Thurnetorrian

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Most Thurnetorrian people are taught both Higher Thurnetorrian and Common Thurnetorrian. Common Thurnetorrian is the language of trade and the most widely used language in the world.

Higher Thurnetorrian is a similar but distinct dialect that is only spoken in the nation of Thurnetorre.

Common Dress code

Thurnetorrian clothing does not have gender distinctions, and an androgynous appearance is usually considered particularly fashionable. The fashion of the upper class is renowned for its bright color, intricacy, and, according to some, gaudiness. Middle class fashion tends to take after the style of the nobility, but with far fewer jewels or feathers. Common people usually wear much simpler more practical shirts and trousers that can withstand the wear and tear of daily life.

Art & Architecture

Thurnetorrians prize aesthetic beauty and the natural world. Designs of wildflowers and leaves are often incorporated into their architecture.

The Thurnetorrians highly value talent and commitment to art. Wealthy families often encourage their children to pursue poetry, art, or music. Thurnetorrian art is very detailed and realistic, and it focuses on showcasing an artist's skill rather than self-expression. Artists usually create portraits or architecture at the request of clients.

Ideals
