The Council of Concordance passed various laws surrounding public decency. Controversial statements about the [[San'Shyuum]] and their [[Birthing period|reproductive cycles]] were generally considered in violation of these laws, though comedic statements were overlooked in times of celebration - particularly upon the successful birth of a new San'Shyuum.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI|SoI}} | |||
