Summary
The elven people known as the xarakai are known for two things: first, for their mastery of planar travel, as demonstrated by their multiverse-spanning voyages, carried out in massive, high-(magi-)tech ships the size of cities; and second, for the peculiarities of their society, in which some are marked to lead, some to follow; and some, to submit.
Mitha Iralsthar, until recently an ordinary human, signed up as a passenger on a xarakai ship because he was interested in the first part — but the second part has turned out to be far more than he was prepared for, now that he's been marked as x'anam, the lowest of the three ranks, and one that comes with many expectations — but also, with its own unique rewards.
(AKA: An original, mostly-D&D-compatible culture with strong alpha/beta/omega dynamics, and an unfortunate — or perhaps fortunate — human who gets to find out how it all works first-hand.)
