Torinei
This place is weirdly clean. Whoever's job it is to clean up the bird droppings deserves a raise.Torenei is a village in central Reisouth known primarily for the training of birds native to the Karmoniku Prairie for use in Melodic Therapy.
Demographics
Torinei, similar to the rest of Reisouth, is primarily made up of those of Reicaro and Sounith descent. Most are highly educated or trained in some form of labor related to animal care and training, contributing to the success of the Daresco Institute. A small portion of the population is made up of patients being treated directly by the Institute or those acting as test subjects for quality control purposes and new therapies.
It is believed that there are three times as many birds in Torinei as there are people. Most will be sold for therapeutic purposes all over Leland, but most households have a bird or two as a pet for non-clinical reasons.
Industry & Trade
While the village is most known for the export of therapy birds, a niche industry has cropped up around it--bird cages. There are a few small workshops that design everything from the simplest pet cage to the largest, most ornate aviary one can imagine. Some use materials native to the prairie while others import special metals.
History
Torinei began as a research camp on the Karmoniku Prairie in 1038 when a group of researchers came to the area to study the fauna of the prairie. One particular researcher took an interest in the melodic birds of the area and theorized that it might be possible to domesticate the various species and train them to use their calls to influence those going through mental trauma. After collaboration with animal trainers, meloderes, and mental health specialists it was determined that it was both a possible and effective treatment. Within twenty years the research camp had grown to a village to support the initiative.
Points of interest
The major point of interest in town is the Daresco Insitute which is the facility where birds are trained and is responsible for employing seventy percent of those who live in Torinei.
In the town square there is a large gilded bird cage that houses several birds trained by the Institute to bring about a sense of calm and contentedness in those who listen to their songs.
