Culture

Bonding: A process in which two beings from different races are united. While not necessarily a form of love, They often act as guardians to one another. The act of bonding is more a mutual agreement that can be beneficial for both parties. However, sometimes it can be one sided as the servant must always obey the master.

Bonding bracelet: Used to signify a bond, though not just for looks. When glows it causes the servant to react. Orange is used to force a command, Red is to punish or torture, Blue is to combine thoughts and abilities, Green is to set a servant free of the bond, Yellow is to heal, Purple is for romantic or sexual requests, White is to summon, and black means the servant has died.

Animal folk: While their origin is not completely known, they are part of most of society. While many are used as slave labor, some tend to act almost as pets. Their rights are best described as mediocre, though some have become part of the government.

Marriage is not looked at as an act of love, but is more a pairing of convenience.
