Givosion- Givosion culture is one that centers itself on the basis of war. Each man is a warrior from birth, and is raised as one. At the age of 6 his father begins to train him in the basics of hand to hand combat; and prepare him for his provings. It is common for brothers to be pitted against each other to prove dominance. By the age of 15 each child
Cekopi- Givosion's have long practiced the art of "Slavery", known as Cekopi in Givious (Servitude) where a criminal, war captive, or a debtor would be put into servitude; or sold into a demi-slavery. The person would act as a house servant, normally to a wealthy noble or a well standing warrior, workers in laborious jobs, and other tasks. The people under this are still protected by having rights of a lower class and having a contract with their owner. War captives and "harder" criminals can be pressed into slavery of manual labor or even into the Legion of the Damned.
The person(s) are provided with food, accommodation, clothing, and all other basic needs of any person, however for some it is considered less than the average.
Slavery in time of war however changes ten fold, in that each warrior gains a set amount of slaves from the population, be it they be warriors, civilians, or even children. The slaves still have rights, many similar to those of the Givos slaves but can be bought and sold as property rather than having a contract with their owner.
