The thriae (singular and plural) are a race of bee-like humanoids, all of them female. Many are renowned for their gifts of cryptic prophesying.
Society
Thriae live in hillside hives on the edges of civilization. Their society is split into several roles: the queen, who breeds and directs the colony; seers, who use their powers of divination to guide the colony; dancers, who entertain the colony; soldiers, who labor for and defend the colony and; constructors, who design and build the hives.
Thriae have a particular fondness for rare metals, such as gold and jewels. While they rarely trade wares with outsiders, they are often willing to share their prophetic abilities in exchange for treasure—including willing male consorts. Their average lifespan is about 200 years
