sets apart from other demon sects: The tigra demon sect is an unusual one due to its high respect towards women of its own kind. A young female tiger demon is first scouted for her looks, predominatly she must have snow white skin with ebony black stripes and molten eyes. Although expections have been made for females matching most of the description, after passing these tests she is then conditioned into being theperfect host for more children in hopes that they bear her looks. At the beginning of the training, the female demon is referred to as a Tiga, once she had completed the training she then becomes a fully fledged Tigalisa, the highest ranked female in this sect. The males who would gain a high rank in this sect must adhere to the appearance, of having brown skin with ebony black stipes and golden eyes. At the beginning of this training he is referred as a Seva, and once he completes it, he then becomes a Severa. A male 'Seva' may only gain the rank of Severa when he is chosen to protect the tiga by her parents. Such an honour is highly sought after and those who abuse the Tiga/Tigalisa are often so shamed of their actions that they will chose to take their life rather than live in shame. There has been one recording where a Severa refused to die because of his actions towards his Tigalisa. Records show that the male was torn apart by Seva would had been denied the honour of caring for the tigalisa.

The roles: The tigalisa's main duty is produce offpspring and depending on her hertiage [mother's rank] could then make her a Dohila, in otherwords a princess/queen,in which it becomes her duty to ensure the safetof the sect.
The Severa's main duty is protect the Tigalisa at all costs, even if it means giving up his life in order to save her's. he is trained the art of fighting and dipolmacy so he may also assist her during her time should she become leader of the sect.

Relationships: Relationships are a difficult one to explain. For one thing, the Severa is an advisor, a secret keeper and a lover to the tigalisa. From a young age, he is tuaght to respect the tigalisa's wishes and to9 serve her in any way she deems fit. Shuold she decide that he is not doing his job properly, he is then bound by duty to take his own life to so his family do not lose honour and become exiled from the sect. Exile from the sect means that the family is slaughtered to save the location of the village from unwanted guests.

Known locations: At present, the location of the Tigra sect is unknown and these details were gathered up from texts found in a cave guarded by some of these demons.
