Yorug People

The people from the Yorug plains were said to be a peaceful and prosperous realm before the Fog arrived. Once civilization begin rebuilding itself, the cattle-herding tribes in these fertile plains began forming sedentary kingdoms that dominated most of the region, absorbing or assimilating the wilder tribals and dominating the plains under the stride of their Rhea Cavalry until the Brasukas and Mormons began pouring in from the north. Today, the many Yorug kingdoms remain divided, although having a common identity by their language, Yorugais, and their pantheistic religion, although the appearence of Mormonism on the north and Catholicism via Bordeño missionaries is eroding that quickly and worryingly for the Yorug Kings and Queens.

Common Dress code

The winds of the plains are strong, with more common occurrence of tornados than west of the Ooroowai River, ponchos and cloaks are still common as windbreakers and for the cold winter nights in the region. Wide-brimmed hats became a norm for both men and women to protect themselves from the sun. Pants are worn by both genders, but women are preferred to wear long, intricate skirts, a traidtion said to have been carried out since the days before the Fog, similar to their Parano cousins.

Common Taboos

As a traditionally cattle-herding people, the Yorugs view very negatively any raids or attacks that involve the killing of livestock, stealing the cattle being much prefer and widely practiced. When eating, its frowned upon to not leave some leftovers on the table. Those leftovers are either stored to make sobrada, a primarily meat stew, or fed to the local dogs.
