In the lasted determined canon, the word and the concept of "Judda" are used in Nevrea land and Gold Ring city, while there are differences in the concept and treatment. It's not sure where the word and the concept of "Judda" have originated from.

Speaking of the word "Judda" in canon context and story, for the moment, the only thing that applies is the position of Quu in the late stages of Gold Ring.

- Notice -
You can read the existing information about Judda so far in this article, however, as for the treatment of Judda in the ongoing Vilous Manga, it is not feasible to write out a fully detailed concept as the story is still being written. These things cannot be decided as of yet due to the need for careful considerations towards Canon and Timelines/effects. Therefore, the canon on this element, in particular, might change greatly in the future.

Concept

Technically, it means the nature that all Eltus beings have potentially. But in colloquial words, it generally refers to the specific person who has a deviant beautiful appearance.

As its concept is totally different from the attraction for copulation,"Judda" doesn't mean adjective of sexual charm like "Sexy" and so on. Correctly, the concept is more close to "holy" or "sacred".

If make a metaphor of it, it can be symbolized like "the gold grain which eternally never changes its shape".

Origin of the idea of Judda is considered that is affected by the existence of precious "Green Plants", and a name and concept of "Gold Ring".

Treatment

The concept and social treatment for Judda between the culture in Nevrea and the culture in Gold_Ring are pretty different.

In Nevrea, it's the object of worship, also the important position which granted to the certain male who works in a serious role socially.

Meanwhile, in Gold Ring, treatment of Judda from people is similar to that of idolatry. And legally, it's the name in one of the social systems which granted to the certain person who is chosen as the public figure.

The potential and unconscious sense to recognize Judda has the long history. It can be said to be a common sense in the whole planet Tal across all race. Even in the area where there is no the word "Judda", there are not big differences in the cultural recognition and treatment toward an individual who has a talent of Judda form.

In any area, the person who is in the position Judda is treated and considered as the greatest living treasure in that region. If someone plunders or injures Judda, it will be treated as a heavy crime.

Even Talyxians including non-sentient species may use the sense which is similar to that of Eltus race to recognize Judda. Especially Talyxians which prefer to eat Eltus race people evaluate and aim Judda person as more attractive game than common Eltus person.

Common conditions of Judda

Though there may be differences depend on regions, there are common conditions to some extent in an individual which tend to be chosen as a Judda;

• A whole figure is close to a neat streamline.
• Fur hues are color which resembles gold, rich green, silver, or sand color, etc.
• Body build is not too big.
• Quality of fur is dense and neat as a pin.
• Looks youthful like a child.
• Has a beautiful luster on the fur.

Since it is recognized by the tacit knowledge by the sense of each culture, the clear standard for it is not established. About the colors, there is a recognition difference according to each civilization. But generally, "gold" and "beautiful green like plants with chlorophyll" are acknowledged as "colors of absolutely valuable things", due to "Green plants" that are furiously precious existences in Tal.

When it comes to nevreans, males are said to have been done evolution while including Judda form genetically. As for the culture in Nevrea, the social position Judda is strictly limited to the male who is most beautiful in each village. In other regions also, male nevreans are generally easy to be recognized and chosen as Judda except for irregular males who have a muted hues like which females have.

Judda in Gold Ring

The "Judda system" is present in Gold Ring. The Judda in GR has an official position and a specific role and lives in Gold Ring central area where important buildings like government administration centers are found more commonly. The Judda person does not weigh in on the government affairs, however, and merely acts as a public symbol of grace and beauty. Most of those who become the Judda are male nevrean, though it is possible for a sergal or agudner to become the Judda if they fulfill all requirements for such a position.

The system of the Judda can be most easily compared to the modern Japanese Emperor system. The difference between the Japanese Emperor and the Judda, however, is that the Judda has no right to governing the people, and is instead treated as a public idol and the greatest living treasure of Gold Ring. Additionally, the Judda is not a hereditary position, making the decision of who the new one is not a matter of lineage.

The official GR Judda in the modern generation is Quu. However, this will most likely be changed in a fixed period of time.

After the world war which finished in year 40 of the Rain Calendar, people took up the Judda concept with more respect and purpose due to the influence that the last of the western sergal survivors had. It was meant to serve as a reminder of how tragic war is, and why it should be avoided. However, even then the concept of the Judda does not have a specific purpose, and some hold on to it just for fun.

Thanks to the respect the Judda carries, robbers can't go near the center street of Gold Ring where the nobles and bureaucrats live because such robbers fear the Judda. For various reasons, the Judda is able to hold this much influence even in the modern era.

Judda in Nevrea

In Nevrea where is the homeland of nevreans and only native Nevreans live as for Eltus race resident, Judda is the object of worship and faith, also the important position which granted to the certain male who works in a serious role socially.

The background that male nevreans have evolved while including Judda form genetically, it is reflected in their gender role in their culture, society, and psychological treatment. Due to this, consideration in the concept of Judda in Nevrea is pretty different from that of Gold Ring.

Miscellaneous Judda knowledge

In Northern sergals, it's said to be that there are many ones who may have a talent of Judda form.

Leeric is a representative example of those, but he often ruins it due to his personality flaws.

General Rain willingly aims at boys who have Judda form due to her lust for beautiful things.
