Biþrans

Öþranic: Biþreil /ɓɪːθɹeiːl/ , singular: Biþrél /ɓɪːθɹjɛːl/
Þrínic: Biþril /pɪːθrɪːl/ , singular: Biþríl /pɪːθriːl/
The biþrans1 are predominantly goblin inhabitants of the country of Biþræ and surrounding region in eastern Ójom, a region in the eastern part of the continent of Jælondis. They are one of the largest and most widespread goblin ethnic groups along with the Terúkans in and around the country of Terúk in southeastern Ójom.

Culture

Apparel

Traditional biþran clothing is usually black and white, with the only splashes of colour being in the form of designs on collars, sleeves, trousers and skirts in blue, red, pink and occasionally yellow, and fur trimmings are common on winter- or ceremonial clothes.
Jewelry often consists of precious- or semi-precious stones, feathers, carved shells or fish bones, or pearls imported from the south.

Cuisine

Mutton, boiled or fried barley bread and ale, all introduced by dwarven subjects during the empire of Ama are particularly significant in biþran fine cuisine compared to other goblin countries, though fish, tubers and giant rat meat still form the basis of many traditional dishes.
Notable examples of biþran cuisine is meat preserved in ale, steamed dried fish with mandrakes and onions, and a dessert made from pulverized dried fish, fat and assorted berries.

Religion

Biþran polytheism includes most of the same deities venerated in other goblin cultures, along with numerous spirits associated with certain places, though they regard the sea god Ólra as the head of their pantheon rather than Tararúm, godess of fire, unlike the terúkans. Another notable difference is that while the terúkans believe the culture hero Þnix to be the son of the sea god, in biþran tradition the hero was an earthly manifestation of Ólra, who then returned to the abode of the gods after leading the goblins across the sea to their current home.
The joint temple of Ólra and Þnix is among the most lavishly decorated ones built by the goblins, and the largest of the twenty-two shrines along the coast of east Ójom, built during the late Aman Empire.
