Thora
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Thora, a frozen wasteland mainly occupied by Allos and Skaals. Thorans are very tight-knit and tend to side with each other, living in family clans and having only small skirmishes amongst themselves. Although the two main species are very different, they both listen to the Regent and life goes on.TERRITORY
Thora is a double layer planet. The outside is harsh and ice-covered where the Allos live. It has large cliffs and over water the ice gets thin and it is easy to fall through, it is pockmarked however with craters and red-leaved trees with black bark that grow from the under layer, which makes up an autumn style jungle. Underground there are short and yet extremely thick tries with golden leaves that are hollowed out serve as homes. All trees have blue-black bark and underneath it is a rich brown wood that is exported to the above grounds. They have named Zenith as the icy cold, being the highest points, and Nadir is the chilly forest down below, the lowest part.A large crack in the ice gives way to the largest tree on the planet, which is used on the forest and takes place on the north pole. The tree extends above the ice and the leaves are coated with silver frost. inside is the palace and this is where all of the high rankings live, as well as the teleportation devices are stored here.
RELIGION AND CUSTOMS
Allos and Skaals both live in groups called Clans, however this is the actual definition instead of perhaps the warriors/ff definition that you may have heard. They are all related and lead by the founder or those designated by the previous head of the family, which tends to be the children. They hav territories, although they tend to be large and overlap with Allos in the ice caves. Skaals set up little tree towns that they organize within Zenith. As a custom any who is searching for a mate gets up and leaves their Clan and goes to join another in order to prevent inbreeding, even though they have very low standards and anything goes as they don't have advanced sciences and are rather traditional and do not know about germs or anything like that.
They have a very strict religion however, believing in the Goddess Xinthri. She was a former regent who sacrificed herself in a battle and became the goddess of their world. One could be an Atheist, however it is looked down upon and positions such as the Priests are closed.
Customs are rather interesting, albeit a bit gruesome. As the species both have some form of horn (Skaals have dragon horns) or antler. When exiled these are torn out and tails are docked. They do not grow back. Whilst having none of these is a curse and the rare child born like this is often cast out and may have to go to a different planet to live. However even worse is when they have only one, as everyone has two or more and then some drifing down their back like spines, but having one is considered witchcraft and these people are killed for being sorcerers as all species on Thora despise magic-users.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DO THE SPECIES HERE LOOK LIKE?Allos are antlered and animal-tailed basically humanoids. They have interesting tints to their skin, like blue white or purpley or something and can have any hair color. They are pretty large as well. Skaals are also known as dragonbloods and dragonborn. They can be any light shade of color with darker scales dotting around their cheeks, hairline, eyes, collarbone and shoulders, and legs. They typically have bright amber eyes and have dragonhorns. Think Maleficent. They also have lion-like tails.
DO I HAVE TO PLAY ONE OF THOSE?
No, although it is preferred it is not forced. These species can inbreed with almost anything although hybrids aren't seen as socially acceptable in the group as they tend to dislike everyone.
CAN I PLAY ONE OF THE HIGH POSITIONS?
Right now, you can claim one position as I'm wanting them filled. Please PM me to find more details and you have to remain active or I will demote you.
WHAT AGE CAN THEY REPRODUCE OR ARE CONSIDERED ADULTS?
They can Reproduce, gain positions, and are allowed to leave the planet at the age of thirteen when their horns come in. They age rather speedily past this age and are adult-like less than three years later. However this is dangerous and it is recommended to wait.
