Hometown

The Mantodeaka live in one kingdom, Gleamore. Gleamore is located on a costal island, it has only three seasons, spring, summer, fall. Ootheca is how Mantodeaka refer to their home. Oothecas are normally open roof, so that flight is possible. Oothecas are large, as they need to fit multiple families.

Culture

Mantodeaka do not go to schools, they are taught by the members of their Oothecas instead! Because of this, most Mantodeaka do not speak often, as they weren't properly taught how to. Within the Ootheca, the adults (over 16) vote on a responsible candidate to teach the nymphs. Nymphs are born each spring, so they do the voting in fall. A common job for Mantodeaka is merchant, as it is good for the kingdom. A few more common jobs are craftsman, messenger, farmer, and ranger. Rangers patrol the outskirts of the kingdom, making sure there are no invaders. It is uncommon for Mantodeaka to leave the kingdom, and it is looked down upon. However, some still choose to leave the security of the kingdom for a life of thrill and adventure.
