 Closely tied to a female's fertility cycle is their ability to naturally draw in and use power from the [[lore:Shadow Realms]]. Like the natural magic of the [[Elf#True Elf|True Elves]], hashan females have a natural affinity for magic. For the hashan, this magic takes the form of control over the natural weather and water of [[lore:Miranda]].
-During those months when a female is fertile her power grows. If she does not conceive a child then her power wanes to her normal levels, but if she is bearing a child then her power continues to grow. It will reach its peak around the time of her child's birth. As long as she continues to nurse her power will not diminish, but once her child is weaned it will return to her normal strength before she enters her normal fertility cycle.

 Hashan males are incapable of using this magic, in fact they are typically unsuited to using any type of learned magic. The only exception to this rule is that males born infertile occasionally have a very small measure of a female's power. Males that have been rendered infertile can concentrate enough to learn [[lore:spellcraft]], but it is still difficult for them.

 ===== Life Cycle =====
-Most hashan will live approximately 50 years; although the garelli can live well into their 80s. Females will give birth to a single child and will nurse and raise that child until it fully matures in five years. They will reach sexual maturity around their tenth year. Males are fertile for their entire life, while females are only fertile twice a year. A female's fertility cycle is not seasonal, but instead driven by her own internal clock.

 During their first year children can stay underwater for only short periods of time as their blubber is not thick enough and their fur does not trap enough air to keep them warm. They are nursed for the first year of their life, quickly growing and building the blubber necessary to a life in and near the water.

 ===== Community =====
-Hashan communities are typically matriarchal and almost completed devoid of adult males. The females use their power to drive off the males once they have reached sexual maturity. Males will gather into small communities among the other races or even occasionally build male-only hashan communities. They will gather as much wealth and goods before returning home. The males will use this wealth to court fertile females. As their wealth diminishes they will no longer be seen a suitable, so they will leave to get more goods.

-The society created by females is traditionally driven by wealth and personal power. The strong a female is in power, the more likely she is to be courted by the best males. Additionally, younger women will over gather around her to find the best suitors for their affections. A females magical strength typically descended through her lineage the strongest of them typically come from a small number of families. Family ties among the females is very strong.

Like a tree the most powerful families often have many weaker branch families that support the trunk family. Members of the trunk family have almost complete control over the branch families mating opportunities.
