Tegos is the Homeworld to the Arkyonitan civilisation. The Arkyonitan civilisation comprises of enclaves of Exgetilians, with majority of the common people are of the Aesladic race. The Arkyonitans are, as they call it, "Fornory tes co Arkyonite", the people of the Arkyonite. They are a dominantly devout society that follow the organised religion of the Arkance, or the Way (of the Arkyonite).
They follow a rather rigid social caste system, mostly religious. However, everyone is allowed to mix with members of the other castes, regardless of superiority. There is one thing that is stringent though, is that if a member of a lower caste offends a member of higher caste, the latter has every right to punish the lower caste. Not obsessively though, because after all, everyone is a creation of the Arkyonites (their gods). The mixing of social castes has only 1 exception, and that is with the exiles.
Other than being a devout society, the Arkyonitans are renowned for being magnanimous and caring as a whole. They are one of the brightest minds of the universe and thus, one of the most technologically advanced societies. This is uncommon for most devout races as usually, either the technological or the religious growth would be very much hindered due to the conflicting ideologies and values.
This problem of conflicting values has so far always been solved by the reason: "The Arkyonites (gods) gave us the power to change and the power to make our own choices! Why should we be constricted because a few of us think that it is wrong? If the Arkyonites granted us the power to be able to do so, we wouldn't be playing as the gods themselves! Even though we may have the power to sin, he also gave us the power to follow the Arkane Commandments. If we were to be denied of this growth and improvement but not stated as one of the deadly sins."

Social Hierarchies of the Arkyonitan
The High Council of the Enclave
This is the highest of any of the social hierarchies of the Arkyonitans.
The High Council of Enclaves consist of 3 popes from each of the 3 main branches of organization: Technology, Arkance and Law. They are: The Professor, The Prophet and the Prosecutor. The prophet is ranked the highest of the 3 because it is, after all, a devout society where it is only natural that the pope of the religion should be the head of the civilization.
The 3 popes are traditionally of only Exgetilian races. There are however, exceptions found within the archives of historical sources, where at least 1 Aeslada have actually risen to the power of a pope.
The Exiles and The Outcastes
These come from those who have:
- disobeyed direct orders from the High Council of the Enclave itself;
- broken one of the few fatal taboos/sins
- been considered as 'unclean' or 'beyond remedy'
- dabbled with any other cult
- chosen the path of self exile
- done any combination of the above
Races of Tegos
The Exgetilian Enclave - a Prophetic Race
They are essentially the brains of the race.
The Exgetilians play a mostly prophetic role in the Arkance. As a result, most of the Exgetilians are of the upper class of the social hierarchy.
The Aesladic Templars - Zealots of the Arkance
The brawn of the race
The Aeslada play a mostly militant role in the Arkance. Their goal is to protect, preserve and uphold the Arkance's ideals, as well as the high council of the Enclave
