Common Etiquette Rules

Touching a Toren's horns/ antlers is considered taboo except for romantic partners, who may do so as a show of their relationship status and to warn off any rivals.

Toren do have a duel ritual duel called the Dinos. Should a Toren feel another Toren has committed a offence against them they will challenge them to a Dinos. In the Dinos the 2 combatants can only use their horns. They will lock horns and hands and attempt to push the other outside a 10ft radius. They may use their horns to slash at each other but this is seen as a desperate attempt to win and bad form.

Common Dress Code

Due to the Dino, most Toren wear heavy leather jerkins (that flare out slightly over the shoulders) over their other clothes. The goal of these jerkins is to protect them against slashing horns in a Dino. Most of these jerkins are made from Dragon or Dinosaur skin and feature designs and patterns made from embossing, embroidery, and bead work.

Continuing the armor clothing Toren wear leather half kilt aprons called Kydos to protect their legs. The Kydos are worn over knee length pants.

History

Toren were created by the Aryans simply to be a astectic foil and rivals to the Tonve or Angle race. After being released from Aryan slavery the Toren first started living on their own in a tribal society spread throughout Avalon Valley. During the 1st Aryan war some Toren tribes assisted the Aryan Rebels to create the nation Prussia. During the 2nd Aryan War the Toren moved away from their tribes to integrate themselves into the nations around them for safety and better economic opportunities.
