Age of Shadow
Some FERA prefer Shadow.
The least likeable within would stay secretively denied,
Yet darkened desires are what lend Quests their fire,
Baring Shadow secures the native grounds for Change.

About Level 4: Claiming Imperatives
Social Conditioning starts generations before we are born and sets the stage for many of the core states that cycle through our bodies. As social beings we are the literal embodiments of the instincts of our ancestors.
Imperatives in FERUS TEL represent the unspoken rules that unite us viscerally with family members sharing the same ancestral line. From the outset, imperatives appear as directives toward a certain core value. These values orient us toward what seems a noble path.
Upon closer inspection, we see that each imperative is also correlated with underlying instinctual states that can limit our full emotional expression.
