Culture
The agedness of the Cerothean race has contributed to theirs being a rich and colorful culture, with many unusual customs.

If a Cerothean soldier is slain in battle, his equipment is usually reclaimed by the state. However, the family of the deceased may petition the state to keep his/her articles. If no such petition is made, the equipment is broken down into its constituent parts. In the case of metal items, they are melted, separated into the constituent metals (if the item contains multiple metals), and cast into ingots, and secreted away in a great vault. They are kept in this way until they are once again needed.
