The Unbroken
Roshavan children are born in twin pairs, when only a single
child is birthed it is cosidered "Unbroken". The "Unbroken"
are a special class in most roshavan cultures. They are simply
the roshava that were born without a twin, but it's a cultural
belief that twins are "lesser" because one soul is split
between them, therefor the quality of each soul is inferior.
Because the Unbroken supposedly have one complete soul,
they are said to be closer to the Gods. Unfortunately this
belief system has brought a great class divide to their society.
The Unbroken are granted special privileges by their society
such as leadership positions that are not granted to the
"Split-Souls".
Peaceful People
The Roshava as a whole have never been at war, they almost
always exclude themselves even though they could be
extremely worthy adversaries/allies. They tend to settle any
quarrels they have via fair competition and spare the
bloodshed. In fact, the Roshava once mediated a peace that
ended a long war between rival tribes by organizing a
wrestling tournament for the two.
