The information was taken from the original Obsidian Tower documentation that has been extant for years. It's also based on discussions with the creators of the Dhe'nar, before they were implemented as an official culture. There are also existing examples of both the nhil'mon and sha'rom in-game. Regardless, the disclaimer has been added. [[User:BRAKIAN|BRAKIAN]] ([[User talk:BRAKIAN|talk]]) 16:50, 28 April 2015 (CDT)
