The Hyperborians have a Society and culture that is more down to their old home of Earth then any other Space-bore Nation in The Universe, not even The Shivans can compare to the Hyperborians.

The Grand Khan Caste: only one Hyperborian is in this caste, The Grand Khan.

The Pollitcal Caste: made up of Chiefs, Barons, lesser khans and other Pollitcal units, this is the caste that bows only to The Grand Khan and the Warrior caste

Hyperborian Tribes, Clans, Family and way of life.

The Hyperborian Tribes are mpre like Towns then nations in the Hyperborian Race. In fact, the Division is like this.

One Tribe = 60 Clans
One Clan = 20 Families

Clans are alliances of families that are made to help against another Clan, since Infighting Between Hyperborian Class do happen.

Families are lead by The Alpha Female, who rules the household like a Dictator. Clans are ruled by The Damiyo or Lord.

If one Clan loses a Clan against Clan war, The loseing Clans Daughter, who must be a Virgin, must submint to The son of the wining clan and let him take her virginty. They must be both around 12 years of age, No Younger. Then once the act is done, they are both thrown out for a whole year. Alone with each other, clanless.

The Hyperborians are a Warrior Race who thinks Conquest and War are the way to Glory and Honor. They are heavy on Honor and it is a Hyperborian saying that a Dishonorble enemy is to be wiped out.

Incest among Brothers and Sisters is common, along with Lesbianism, Homosexualy among males doesn't happen.

The Hyperborian way of marrage is odd, They can get mated at 12 years of age. But what is odd that if you make love to another Hyperborian, you are Legaly Mates for life, only Death can end it. After makeing love, The Mates will have a Ceremony with a Female Shaman of Jam-Murkai, Goddess of Love. the Mates strip off and enter the waters of a Lake, Pond, river or any body of water. Then They are groped by The She-shaman in all places, then the two mates make love again, ending The Ceremony (Which is done with only The She-Shaman and The mates.)

Another Part of the Marrage rules is that before even makeing love, The two lover have to battle each other, till The Female is Defeated.

War and Conquest are part of Hyperborian Culture as much as Eating is to all life. The Warrior Caste worship two gods, Hachiman and Yim-Bakura. These Two War Gods were said to have started the Warrior Caste.
