Þrúsks
The Þrúsks1 are a Þrihak tribe inhabiting the area around the village Úhetal in southern Kóvúrt, north of Hanrans and south of Onneks.
Like the Hanrans, Þrúsks mostly subsist on raising Rekan Birds for their meat, eggs and feathers, and traditionally give feather cloaks to the king as tribute.

Culture
Common Customs, traditions and rituals
At the center of Úhetal is a tall wooden pole with a small statuette on top. During certain festivals the pole is greased and warriors attempt to climb it and touch the statue, if any of them succeeds it's considered a good omen. People from all over Kóvúrt attend this ceremony, and traditionally newly crowned monarchs are expected to partake in it as well to earn the gods' favour.
Common Myths and Legends
Þrúsks worship a number of Mörkel and Þrihak deities, chief of which is the Mörkel creator god Pegíar. Statuettes of their gods and goddesses are stored in a small shrine tended by a local shaman, who give each a small, daily offerings of food and flowers.
