Than

Than

A Dai philosophy and core of their cultural understanding of life. Than is a concept of honor. Until 5022 it was not only earned but bestowed by peer. Until 5022 only male Dai could become Than. It has been a serious and difficult state to attain at first but has become just a ritualistic series of tests taken before the elders of a Tribe. Usually a Dai male, upon reaching the equivalent of 15 years of age takes the tests and is Dai Than. The Ancient laws however allow anyone to become Than, if that individual shows courage, skill and a rightgeous life style. Dai is the species, Than is a condition. The opposite is Okthi.
