 While most Onivero who have close interaction with other folk train themselves to speak in a manner more palatable and understandable to non-Onivero, Onivero language in its natural state is rapid-fire and difficult to make sense of in the moment. They do not pause for punctuation in their words, instead speaking much like a telegraph. They also place adjectives and adverbs after the words they describe, and usually forego articles. For example, to mean //"I saw a large lizard on the beach. It quickly ran away to the north,"// an Onivero might say //"Saw lizard beach on large I stop ran north quickly away it stop"//.
-While Onivero have historically used the word "alien" to refer to any intelligent non-Onivero, more recent generations consider this an offensive term and prefer to use the same words to refer to other races that they use to refer to themselves. Onivero, having no concept of gender in a social sense, use one pronoun (usually translated as "we" or "they") to refer to themselves or others.

 The Onivero have a few folk superstitions and believe in spirits of the land, the sky, and the sea that suffuse the world and are responsible for many wondrous happenings. Due to this, they tend to get along quite well with [[lore:backgrounds:nomad|nomads.]] They also revere a mythological hero from antiquity, named Jaern. It is unknown if the planet is named after them, or if their title is that of the planet due to their widespread influence on Onivero culture.
+All three clans describe their afterlife as "the mist of spirits": a place of serenity where the dead can rest and wander. Modern planar theorists surmise that this mist refers to either the [[settings:planes:kurago|Kurago]] or the [[settings:planes:dreaming|Dreaming]]; some sort of spirit world. No one has yet found a place filled with Onivero spirits in either of these planes, however - but perhaps they are simply hiding.
