Titles are context-driven and may change depending on ceremony, battle, or family.
Lineage and bond names honor both ancestry and the lifemating union.
Valorik kin terms track spiritual and blood bonds, not just nuclear family.
“Mother” and “Father” are sacred, reserved for founders or revered direct parents.
Children or juniors are addressed by their first name and lineage only.
