Torgali

Culture

For most people, Culture consists of the combined circumstances of their surroundings during their formative years, and in some cases the most influential time in their life. This includes the Land they consider home, the people they consider family, and the ideals and traditions they hold dear.

This page specifically sorts these Cultures by how common Torgali appear in them.

More detailed information on Cultures will be coming soon~

Native Cultures

These are the most common cultures of this species, created from any combination of shared languages, values, traditions, and settlement in certain regions of the world. Native cultures most often contain the vast majority of their associated species, as the world is fairly young and wild, not allowing for risk-free world travel.

Kartaki

The people that live amongst the dense networks of rivers and towers around the source of the Kartakaum River, primarily densely localized around the city towers of Kartakai

Tenkabi

This represents a large population of the people in Torgalia and the surrounding Wilds. They all share traditional Torgali values borne of survival.

Mau’kali

People who live in the tropical southern and eastern coastlines, islands, and marshes known as the “Edgelands”.

Familiar Cultures

These cultures are similar to this species’ native cultures, either in values and traditions or in geographical proximity.

Ukamimba

Primarily residing on the southeastern coasts of Canzia, the Ukamimba have developed a special relationship with their spiritual selves. They often endeavor to reach beyond the physical world, even if it comes at a cost.

Greunval

The Greunval have always been the same: hardworking folks who value the small blessings of the rural areas of Lovalia, when the cold season is over. Many Greunval communities revolve around carpentry, masonry, and other crafts that make expert use of Lovalia’s unique natural resources.

Tangleroot

The Tangleroots are the largest native cultural group of the Fangren, representing the vast swath of peoples that live within the heart of the Nettle Forest.

Hearthie

These people have decided to put down roots in one place, and they rarely leave whatever home they find themselves in. Most Hearthie are located in the Hinlands, enjoying their time with family and friends, and providing services and duties to their local hometown.

Yokee

While the Yokee have much in common with other Hinnish cultures, as they do a good deal of traveling, they usually have an established home, family, or ties to a particular place that always brings them back to the Hinlands.

Masquen

Blessed by the bounty of diversity, trade, and convenience, Masquen truly benefit from all the wonders of the Beanut Lands being easily accessible. All denizens of the urban Crownlands are provided with a formal education that encourages understanding of people from all walks of life, but often means Masquen aren’t as equipped to endure harsher environments outside the comforts of a city.

Milona

While Milona may not have the same comforts as city dwellers, they also retain a great deal of that Crownlander convenience. Thanks to a simpler, more social lifestyle, they are more equipped to get along with just about anyone, but most have not trained to be particularly capable in physical endeavors. Most Milona derive their traditions and values heavily from one of the four Crownland Regions.

Foreign Cultures

These cultures are unusual for this species, but not unheard of.

Oasin

A never-ending cavalcade of various nomadic clans whose lives and livelihoods revolve around the mysterious Wandering Oasis.

Mkase

The rough-living ridgelanders, highlanders, and canyon dwellers of the most punishing, arid, southern regions of the Beanut Lands.

Altoval

While the comfortable and cultured Altoval live in the shadow of the Golden Days of Lovalia, they still honor timeless traditions of their elders and provide a heavy influence on the world’s educational systems, historical records, and the arts.

Norloval

The Norlovalian people spend their lives without flair or fashion, instead finding value within themselves. Enduring the harsh frozen Wastes, Mountains, and icy waters of the deep north, these people are often found in rapt contemplation and reflection.

Danuvican

Danuvicans value personal achievement and advancement above all else. Raised to honor both physical regimens and educational routine, the Danuvicans are taught that stricture breeds excellence. Their unique ways of military and educational training has proven extremely effective against the standards of the wider world, but often causes them to come across as strange.

Nymbi

The Nymbi-kin are one of the most atypical cultures of the entire Beanut Lands, due to the fact that they never experience the outside world. While that does not make it a unique culture itself, the near-millennia lifespan of most Faekin Nymbi has created a strange, leisurely pace of life that seems to never focus on the future or past, even for those who happen to be of other species. Nymbi live in the moment, doing what they want when they want without considering consequence.

Wyndi

Though they may be the most worldly of all Faekin cultures, the Wyndi-kin still live their lives with a freedom and whimsy that brings inspiration to others. Spreading excitement and drama, the Wyndi are often seen performing in theatre troupes, engaging in the world’s politics, and generally interacting with high society and commoners alike.

Deltren

The Deltren people hold deep significance to their connection with water, and often schedule their lives around its importance, but have otherwise assimilated with the modern world at large, residing on land most of the time. The majority of Deltren people live, as their name implies, in and around the river deltas of the central Beanut Lands, primarily the Heartlands and Brittle Bog.

Hydren

The Hydren people are what most outsiders think of when they hear of the denizens of the Brittle Bog. Living near to equal portions of their lives between the water and land and primarily consisting of farmers, ranchers, and homesteaders, the Hydren people maintain communities that are independent, but still welcoming to outsiders on their travels in the Bog.

Wetwood

Stitched together from numerous small and isolated peoples that inhabit the lowland forests and coastal regions that were created at the merging of the Forest and Bog, the Wetwoods once referred only to the people of Gurbodden. The term has stretched to include all the people who live in the less dense region of the forest, whose close relationship with the Deltren people has influenced them with other worldly traditions without affecting their values of naturalism and respect for the wild.

Ghostoak

North of the Frostfoot River that bisects the upper regions of the Nettle Forest live the Ghostoak people. Made up of smaller tribal clans in a loose trade federation, these people survive as masters of hunting and trapping in the frost covered lands they call home.

Nolian

Nolians are a people who exist and benefit from the modern industrialization of Willonia, but who actively resist the existing Willonian Government structure, undermining laws and values that the Colonians have put in place over the last few centuries. Within modern society, Nolians are a minority voice who tend to romanticize other cultures, attempting to adopt their ideals and aim to influence Willonia to do the same.

Armadian

The Armadians are the small communities, sporadic towns and villages that dot the northern and western coasts of the Willonia’s fringe territories. Much less industrialized and developed than the surrounding lands, these people lack the inter-regional influence and government that most other Willonian communities have adopted, but they keep stronger ties to their traditions and culture from a previously seafaring lifestyle.

Bandy

The most widely-seen culture of the Hinfolk are the Bandy– those who love to travel, trade, and experience the world for all of its wonder. While they spend most of their time experiencing this joy of interacting with diverse people and learning about the world at large, the Bandy people still consider the Hinlands their home, and may one day return when they have had their fill of adventure.

Wonderkin

The more culturally assimilated people of The Grimlands, primarily made up of the inhabitants of Waldovia and the Steplands regions, but also includes the people in the wider world who still cling to traditional Grimmish values. They often find themselves pursuing a trade, craft, or occupation directly related to their own passions, rather than something that provides money or fits the expectations of others.

Maybraun

Maybraun experience the Crownlands life differently than other natives, earning their convenience through neighborly connection and understanding, rather than formal education or regular trade with outsiders. Inhabiting the more expansive fields, evergreen woods, and mountain ranges on the fringes of the Crownlands, Maybraun collect and export most of the natural resources unique to the Crownlands, including the bird leaves that are used at the Imperial currency.
