-[Basics]-
Snowflake's variant of Lyricism follows strict belief in a Caste system. Each Caste is holy in their own ways, and each worships a different deity.
_Castes_
-The Council of Sybils are the main religious caste, and often lead the various ceremonies. This caste will involve itself the most with Lyricism.
-The Council of Masters are the main militaristic caste, and lead Snowflake's armies. This caste follows a strict honor code based of Lyricism, although it doesn't necessarily devote itself as much as the Council of Sybils.
-The Ministry of Science is the main scientific caste, and leads the scientific pursuit. Despite their scientifically origin, they still follow aspects of Lyricism and spirituality.
_Minor Castes_
-Council of Spies are a minor caste that follow information wherever it can be found.
-Explorer's Caste is a nature oriented caste that often leads expeditions to the unknown.
-Worker's Guild consists of most of Snowflake's populace, so naturally most of them believe in Lyricism.
