Horyinn

Flag

Horyin’s flag is shaped like a horizontal rectangle. It is deep green in color and depicts a golden creature they call a Hayarinn.


Racial Groups

By far, they are the most mixed batch as well as the most open, accepting any and all into their tribes so long as they are willing to abide by the Horyinn codes of honor and break all ties with their former lives. Typically, those not accepted anywhere else on Keverynn can find a home here. It is one of the only places on Keverynn where half breeds and those of questionable heritage are welcomed without prejudice.


Leadership

The Tal’jeerann, or Lord, is usually the child of the previous one, but in cases where this is not possible, the Council of Chieftains meets in the Sacred Wood and spends a week in fasting and meditation to determine who will replace the Tal’jeerann.

Culture

The people of Horyinn believe that their ancestors watch over them from the sky. They have several sacred places hidden away in the woods where hose wishing to speak to the ancestors may go to do so. The most sacred of these places are located on the island of Karru. This place has a very high number of Wolflings who live and care for the burial sites at Tarrack, Nanack, and Parainn.
There is a special burial ground for the Tal’jeerann in one of the main land forests. Its location is known only to the current Tal’jeerann.

Common Dress Code

As there are so many different racial groups among the Horyinn Nomads, the traditional garb serves as more of a guideline. Women’s dress, generally called Fal’durenann, consists of
Jah’na – a tank top
Aadenn – trousers tucked into the viil
Viil – boots
El-jath – a collared, long sleeved jacket.
Variations include backless versions for siathi and modified pants for the chume’taly to allow for their tails. As boots are largely required, there is a footless version made especially for the chume’taly called iishe’viil.

Male garb is called Nill’durenann and consists of:
Sha’shonn – a high necked, long sleeved shirt
Ij’na – a short vest with cap sleeves that fastens in such a way as to look wrapped.
Cho’sa – a wide belt
Aa’donn – loose pants
Ma’viil – shoes
In the case of chume’taly men, they wear a smaller version of the iishe’viil, called dai’she’viil. Siathi men would wear a backless sha’shonn and they forgo the ij’na entirely.
