An Erbian is introduced by the following formula Title, Given Name, Surname, Academic Recognition. Political and Social title is not hereditary, but children of titled persons are more likely to have opportunities to pursue their educational titles from an early age. The Shil’vati recognition of hereditary titles does complicate the matter, although generally an untitled Erbian with a Shil’vati title but no Erbian educational title would be politely addressed by other Erbians without their Shil’vati title. | ||

| *There is a closed order of Erbian nuns who practice tattooing in the shell of the ear as a means of identification. The tattoos themselves are geometric and abstract in nature, but do correspond to general information other nuns can understand. Seniority, specialised skills, participation in major events, that sort of thing. A little like rank pins, a little like chest ribbons, a little like maori and inuit facial tattooing. \\ \\ The order pre-dates extra-planetary contact, and pre-dates the growth and establishment of widespread peace on the planet. Their monastic vows include a dedication to the site of their monastery, and thus they are by their vows forbidden from leaving. Information between the monasteries originally relied on the travel of novitiates who have not yet chosen their avowed home, and thus freely travel between the monasteries. Since the advent of wireless video calls, the monasteries have become more connected, as with the support of nearby settlements they can arrange video calls between monasteries.\\ \\ What is not generally known is that the tattoos are not limited to the ears, but in fact are also made in other places on the body. Those, however are usually places covered by their traditional uniforms. \\ \\ When the Shil’vati Imperium annexed Myr, this order of monastics struggled to comply with Shil’vati governance. Some monasteries were lost in the transition, as efforts to integrate and educate Erbians on Shil’vati law, taxes, and custom forced nuns to violate their vows and leave their dedicated areas. Those monasteries which survived largely did so either through a particularly compassionate Shil governess making concessions and accommodations for the nuns vows, or through the intercession of their Erbian communities in finding ways to comply with Shil edicts in unexpected ways that protected the nuns, their work, and their vows. | *There is a closed order of Erbian nuns who practice tattooing in the shell of the ear as a means of identification.

| *Erbians come in every color morph found in earth rabbits, which includes a Ruby-Eyed White variant, which can commonly be mistaken for albinism. Which means that between blue-eyed-white linked deafness, and the light sensitivity of true albinos, white Erbians were more commonly disabled by a small but noticeable margin in the warring period the choice to support or abandon disabled Erbians was one of general strife. With some strong gendered implications: a disabled female, particularly with a disability like deafness where a clear genetic and inheritable trait was present, would find it incredibly difficult to join a marriage. Some city states had laws discouraging, penalizing, or outright barring marriage for disabled does. In some states an undisclosed inheritable disability was grounds for divorcing a wife from a marriage, though the marriage. | *Erbians come in every color morph found in earth rabbits, which includes a Ruby-Eyed White variant, which can commonly be mistaken for albinism.
