Editing Quest:Hive Queen Quest (section)

==== Ralighan ====
Natives of Raligha, these creatures show a fervent religious belief and strong cultural values as well as fierce dedication to tradition. Their bodies are round leathery gourds with a set of inflatable air sacs that are puffed up and drummed upon to communicate. They see through the use of a ring of small eyes on either side of their drum sacs, and possess ten limbs arranged like the spokes of two wheels on either side of them. Each limb ends in what appears to be two hands facing eachother like a pincer and ending in three digits each. They move by rolling along the ground or within the canopy of their forests, with their mouths located along the side, in the 'hub' between one of the wheels of arms. When sitting they will often sit sideways to have the mouth facing up. Their ears are internal, meaning they must listen with a series of developed bones within several of their limbs, and as such can always be seen to anchor themselves to the ground or a tree. They are very primitive hunter gatherers, and have no concept of agriculture or industry, however their fervent belief that the hive is an omnipotent god race results in them regularly offering food and other organic matter, increasing nutrient production.

Their culture is very tribal, with a focus on family lines and heredity. It is customary to exchange newly born children among neighboring tribes, which both cements alliances and helps to diversify the gene pool. They have no cultural distinction between blood relative and adoptive relative, and their family lines follow a series of adoptive sons without regard to actual genetics. Most tribes and clans are nomadic, roaming the vast jungles and grasslands of the planet and living in the shadows of the Gardener's hive ruins, leaving them untouched as holy sites. The only major exception to this is the local tribe entrusted as a kind of clan of priests, who claim to have lived in the shadow of the mountain temple for as long as their oral history goes back. In the time you have been there, they have expanded their village into what is likely the first proper industry they have known, with countless tribal leaders and representatives making pilgrimages from far and wide to bring offerings, tokens of worship, and prayers to the priests at your hive entrance, where they lead the gathered natives in ceremonies of worship and food sacrifices. Your workers periodically collect these offerings to bolster local nutrient income, and the event is treated as a sign of good fortune that their god is appeased.
