Kedashi Queen

Even the young queens of the Kedashi would be considered ancient in the eyes of the short-lived fubarnii. Decades have passed since they flew with the swarms of other young frenu, when they survived their violent and dangerous childhoods and were chosen by the ancients. They forever gave up the dangerous freedom of the skies, instead choosing to live their long lives crawling amidst the canopy of the great forests, spawning generations of young frenu. The queens demand great respect from those they reign over. The kaopi serve unquestioningly, performing all that is asked of them in the hope that they will be chosen as a mate. The trebarnii will gladly die for their gods, with a select few braving the perilous climb to the nests to bring food and information. The young queens spend the long decades talking within their parliament nests and studying, eagerly awaiting news from the queens of other nests. Many guide their followers in creating expansive nests, or carry out long breeding programs to create the perfect plants, followers or even their own offspring over generations.

The Kiterak has a long and complex name that tells of her history and achievements. To the trebarnii she is a godlike immortal, their creator and ruler. They speak their name in tones of worship.

The Empire and Delgon have heard the trebarnii use the name, but have little understanding of what it means (not that the Empire or Delgon really credit the trebarnii with true intelligence…).

Younger queens have simpler names, but still long by fubarnii standards and quite possibly more fluid and varying than they would consider normal.

Any names the fubarnii use for the queens is an interpretation. The outsiders are also barely aware of the queens, certainly not appreciating their intelligence and unlikely to consider them as individuals.

A few potential names: Tarakek, Jatelik, Korekaa, Jokalitar, Ikerata, Orteleek. But those are of course inadequate translations!
