Kiseilians are a social specie but don't have a strong hierarchy. They naturally respect elders or very expert kises, even if living alone. This is why respect and social visibility are important, but it doesn't affect the Kise's reproductivity and life too much.
Respect Points (RP) are a way to evaluate the Kise's knowledge of the territory and aroundings, their actual status: more RP they have, more perks they gain.
By every rank up, a Kiseilian gains Skill Points and Breeding slots.

The Trial Quests aren't mandatory, but they can be lore prompts to develop your Kiseilian' story and a way to get some useful items.
You can complete them any time you want, but you can get the rewards only when your Kiseilian has reached the needed rank.
You are old enough to take care of yourselves by now. No more mom and dad helping you. It’s time to go beyond… maybe not so much, tho.
Show your Kise going further in a dangerous place and how they did. Were they attacked by a large whale who wanted to snack on them or a tree fell on them? Maybe they were venturing in way too cold lands for a Tropical Kiseilian or the city was too noisy for them and they panicked?
Rewards
2 x fine meat, 2 x random fish, 2 x trunk, 1 x pure water, 3 x random dyes
You should show your flock or handler what you’ve got and show them how skilled you are. You heard there is a dangerous creature nearby and it’s just perfect for your goal.
Show your Kise facing this danger or bringing back a trophy. Were they triumphant or were they covered in wounds? Was it a really dangerous creature or was only a nasty skunk?
Rewards
2 x big skulls, 3x heap of bones, 1 x juicy meat, 1 x random fur, 3 x random dyes
After some careful looking, an old boot stops being that and becomes a wonderful hat.
Show your Kise finding new purposes for old items or junk found in their explorations. Did they create the most marvelous nest ever or used old clothes and trinkets to decorate themselves?
Rewards
2 x good cloth, 2 x stained cloth, 2x coal, 1 x old chest, 2 x bandages, 1 x scar pack
Being part of a family isn’t easy - either a wild or a tamed flock - but when everyone has their role it’s way easier.
Show your Kise doing what they’re supposed to in the flock. Are they the leader or are they the babysitters? Are they respected in their role of cleaning the nest or everyone have fun at throwing stuff around to annoy them?
Rewards
3 x unfertilized kise eggs, 3 x random feathers, 2 x tender meat, 1 x fine meat, 1 x large accessory brief
Being known is such an hard work, everyone looks at you and expect amazing things by you, but it’s not so easy as it seems to be…
Show your Kise cooperating with other flocks’ Kiseilians - either wild or tamed. Was it easy to collaborate or were they distrustful? Did they get in trouble for others, or others helped them to get to safety?
Rewards
3 x random gemstones, 1 x oil, 1 x milk, 1 x ink, 1 x golden coin, 3 x random dyes
Legends have great responsibilities, that’s why they can’t back out when someone is in distress.
Show your Kise saving a lost unknown pup from a danger. Was it freezing in the snow or a large Raguar almost ate it? Were poachers trying to catch it or were they cast out from their flock?
Rewards
1 x Rare Abandoned Pup (randomly rolled), 1 x customization item of choice
