Tefireane

Ancient set of rules governing daily life for the Rafi including:
 * how food is to be prepared
 * how home trees are to be chosen
 * how mates are to be chosen
 * how children are to be raised
 * wwhen, where, and what to wear for specific groups
 * how leaders are to be chosen
 * how responsibility and obligation are assigned

Was strictly enforced in ancient times, reaching peak prominence in the early Feudal Period. It lost popularity in the Imperial Age as the culture went through an agricultural revolution and the old tribal lifestyle fell out of favor. It experienced a resurgence in Western Marafire during the Second Tribal Period and continues to be the cultural foundation in more isolated kutu especially.

Certain aspects have been recycled various times in various ways over the centuries, especially for political reasons. Most pick and choose which rules to follow and which to ignore, and take it as cultural suggestion rather than religious decree as was originally intended back when these principles were vital for survival.

The Nuesemu tend to be much stricter adherents and live much more traditional lifestyles.
