Social Heirarchy:
Predominantly Communal in nature, the society of the Zor is united under a single religion. It has no name, as there is no need to distinguish it from others, but is the following of the almighty creato esLi, aligned against esGau'u the destroyer. Below that, there is a High priest with a direct link to esLi, and uses this dream link to guide the council of the eleven priests of the eleven nests, as well as the Speaker for the Young Ones to their decisions. He holds the most power, but any priest can negate him as long as he is not speaking from the holy dreams. Each priest has a High Lord who serves their order through the nests' Wings, as the leader of the forces for that nest. These are the ones who lead assaults. Below these are the Lords, who control the defense forces for a single planet.

Culture
Save for the Priests and the Speaker, who each have an aide, all Zor are perfectly equal, no matter the task. All space is shared, there are many communal gardens, ket by those interested in them, full of flora both exotic and mundane, as well as many perches and stone benches for Zor'en to linger. There is always a torus in the very center of these circular gardens, dedicated to prayer and meditation. Child raising is a full community activity. When a Zor'en is born, it is taken to a Hatchery, where it grows with others of the same age, learning about the universe around it from wisened teachers, and becomes part of the society there, before it can even fly. They learn that the Hegemony is greater than any one Zor'en, no matter how important.
