Kadeda

Kadeda (lit. outsiders) are humans who live in Sanmra. Most kadeda are either descendants of or themselves are refugees who were granted asylum in Sanmra for a variety of reasons--escaping war, as a reward for assistance to the Sanmran government, etc. About 25,000 humans live in Sanmra, making up about 1.5% of the population, primarily concentrated in the largest cities.

Demographics
For obvious reasons, most kadeda are originally from either Central Asia or North America. The oldest kadeda families have lived in Sanmra for hundreds of years, and primarily came from Central Asia. In the past 200-300 years, there was an influx of humans from North America, pushed out by European colonists. Most modern refugees come from a variety of countries, but primarily the United States and China.

Position in society
Kadeda theoretically are eligible for all political and public positions, including as kida and nuoda. However, due to their short lifespans and lack of amati control, they are often passed over and considered poor candidates. They are specifically excluded from consideration as sarda, because amati control is a requirement of that office. In many ways, they are treated like second-class citizens, as Sanmra society at large is based on the assumptions that all citizens live hundreds of years and can control amati. Even human medical care is somewhat lacking, compared to dalar medical care.

Because kadeda typically cannot control amati, they are not counted toward population totals for the purpose of maintaining enclaves.

Biology
Kadeda are purely human; half-human half-dalar hybrids are not typically included in this group (although other percentages--e.g. a quarter-dalar or eighth-dalar--might be). Despite this, kadeda whose families have lived in enclaves for very long periods of time exhibit a number of dalar-like traits, such as significantly greater ability to sense amati than ordinary humans, very mild psychic or telepathic abilities, and longer lifespans, up to 200 years or more.
