The Kalama used to be one of the most private civilisations. They respected their culture and traditions more than anything else. This showed in their education system, family lives, and even, eventually, government. Each clan had their own priestess but there was always one who led all: a woman from the Adara Clan. Eventually, people began to go to the priestesses for more than just religion, culture and advice. They would go with legal issues and medical issues, anything wrong with the world in their eyes. Because of this, the priestesses began to rule, becoming the closest thing to royalty that the formerly equal and all-inclusive species had ever had.
Many Kalamani began to fight this. They had gone from each having an equal voice to practically having a queen. This was too similar to the faerie's way of doing things. Thus brought the beginning of the feud between Fay and Kalamani.
The high priestess was clever and a woman of the people. In a rapidly changing society, she knew that the Kalamani would have to brave the world outside of their comfortable little bubble soon enough, and so introduced groups for the different issues people were having. The healers, mainly men as they possess the stronger healing powers, the priestesses, predominantly women as they were better at overseeing things, and the Senate, Kalamani men and women who vote on how they believe justice should be served. Each group had its own leader who reported back to the high priestess. Her intelligence did not end here. High priestess Adara realised that this power could become too poisonous for some people and so she created the Namyola as a contingency: a farmer, a general and a peacekeeper. In the event of an idle or selfish leader, the Namyola were to save the Kalamani from drifting too far from their traditions and their views.

Hey, peaches!
Welcome to part 115!! (Genuinely unsure how we got this far...)
I was trying to work out how many acts there will be, and honestly, I don't know. I'm thinking maybe around 10?
Also, I'm going to start uploading each chapter when I've finished it and then I'll comment when I've finished the act. That way it's easier for me because I don't have to upload 20 chapters at a time, but if you want to read the act as a whole and not wait between chapters, then you can do that too! It's a win-win. Or a win-not lose... I dunno!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
