Realm of the Toralai

by Håvard

Technology: New Stone Age
Life Style: Tribal Hunter/Gatherers
Population: ca 500.000 Neathar Humans
Outer World Origins: Northern Continent,Thyatis/Kerendas region ca BC600.
Real World Inspiration: The Neathar are based on European tribes of the Neolithic era as presented in archeology and popular culture.

Description: The Neathar are stone age ancestors of the human populations of Nithia, Traladara, Darokin and others. The Toralai are light skinned, usually with a dark tan, with brown or red hair and blue or brown eyes. The men wear their hair short with short beards. Women wear their hair long and unbound. The Toralai dress in animal skins, often from the Bison they hunt. Men often only wear loincloths with belts. Women wear short sleeved tunics or vests and skirts. Men and women may wear headbands, arm bands, necklaces and anklets. While most Neathar prefer to go bare feet or using sandals, the Toralai wear skin footwraps on their feat which allows them to run long distances.

Thread Purpose:
This thread was inspired by Chimpman's excellent historical maps (like this one). We already have a thread about the Neathar here, but I would like to look at each tribe individually. My main idea here is to discuss the Toralai as they appear in the Hollow World, but hopefully we can use it to flesh out the historical Outer World Toralai as well. I will post more ideas later in this thread. This will obviously be a combination of what is found in published material expanded with my own ideas. As usual, feedback is appreciated! :)
