Idoran

Idoran are humanoid creatures similar in shape to Thaxians but around half their size. Idorans get along well with most of the other races and were known for their curiosity and tendency to collect things. The comforts of home are the goals of most Idorans lives: a place to settle in peace and quiet, far from marauding monsters and clashing armies; a blazing fire and a generous meal; fine drink and fine conversation. Though some Idorans live out their days in remote agricultural communities, others form nomadic bands that travel constantly, lured by the open road and the wide horizon to discover the wonders of new lands and peoples. But even these wanderers love peace, food, hearth, and home, though home might be a wagon jostling along a dirt road or a raft floating downriver.

Description

In many ways, Idorans resemble small Thaxians and usually had the same proportions as the typical Thaxian adult. Most Idorans have dark hair and eyes regardless of their skin complexion which, although commonly ruddy in hue had a similar range to Thaxians. Nearly all male Idorans were incapable of growing true beards, though many had long sideburns. Idoran hairstyles were often complex, with strands woven together or braided. Although Idorans had an affinity for collecting valuables, they did not prefer to wear these on their person, instead preferring more comfortable clothing.

Personality

Idorans are by nature joyful and friendly in their dealings with others. Because they live in a world where they were surrounded by larger creatures, Idorans tended to avoid notice, often deliberately, or at the very least, acted cordial towards the larger races. Idorans appeared deceptively harmless, meaning they were often beyond the notice of enemies that might otherwise pose a threat to them. The Idoran mind is practical and Idorans concerned themselves with their immediate surroundings. They take pleasure in simple things, with few aspiring to greatness in the same manner as Thaxians.

Some Idorans do become adventurers, but usually this was a practice taken up for reasons of necessity rather than personal drive. Because of their love for home and family, Idorans make loyal and courageous allies, willing to put their own lives at risk for the sake of others. While many Idorans do not have the ambition for adventure that some races did, most prefer trouble to boredom; the race was notoriously curious. Idorans were courageous, more so than many races, and their daring was often difficult to match. Many Idorans also had a strong appetite for food and drink as well as narcotics and clothing. Similarly, many Idorans were enthusiastic collectors, and loved to hold on to possessions won through skill and daring.

Society

Idoran communities are tight knit groups found around the world. Most Idorans don't recognize the claims of kings or nobles as sovereign rulers but instead looked primarily to their family elders to guide them. This focus on bloodlines enabled Idoran traditions to continue relatively intact for lifetimes. Idorans also valued a sense of community.

Idoran culture has a fondness for stories and legends and was rich in the oral tradition. So much care was put into the retelling of traditional stories and their preservation that Idorans often unwittingly had access to lore about ancient and long-gone cultures or empires that others had long since forgotten about. Many Idorans were able to recall some detail of the ancient past, though it was usually wrapped in the shrouds of legends.
