A'hish

A'hish is the ethnicity of the people of the A'Hishian United Kingdoms. The culture is very closely tied to the country, as A'hish is a closed country, only its citizens -- fully within the border -- being considered A'hish.   Among their customs, a variety of them are not easily shared due to a lack of communication between the cities of the A'Hishian United Kingdoms. However, there are some general ideals -- like beauty, gender, and relationships -- and have a strong shared naming convention.   However, the name of the A'hish has been used to define a race since the Forgotten Era. In the primal language from the Forgotten Era, the word "A'himalsh" meant "those who weild the sun."

Ideals

  A'hish tend to have lesser ideal consensus since they are separated and don't have enough communication to create any form of equal ideals.  

Beauty Ideals

  The A'hish people have fairly simple beauty ideals, feeling that everyone may be beautiful to someone. The only things that are seen as beautiful in a more general and widespread sense are lighter eyes -- as darker blue can sometimes be seen as a lack of magic.   The religious connections between black hair and color eyes with religious have also made the two seen as beautiful. However, both are highly rare and signs of extreme power. This is because black hair is a sign of either Ancient Gods or the Five Ara'll. Colored eyes are also a sign of godly power, as colored eyes are a signifier of extreme power due to it meaning that the natural change of eye color overcame the natural tendency towards blue colors.  

Gender Ideals

  There are a couple of general gender ideals, though there is a general idea for both genders. Females will tend to be advised to go into some form of religion -- due to Dra'nolha'ara being a goddess -- while men usually go into skilled workplace jobs or politics. However, it is more common for everyone to go into the same profession as their parent of the same gender.  

Relationship Ideals

  Relationships are welcomed of all sorts. However, there is a general idea of who the relationships should be between. Between two citizens, there is little judgment. Should it be between ranks of either political power or religious power, it is suggested that it is between two ranks -- meaning no regular citizens are included. Relationships between political and religious people are suggested to be close to the same rank as far as the government system goes.
Languages
A'hia is the most common language, though most of the higher ranks of the government system have begun to learn Cologa -- also referred to as Common.

Author's Notes

This article, upon reflection, is rather complicated; it is also lacking my usual flow of text. Should you have read it and would like to give advice, I pose a few questions:   1 - Is the "Names" section overwhelming? If so, how would you suggest it be altered?   2 - Many of the sections are short, so are there any sections you would like to see explained further?   Thanks for reading, and any comments are appreciated.

Very thorough piece of writing! Great stuff :D   One question:  

Females will tend to be advised to go into some form of religion -- due to Dra'nolha'ara being a goddess -- while men usually go into important jobs.
  Does that mean to imply that job within the religion is not important? :O   Keep on world-embering! :D

I am fairly certain that I meant to say "workplace" jobs or something of the sort, but I couldn't find a word that felt right... I'll fix that because to them religion is extremely important.
