= Prosian Taxonomic System =
''A canonical biological classification framework used throughout the SS Scavenger Universe.''

The **Prosian Taxonomic System** is a culturally rooted method for categorizing all life on the planet '''Prose'''. Unlike Earth’s taxonomy, which relies on Latin binomials and rigid evolutionary hierarchies, the Prosian system reflects harmony, ecological cycles, and the spiritual worldview of the Prosian people.

This taxonomy divides living beings into broad ''Realms of Life'' ('''Narakorā'''), followed by natural ''Growth Forms'' ('''Soralin''') and optional ''Habitat Groups'' ('''Lenarak'''). Some rare species may receive a ceremonial classification acknowledging their ecological significance.

This system became vitally important during the events of '''[[The Golden Age]]''', when the rediscovery of Driftblooms restored several extinct species and reshaped modern ecological understanding.

----

== Narakorā — Realms of Life ==
The highest level of classification, describing the fundamental nature of living beings.

{| class="wikitable"
! Realm !! Meaning !! Includes
|-
| '''Solkara''' || ''Sun-formed life'' || Flora, all photosynthetic plants
|-
| '''Nefkara''' || ''Breath-formed life'' || Animals and motile organisms
|-
| '''Vaskara''' || ''Stone-formed life'' || Fungi, lichens, mineral-symbiotic lifeforms
|-
| '''Salkara''' || ''Deep-formed life'' || Aquatic micro-organisms; river-origin life
|}

''Most plant species revived in the events of'' '''The Golden Age''' ''belong to Solkara.''

----

== Soralin — Growth Forms (Life Shapes) ==
These categories describe the shape, structure, and growth pattern of Solkara species.

* '''Thélen''' — trees
* '''Varel''' — shrubs
* '''Soren''' — grasses
* '''Felun''' — flowering plants
* '''Gresen''' — vines
* '''Dareli''' — ferns
* '''Kelun''' — seedpods or cone-like plants
* '''Mirel''' — aquatic plants
* '''Yeran''' — mosses and ground-soft plants

These are often used as the second component of a classification.

----

== Lenarak — Habitat Groups ==
Optional geographic or ecological modifiers added to a species’ classification.

* '''Larosen''' — river-region
* '''Denekor''' — floodplain
* '''Kazentan''' — highlands
* '''Mokurelen''' — island/coastal
* '''Saralen''' — forest
* '''Larokosin''' — harvest-season regions
* '''Prosialen''' — near populated settlements

For example:
''Solkara–Soren–Larosen'' → a rivergrass species.

----

== Ceremonial Classification ==
Some species may be given an elevated title due to ecological, spiritual, or historical significance.

=== Larokorēn — “Life-Restorers” ===
A unique designation for organisms that restore ecosystems, heal soil, or revive extinct flora.

The first and currently only known member of this category is the '''Driftbloom''', whose regenerative spores revived multiple lost species during the events of '''[[The Golden Age]]'''.

----

== Structure of a Prosian Classification ==
A complete Prosian taxonomic name may include:

# ''Realm of Life'' (Narakorā)
# ''Growth Form'' (Soralin)
# ''Habitat Group'' (Lenarak, optional)

=== Example Template ===
<pre>
Solkara – Thélen – Kazentan
</pre>

''“A sun-formed highland tree.”''

=== Example Species ===
* '''Lariven Grass''' → ''Solkara – Soren – Larosen''
* '''Tarenil Tree''' → ''Solkara – Thélen – Larokosin''
* '''Grenasi Fern''' → ''Solkara – Dareli – Saralen''
* '''Kelarin Pods''' → ''Solkara – Kelun – Saralen''
* '''Drisaya Tree''' → ''Solkara – Thélen – Kazentan''

----

== Cultural Notes ==
The Prosian taxonomy reflects a worldview centered on balance:

* Sun and breath
* Stone and water
* Motion and stillness
* Life cycles governed by moons and seasons

Many ancient poems and teachings reference the Realms of Life, making the taxonomic system deeply embedded in Prosian cultural identity.
