Okay, so, continuing my rant:

Envy, the hain. I'm going to assume this guy has been altered by Amartia or was already an odd hain.

This guy is going to have to be particularly shrewd if he wants to retain a position of power over other hain. Why? Because, although hain are not immune to envy, covetousness over a partner in particular is something rather alien to them. In their race sheet, it is mentioned that one of the most fundamental distinctions of hain are their partnering and mating habits. They are polygamous by nature, not just by culture. In that, competing over mates isn't the same as in human or human-like species.

To elaborate, if hain A falls in love with another hain B, and hain B is partnered with hain C already, it's expected that hain A will grow close to both B and C. If hain A and C don't get along, hain A falls out of love with hain B as an instinctual reaction because hain A is not compatible with the entire family group. This is not an eschewing of stereotypes for an alternative lifestyle, this is actually their natural psychology informing them.

There are many implications stemming from this, not least of which the notion that a hain would be driven to murder another hain to be compatible with a mate being seen as animalistic and defective. Murder within a tribe, and especially a family group, is already heavily frowned upon across all hain societies, so the hain of envy has things stacked against him...

...That is, if people knew what happened.

If the hain of Envy's actions were found out, the revolt against him by other hain would not be out of some kind of manufactured social construct of sin, but an aberration of nature on par with becoming a Jvanic sculptor. However, if no one knew about his actions, perhaps he could still command respect. This would require locking up his coveted paramour so [i]she[/i] doesn't tell, because unless she's an odd one too, she wouldn't be too fond of the hain of Envy anyway. As well, if anyone found out this detail of the hain of Envy's life and they could prove it, they have the ultimate blackmail to use against him.

Thank you [@Muttonhawk] for clarifying this for my. Honestly, I was afraid to add Hain of Evny, wasn't sure what sin to give him. Or add Hain in general. I'll have to rethink his sin. I have also talked with [@Antarctic Termite] who helped me come to the conclusion to turn Amestris into a fast growing city instead of nation. A gathering of people and construction. Then have a towns grow around the Markets and have them close knit with the city of Xerxes. I will add all this on my morning.

Thank you again for the clarification. Will help in the future.
