Merely glance around yourselves and be grateful for the succor made possible by our ancestors’ determination. Look, now, at what becomes of us when we succumb to anemic confabulations and cavort tediously with degenerate beings. Look upon them and see manifest obsolescence!”</i> - Recorded broadcast of Pha’Regis, Caesselian Ambassador, voicing his contempt for the Slyveren.</blockquote><blockquote > | | <blockquote><i> “欢愉是放纵，完美则意味着死亡。我们的道路是渴求成就。只需环顾四周，感谢祖先的决心为我们带来的援助。看看吧，当我们屈从于贫乏的妄想，与堕落的生物无聊地嬉闹时，最终会变成什么样。看看他们，看看那显而易见的过时！”</i> ——卡塞利大使帕·雷吉斯在一段录音广播中如此表达他对斯莱弗伦的蔑视。</blockquote><blockquote> |

| <blockquote>The serpentine Caesselians bear a naturalistic resemblance to the mundane snakes found throughout the Milky Way: huge, bulky tails evolved for incredible strength and agility within lateral and vertical environments, short reptilian snouts adapted for hard prey, and elegant, asp-like hoods usually embellished with various colorful markings and patterns denoting their mother clan and an individual’s position in the greater hierarchy. Where the hood meets the neck, dozens of aural openings provide excellent hearing in a 270-degree angle, with a muffled blindspot to their rear. | | <blockquote>蛇形的卡塞利人与遍布银河系的普通蛇类有着自然的相似之处：巨大的粗壮尾巴是在横向与垂直环境中进化出的惊人力量与敏捷性，短小的爬行动物吻部适应了坚硬猎物，优雅的蝰蛇状颈罩通常饰有各种彩色标记和图案，用来表示母族以及个人在更大层级中的地位。颈罩与脖颈连接处有数十个听觉开口，能在 270 度范围内提供出色的听力，但身后会有一片被闷声遮蔽的盲区。 |

| Male caesseli have muzzle-like faces, whereas females have plump snouts - both possess slit eyes, vestigial nostrils, and wide, fleshy bifurcated tongues through which they scent their surroundings. Inside each caesselian’s slippery mouth are a pair of semi-retractable fangs comparable in size to any predator listed as ‘deadly game’ on the UGC’s recreational hunting forum. When roused to anger, these prominent teeth are bared, kept permanently gleaming by a constant ooze of paralyzing venom

| | 。不同于柔软脆弱的皮肤，粗糙的皮革状表皮从额头一直保护到卡塞利人的尾尖。表层的龙鳞让他们本就强悍的体魄获得近乎坚不可摧的防护。虽然人形特征相较其主要特征大多处于次要地位，但这些原始属性会在生殖裂隙与毒囊周围柔化成更加柔韧的“皮肉”。 |
| .Instead of a soft and vulnerable skin, rough, leathery hide protects a caesseli from brow to tail-tip. A surface layer of dragonish scaling endows their already considerable physique with a nearly-unbreakable protection. Although their humanoid features are largely secondary to their primary characteristics, these primal attributes soften into a more supple ‘flesh’ around their genital slits and venom sacks.

| Maturing caesseli develop two ‘breasts’; however, these organs are not capped by nipples, as they are small pouches responsible for the containment and rapid regeneration of a highly effective paralytic agent for which there is no known pharmaceutical counteraction. These venom sacks vary wildly in shape, with female caesselians bearing feminine silhouettes familiar to the wider galaxy’s peripheries. Males will often appear sporting slightly bulged pecs similar to a body-builder’s physique.

Piecing together trenchant remarks by caesseli ambassadors and what honors they saw enshrined in lavish museums during their visits to the snake-people’s homeworld, diplomats and historians have constructed a brief overview. | | <blockquote>尽管被提升的过程出了名地艰难，卡塞利人仍对自己的起源与发展守口如瓶。外交官和历史学家结合卡塞利大使们尖锐的言论，以及他们访问蛇人母星时在奢华博物馆中见到的荣誉陈列，拼凑出一份简要概览。 |

| | 在庞大而干旱的 Drethfoll 世界上，一百多万年的演化让卡塞利种族从在 hostile 荒野中争夺霸权的原始野兽，变成拒绝协同行动、只顾搜集资源的自私采集者，最终形成严格的氏族结构，推动一个繁荣、坚定合作却仍未被银河大众充分理解的文明。 |
| On the massive, arid world of Drethfoll, over a million years of evolution saw the caesseli race transform from primitive beasts challenging a hostile wilderness for supremacy, to selfish substance gatherers who refused to gather together in concert, and ultimately to a rigid clan structure that promoted a prosperous civilization of unfaltering cooperation that is still poorly understood by the galaxy at large.

| | 他们文化中沉稳的思索，以及横跨大陆的大都市在精心规划下的发展，都发生在恰当的条件之中。卡塞利历史上最重要的事件或许是持续一千年的文艺复兴时期，母语称作“Magtheode”。那是哲学、工业与科学不受束缚地突飞猛进的熔炉时代，始于氏族首次建立时召开的奠基峰会。 |
| The ponderous cogitation of their culture and calculated growth of their continent-spanning metropoli happened under all the right conditions. Perhaps the most prominent event in caesselian history was the thousand-year renaissance period known in their native language as ‘Magtheode’, a crucible era of unbridled philosophical, industrial, and scientific advancement, begun at a formative summit where the clans were first established.

| Instead of answering to a single form of government, each clan, big or small, occupies its own swathe of territory in the sprawling urban centers or traditional outermost settlements, each one self-governing and functioning like a state or prefecture. Conflicts between clans are inevitable, but through an impenetrable network of connections and arrangements, clans, affiliated or not, effectively police one another.

| Caesselian clans are headed by an Overking or Overqueen, individuals of immense authority and responsibility that oversee the core functions of their entire race. In contrast to most hierarchies, it is the duty of those at the top to labor for those at the bottom. These natural-born leaders and their personally selected retinue are avowed by oath to preserve and advance caesselian society, personally undertaking major ventures or glorious quests to expand their reach, discern the unknown, and disseminate the gained rewards and knowledge among their kind, effectively achieving immortality for themselves and their charge. The most gifted and skilled are said to assimilate smaller or even take over larger clans through sheer accomplishment.

| | 人们认为卡塞利人从未打算远离自己的大气层。这个假说得到以下事实支持：尽管存在类似大型企业的强大氏族，却没有任何一个“家族”负责某个特定的科学领域或创新方向。大多数氏族对外来者仍是未知，除了那些控制着巨大人口中心的最大氏族，例如“Orenjule”和“Phanjel”。 |
| It is thought that the caesseli never intended to venture far beyond their atmosphere. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that although there exist powerful clans akin to megacorporations, no one ‘family’ oversees any particular field of science or area of innovation. Most of these clans remain unknown to off-worlders, save for the largest ones in control of massive population centers, such as ‘Orenjule’ and ‘Phanjel’.

| Adherence to tradition makes the caesselians strong, yet it is a source of fascination that, following their uplifting, a vast number of caesselians departed their world in search of a different future, becoming known as the [[Special:MyLanguage/Slyveren|Slyvereen]], whose beginnings are fraught with peril and distress.

| Males and females share a typical sexual configuration with the rest of the galaxy, possessing long, lizard-like phalluses and curiously mammalian vaginas and clitorises respectively. Genital slits protect these organs, which only emerge during arousal. The men have four internal testes and are diphallic, either penis elongating up to ten inches when erect, whereas women are abnormally elastic and possess a uniquely slippery wetness that allows for very pleasurable, exhilarating sex.

| | 每隔两个月，雌性就会开始排卵，在子宫中孕育最多六枚卵。一个月后，她会产下这一窝卵，特殊的润滑腺体确保分娩无痛。如果在此期间雌性被相容的雄性授精，卵就会受精；幼年卡塞利人在排出后会很快孵化，成长程度取决于精子的质量和受孕时间。人们相信，最高大、最强壮的卡塞利人在排卵初期就已受孕，而较小、发育较差的个体则在卵的孕育期末尾才出生。无论如何，卡塞利幼体出生时就能自给自足，往往在说出第一个词之前很久，就开始为第一顿饭而狩猎。 |
| Every two months, a female will begin ovulating, incubating up to six eggs in her uterus. In one month, she will lay the clutch, special lubricating glands ensuring painless birthing. If during this period the female is inseminated by a compatible male, the egg will be fertilized, and a young caesseli will quickly hatch upon its ejection, its level of growth determined by the quality of sperm and the time of impregnation. It is believed that the tallest and strongest caesseli are conceived at first sign of ovulation, while the smaller and less-developed are born late in the egg’s gestation period. Regardless, caesselian young are born capable of providing for themselves, and often begin hunting for the first meal long before they speak their first words.

| One marvelous quirk to caesselian reproduction is the genetic subset of ‘overkings’ and ‘overqueens’. Not chosen, but born, these scions of their race are once-in-a-million births to normal caesseli, yet far more frequent to extant specimens. Rarely, a fertilized egg will grow even larger, committing the mother to an uncomfortable maternity leave. Unlike regular eggs, an ‘overqueen’ or ‘overking’ will cause pain throughout the process, and take up to three or four more months to fully develop.
