Rincori
Basic Information
Anatomy
4.5-5.5 feet tall
Growth Rate & Stages
Born without a horn in sets of 3-4. Historically, only 1-2 would typically survive, but often the entire litter will survive to adulthood with "modern" society.
Ecology and Habitats
Favors underground and dimly lit. Will prefer to burrow to extend living areas and buildings instead of up and out. Reference this answer to underground civilization until it's incorporated here.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Has less need for protein from animals, often lives off underground plants and wildlife. Favors drying and fermentation of food instead of cooking (fresh air is a commodity provided by the magma vents). Drying is done around specific grates connected to magma vents, and fermentation is typically done by burying with
Additional Information
Social Structure
Rincori are highly communal. With a low magical threshold and high recovery rate, most early magics were worked through groups conducting ceremonial magic, sharing the magical load. This way, magic is viewed as the way they were brought together. Often, the magic was worked to protect them from and enhance magma and magma vents. Fireproof was cast around where magma needed to be worked, Preserve Food and Create Food were cast on large chests and sometimes even entire rooms/chambers so that everyone could access edible foods.
Facial characteristics
While they did evolve to have horns for noses, using developed tools/technology over the last millennia has led to smaller horns than ancient Rincori. Their nostrils sit at the base of the horn and are good at sniffing out metal content, but their sense of smell is not a fine-tuned sense like a dog's. The brow is prominent, a leftover evolutionary trait from ancient Rincori that had horns there as well.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Eyes able to see fairly well in very dark light (still needs some light).
Civilization and Culture
Major Organizations
Rincor Lords. A conglomeration of somewhat federated city-states. They function as a loose republic.
Average Technological Level
Tattoo Magic. Industry heavily focused on the minerals of the ground. Ceremonial magic has allowed for earth transformation spells to aid their construction and industry.
Common Dress Code
Thick and stiff clothing.
Culture and Cultural Heritage
There is a strong, unspoken sense of community among Rincori.
Common Taboos
Shows of status are frowned upon due to highly communal societies.
Common Myths and Legends
Many legends surrounding volcanoes and magma
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
They have somewhat of a superiority complex in regards to their durability in relation to other species. Thick skin and high strength for their stature (often rivaling wolfen for sheer strength) is a point of pride for male and female Rincori.
Average Height
1.25 - 1.5 meters
Average Weight
40 - 65 kg
Average Physique
Short and stocky. Physical strength is a point of Rincoren pride, so they are rarely fat (even the lords), though they are quite built for their height.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
They are often pale skinned and tend to burn easily in the sun.
