"It is so strange to see people using dogs for what I would use a horse for. A horse can carry saddlebags or pull a wagon but I see several dogs strung together pulling a three-wheeled cart with goods or even a person. Iyorii is truly a different place. There are many horses in my community but the number can't compare to the number of dogs here."— Tasiir of the People of the Horse
On the Move
The
Orth are a nomadic people and move their homes all the time - Iyorii means 'home where you are'. The
People of the Dog pack up their tents and belongings frequently and move to new locations. In this respect Iyorii is not different than any other
Orth village except it is the furthest from the
Graran border and in the snowiest part of the
Orthlands. As a consequence there are few imported goods in Iyorii and they are the closest to
Yaliru's Throat, a place where few
Orth are foolish enough to venture.
Home of Hounds
The inhabitants of Iyorii - the
People of the Dog - have their name for a reason; there are more dogs than people. Dogs are used to herd goats, move goods, pull sleds in the winter, and pull carts during the other times of year.
