Important Note / Disclaimer:
The world of Centerra, as presented in this setting, explores the concept of the Force. Within Centerra, the various races and micro cultures/religions use terms like interconnections and celestial energies to refer to the Force. These terms are interchangeable with 'The Force,' and their usage is intended to align with the cultural beliefs and identity of each group. It is important to understand that in Centerra, the Force is often perceived as magical or mystical, similar in thematic nature to the culture and region of the Ewoks. The terms employed in this context serve as a representation of the cultural portrayal and belief in the Force within Centerra.
The world of Centerra, within this setting, is deeply influenced by the Force, and Force anomalies occur frequently. These anomalies are manifestations of the planet's strong connection to 'cosmic energies' or Force Energies. The Stellar Convergence shapes the cultures and beliefs of Centerra, as it highlights the delicate balance between the Force and mortal existence. Please note that the portrayal of these Force-related anomalies is for imaginative purposes within this fictional world.
Their Ancestral afterlife is influenced by Force Ghosts.
Marbrecretians
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
History:
In the early days of Marbrecretian history, the desert tribes lived in isolation from each other. But then the Marbrecretians discovered a new source of water. A river flowed out of the mountains and ran across the desert. This river was the source of the Marbrecretians' wealth and prosperity.
At first, the Marbrecretian tribes fought among themselves over the new source of bounty the river's cool waters brought. But then they realized that they had to unite to defeat the common enemy, the Desert Horde. The Marbrecretian tribe that conquered the Desert Horde became the strongest tribe in the desert. And thus, the Marbrecretian Empire was born.
The Marbrecretians then built a great city in the center of the desert where the river pooled into a great oasis. This city was called the City of the Eos. In this city, the Marbrecretians built the largest temple in the Desert. This temple was the Temple of the Eos. It was built so that the Marbrecretian Kaiser could worship the sun. The Kaisers believed that the sun would bring them victory in battle.
This desert Nation of the Marbrecrectian Empire rests in the Whispering Badlands. Today it is an absolute authority with Elected leaders chosen through feats of renown through combat and skill.
Cultural Development:
The desert nation of the Whispering Badlands is known for its vast deserts and large population of nomadic tribes. The desert is a dry, hot place where the sun beats down on the sand for days at a time. The people of the desert live a simple life, but they are tough and resourceful. Their culture is one of hardship and survival. They do not rely on technology or technology-based systems for their needs; instead, they rely on their own two hands and the skills they have learned over the years.
The Marbrecretian's believe that life is a struggle. They see the desert as a place of challenge and survival. They live by the same principles as the animals in the desert; they survive by their wits and their physical strength. Their culture is harsh, and they tend to be very competitive with one another. A Marbrecretian warrior might choose to fight with a sword, or he may choose to fight barehanded. He may fight with a bow and arrow, or he may use his own two hands to fight. Each warrior chooses the weapons and fighting style that best suits him. This is true of the warriors of the Marbrecretian army as well. A Marbrecretian soldier fights with whatever weapon is available to him at the time. If he has a gun, he uses that weapon. If he has a knife, he uses that knife. If he has a bow and arrow, he uses that bow and arrow.
Their society is also a meritocracy. Those who excel in battle are rewarded with positions of power and authority. The less able or skilled are shunned and mocked. The strong rule the weak, and the poor serve the rich. This system allows them to survive in the harsh desert environment.
Marbrecretes are incredibly protective of their young, especially their female children. Marbrecretians send the male children to be taught how to hunt and fight by their fathers, and the females take care of the younger children and care for the elderly.
Their family life often is one of struggle. Parents try to provide for their children, but sometimes they fail. Children must prove themselves worthy of the gift of life that has been given to them.
Marbrecretian children are often raised communally. They are taught basic survival skills and taught to fight when they become adults. Youngsters are expected to work hard for their parents and their tribe. There is little room for selfishness or laziness. Horn size is a good telltale sign of a Marbecretian's age. Marbrecretian's value education above all else. Education is seen as a way to improve oneself and one's position in society. Marbrecretian schools teach many subjects, including philosophy, history, martial arts, tactics, and language.
Marbrecretians marry very young. Once married, they usually stay together for life. They are a matriarchal, and patriarchal society. Women hold social power in their homes, and men respect women greatly. Women are the bringers of life and their role in the community is a vital one.
Marbrecretian culture has an extreme patriarchal slant and expectations of their men. Men are expected to be warriors, hunters, and protectors. They are also expected to take care of their families. If a man cannot do this, he will not be allowed back into the home
Marbrecretian culture is obsessed with honor. Honor is everything to them. They are fiercely loyal to their Kaiser, who is elected by his peers.
Religion:
The Marbrecretians' religion is a very militaristic one. Marbrecretians believe that they were created by the gods. They believe that they are special and that the rest of the universe was created just for them. They believe that their way of life is the only right one and that other ways are inferior. They believe that the Marbrecretian way of life is superior to any other. Their religion teaches that life should be lived by the sword. Life is a constant struggle for survival, and those who can win against all odds become the strongest. It is better to die with honor on the field of battle than to die of thirst in the desert. Their beliefs also extend to the afterlife. After death, they believe that one's spirit goes to the Hall of Ancestors, where it meets with one's ancestors. From there, they will be judged by their ancestors, and either given a reward or a punishment. Those who were deemed worthy will be allowed to join their ancestors in paradise. The unworthy will be condemned to wander the desert forever

Their society is matriarchal and patriarchal, with a focus on education and loyalty. Their religion is militaristic, believing in a paradise for those who die in battle. The Marbrecretians embody resilience and a relentless pursuit of strength.
The Marbrecretian civilization operates under a feudal system due to its hierarchical structure and the dominance of powerful landowners. The society is organized into a rigid social hierarchy, with the Kaiser at the top, followed by noble lords who control vast territories. The commoners, including farmers, artisans, and laborers, work the land and provide tribute to the nobility in exchange for protection and support.
For example, in Marbrecretian society, Lord Roderick, a powerful noble, owns a large estate that encompasses several villages. The villagers living on his land work as farmers, cultivating crops and raising livestock. In return for their labor and resources, they are granted protection and the right to live on the land. Lord Roderick collects taxes and tribute from the villagers to maintain his position of authority and power. The feudal system in Marbrecretia is characterized by a strong hierarchy, loyalty to the ruling class, and an exchange of services and resources for protection.

These people believe that if you die in battle, you will go to a paradise where you will spend eternity in the company of your ancestors. This is a powerful belief system for a group of people living in such a harsh and unforgiving place.
Marbrecretians believe that life is a test of strength. They see the desert as a place of trial. Life is difficult there, but if you can survive, you can make it anywhere.
- General behavior: Marbrecretians are hardy people, much like the creatures that live in the desert. They have little concern for the feelings of others.

They are fiercely proud and arrogant. They believe they are better than everyone else and do not hesitate to show it. They are strong in more ways than one and are sometimes considered cold or callous in nature. Marbrecretians have a fierce sense of loyalty. They will stand by their friends and allies, even if they know that those friends and allies are unworthy of their loyalty.
