Drinn-Thol

The Mountain dwelling Thol are a noble, industrious people, with a rich and well rounded culture. All Thol have a knack for craftsmanship. The Drinn-Thol are particularly fond of crafting implements of war, though this is not the only focus for these people. Nevertheless, they will fully embrace whatever passion their heart finds. Research, gardening, culinary arts, masonry… if nothing else, nobody can doubt the quality of man or metal of a Drinn-Thol.

Dress

Most Drinn-Thol dress in a clean, almost regal manner. Even when at work, they will wear simple but elegant, functional clothes, covered with some form of quality, protective garments. Armor is considered equally as formal wear for all three Tholl’n cultures, but especially for the Drinn-Thol. Everything about a Drinn-Thol’s appearance speaks of quality workmanship, from their clothes to their well kept hair or beards. A Drinn-Thol will show appreciation for and even incorporate quality work of other races into their own work and style and have a high respect for artisan level work of any race.

Demeanor

A Drinn-Thol is often well spoken, sometimes with a rough accent depending on the region their mountain is from. Thol take great care in the appearance and presentation of their beards, at least for males. Drinn-Thol more than the other two cultures treat their beard as a symbol of majesty and wealth, often having it meticulously well groomed, braided, and sometimes even scented.

Families and Nobility

Family units within Drinn-Thol society are known as Legacies, of which there exist 5 Noble Legacies that govern them as a whole.. Every Legacy bears a Signet Ring, but only the head of the family- be they a Patriarch or Matriarch- may bear it. Within Drinn-Thol culture, these rings are known as Seals of Merit, and denote what would be akin to a Maker’s Mark for a craftsman. Seals of Merit are of the utmost importance for Drinn-Thol Legacies, and are passed down from family figurehead to figurehead through the generations.
It is custom within Drinn-Thol families to pass down their family surname through patriarchal lines. However, any Drinn-Thol can earn a new surname through great feats or accomplishments. This is considered a high honor and this name will be the name passed down to any offspring they might have, rather than the former surname of the grandparent.
