Cultural Traits

Clannish, Laid back, Chauvinistic, Manipulative.

Practices

Adoption, Birth control, Sex (and prostitution) outside culture.

Taboos

Incest (very wide definition).

Family

Clan. Couples often live as married, but arrangements are casual and the responsibility of family is shared in the clan. Clan elders keep track of lineages and enforce the incest taboo, which is very deeply and subtly ingrained in the culture. Adoption, breeding outside the culture, and inter-clan transfer are seen as healthy ways to avoid incest problems.
