Risan

The Risians (also Risans or Riseans) were a humanoid race native to the planet Risa and part of the Risian Hedony.

They are nearly indistinguishable from Humans by external appearance, though Risians tend to wear a small gold-colored disk, called a ja'risia, on their foreheads.

Risians also apparently age at a slower rate than Humans.

The Risan language was not spoken by many non-Risians, as most visitors did not bother to learn it.

The "Festival of the Moon", or Lohlunat, was a very popular celebration among the Risian people, celebrated at the Suraya Bay. The mysterious sexual practice of jamaharon was considered extremely pleasant – wanting it was indicated with a statue called Horga'hn, which became a symbol of the culture on the planet.
