This piece will probably have minute violence (at least reference it) and might not be without swearing in the future. It is rated PG for the time being, but has the possibility of going up.

This is being used to help me out with my little side project: compiling Namekku-go into a usable constructed language.

It's a textbook written for Katatsu-sei that explains the Namekku-sei-jin home world before everyone had to evacuate. Since Katatsu-sei isn't entirely inhabited by Namekku-sei-jin, it is written from the POV of a scholar from outside the race.

Before you begin reading, you should be aware that it describes Namekku-sei-jin as having both male and female genders (it's not exactly against the show; I will explain it eventually).

The History of Namekku-sei

A Study into Ante-Clades Namekku-sei-jin Culture

By: Mod'naro Eganosurept et al.

Chapter 1: Introduction

With the huge population of Namekku-sei-jin in our vast universe, to the point where it's nearly impossible to walk the streets of any civilized world without running into one of them, it seems beyond comprehension that this race was nearly made extinct by their own loved native-world from which they gain their name. However, that's only the last of Namekku-sei's vast and colorful history ante-clades. This peaceful, overly fertile people have among the most complex and eclectic pasts ever attributed to a single species.

Many a race's evolution was affected by forms of magic, particularly the Demon races (which the Namekku-sei-jin are among), which are attributed with the bipedal form as often as any other race, but Namekku-sei was in a perplexing situation, as it was one of the few naturally formed planets with a high level of such energy. Their evolution was entirely struck to mold by this guiding line. It's now believed that they might have developed from an amphibious lizard that was found only on their planet.

Their pre-history is suspected to be one of the shortest in any of our modern cultures, as it didn't take long for them after they took their bipedal form to form written language. Most civilizations have difficulties embracing sorcery, holding high skepticism towards it after technology begins to grow, but for them, it came along side and assisted with their pursuit of knowledge, being one of the few races that actually began and continued the study of Sorcery as a science that to them is as dignified as Chemistry or Biology. Because of this, they allowed themselves to develop quickly, understanding physics that were beyond the comprehension of scientists elsewhere.

Their written language was formed in the need to write something down for posterity and simple future reference, since the spells that they worked on were so complex and had so many variables that they were difficult to memorize and repeat later. There was very little evolution in this written language, since a committee of the people's highest magicians chose the symbols. This basic committee has chosen any and all new words or letters entered into the language until the beginning of the War of the High Clans, where they were slaughtered and declared as tools for old rule.

The Namekku-sei-jin were always known as a race close to nature, no matter how advanced they became, which was often attributed to their peaceful attitude. The magic between all life on the planet and the planet itself produced an aura of understanding and equanimity. It is not to say that every man, woman, child, and fish gave each other no strife or violence, but there is a scholarly and philosophical acceptance of the power of nature rather than constant attempt to control nature.

Their closeness to nature is also connected to their incredible fertility, that very attribute that makes the universe refer to the race as "the most tastefully sexual and reproductive species known on this side of the Red Stream". This is despite the fact that women are biologically more unlikely to be born. The tendency is that about 1 percent of the population has been female, 100 to 1. Because they are rare, Namek sub-cultures often practice polyandry (a form of polygamy where the woman has more than one male spouse), and the mothers often have as many children as possible in hopes of birthing a daughter of their own. Women are prized and valued members of their society, and to kill one is considered the highest of sins, whereas the killing of men is sometimes justified as helping quell the overpopulation. Their sexual drive is very strong as soon as they "come of age" (roughly puberty), when they begin to separate the sexes in school (and sometimes at home) until they've learned to control these urges as to not chance accidental impregnation.

There are two "types" of Namekku-sei-jin outside of male/female: The Warrior Types, the right hand of force, and the Healing Types, the left hand of balm. Not every Namek is one of these types especially, since the "type" is partially hereditary and most are mixed. These types are recognized early on, and sometimes the females seek particular men of these types, even down very precise mixes, to mate with them. This practice stems from a belief that if you coordinate a precise mix between mates, you will have a higher chance of birthing daughters.

With both Warrior and Healing Types, when one is mixed, the predominant type (which is dignified by how much percent they are; if they are equal, it tends to favor the genes supplied by the mother) can be trained as the skill of the Namekku-sei-jin, but only in that skill. A mixed tended towards Healer (or pure Healer) cannot fight (well) and a mixed towards Warrior (or pure Warrior) cannot heal (without medical equipment). These types are just another display of the Namekku-sei-jin Sorcery.

For those who are wondering, "ante-clades" is Latin for "before the disaster", like how we use "ante-bellum" (before the war) to describe the period before the Civil War.
Was it boring enough for you? XD This one is actually short because it's an introductory chapter. The rest will almost definitely be longer.
