Whithamian Golds (wit-hame-ee-anne golds)
Whithamia has not seen precipitation in all of recorded history, but that hasn't stopped some goldens from laying down their roots in the barren earth. Whithamian Golds have survived for generations, creating towns and culture in a place most beings would never dream of bothering to handle. Even through war, which transferred Whithamia from Zek-alay to Venztor, the goldens refused to leave the life they had created around them, even as other species now attempt to take advantage of the groundwork laid by the Golds' ancestors.

Culture
Common Dress code
Whithamian Golds do not wear much, the heat of their environment and their protective coat making such things a terrible idea. They do wear plenty of protective gear when it comes to their work, all sensible equipment for whatever it is they do. Bright colours are the usual, best equipment to reflect the heat from the sun's rays.
Art & Architecture
The region is most known for mining blue autessite, which is reflected in their art and architecture. With the metal's sturdy and cooling properties, the above ground structures, if not completely built of metal, will be lined on the outside with painted autessite.
This metal is also used for jewelry or lucky charms. The jewelry is sold for profit, but the charms are not, a specialty belonging only to the people of the region. More than any of this are the vehicles. Whithamian Golds might not be the largest producers of vehicles, but they take pride in their ability to work with blue autessite in making the fastest and most durable chassis, able to hold the most powerful of engines.
Ideals
Beauty Ideals
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, for most Golds don't care much at all for physical beauty. Only in action can their hearts be swayed. Therefore, what catches their attention physically is proof of one's passion or determination. This can be seen in their mechanics and vehicles. They might share opinions with other people as to what makes an attractive car, but the best looking mechanics are the ones who look like they were just neck deep in an engine.
