Speakers for the Dead
The equivalent of a human priest, they learn about an individuals entire history, from birth to death, and speak this history, to tell of thing that were kept secret, and things that have been forgotten. It is every Cecrop-nopt's dream to not need a Speaker, because that will mean that they were truly true to themself and to others. Only 3 have ever had that great honor bestowed upon them.

Marmon
The Marmon believe that all things are insignificant in the face of all that is, was, and will be. We believe that those who think their life is worth more then another are perfectly correct, but only of they are the victim, not the aggressor. We believe that those who believe they deserve the universe on a silver platter are evil, hence our war with the Warriorcell creatures. We think that, because our lives are so short, and because all beings are mortal, the individual doesn't matter, the group does. And, because no one being can possibly understand all that is, was, and will be, we are creating a massive database that will have everything WE have collectively learned in it. That is why we never go anywhere alone (except to the bathroom) and why we die if left alone for to long.
