The repugnance to racial intermarriage in a
race - conscious society is a consequence of
existing social
divisions, which impose severe penalties upon persons who fail to respect them.
This
division of the planet cost the lives of many humans, and those that remain
exist as subservients, not only to the Daemons, but to the Beastfolk, the appointed masters of the fledgling human
race.
This spatial power relationship is generally observed as
existing within a hyper - segregated hierarchical power regime, characterized by socioeconomic
divisions defined by class categories or tribal based constructs, manifesting along bloodlines, ethnicity,
race, religion, political identity, language, and cultural traits.
