Due to the presence of Prothean ruins on their homeworld, many hanar worship them, calling them the “Enkindlers”. Hanar myths often speak of them as an elder race that uplifted and civilized them by teaching them language. They communicate using sophisticated patterns of bioluminescence – which other species need machine assistance to translate – and speak with scrupulous precision and excessive politeness. Most hanar take offense at improper language, and must take special courses to unlearn this tendency if they expect to deal with other species.
