Coming Of Age

It is the 30^th day of the year of togh llhèv, 38^th cycle of the second era. Stardate 2562269 point 5. The sky over the Regulan province of Lhán-Ghar is beautiful shades of violet, the sun a cool red as it falls below the mountain dominated horizon, so far away on this evening in late spring. The vast meadow is sparsely dotted with massive off-white coloured homesteads made of arching walls and protruding spheres, of which many of the largest are transparent. Each homestead belongs to a single vallhán, each tens of kilometers apart from the other, irregularly dividing the province by seven. Further dotting each of the vallhán’s territories are clusters of buildings in similar architectural style, though each a mere fraction of the main homesteads. Punctuating the countryside are the smallest structures. Each no more than six meters in circumference, these wanderer’s houses are common in all provinces throughout Regulus V. For though Caitians find comfort and strength in their prides, they are still prone to wandering and taking long tracts of time to themselves.
