They are very loyal to their friends and family but aren't as overt about it as the Zhan-Khazan. With wide eyes and acute senses, they make great soldiers, with vision adapted to compensation for the heavy blizzards that plague their home planet. They are also great survivalists and are capable of scrounging food for themselves via hunting. With the Great Frost, M’sai were the luckiest of all Tajara. Some M’sai returned to an almost tribal way of life if not near Hearths but struggled to survive, however those who were lucky enough to have a Hearth Engine thrived in the new world.

Njarir suffer persecution and rejection from certain proponents of Tajaran society because of their bloodline. As the most learned of all Tajaran ethnic groups, they boast high intelligence and have a propensity towards the arts and sciences. When the Great Frost began they did not fare well at all, most of them however did either end up continuing their research, or rule in holds they made up an extreme minority of the population, which has led to inbreeding in order to keep the blood “pure”. They usually can speak the language known as Ahkani, the royal ancient tongue, typically not taught to non-royals as to retain a method for speaking above the commoners.

Agriculture and plantations have become the staple exports of the colony. Most of Hro’zamal remains unexplored, with few outposts and settlements outside of the central city scattered across the jungle. A majority of the settlers hail from the PRA, and the rough,hostile, and unfamiliar environment of Hro'zamal has led to a major importance on collectivism, family, and work ethics.

Death is more freely accepted to be able to become one with Messa, and assist her in her fight with S'randarr. Anything that can lead to more of that, such as a larger population to be offering souls with, is focused, and will be desired by those who follow Messa. They will wish to grow in knowledge and enrich their soul with that knowledge, so that Messa may have that much more power over S'randarr. It is widely believed that the Shards of Messa, and Messa herself were the ones who caused The Frost, and for such are hunted and killed, so many Shards now conceal their true beliefs in order to survive."
