==Corgyn Culture== ===Society=== Corgyn social structure is largely patriarchal clan based with little in the way of centralized government. However, due to their amicable dispositions, waring is extremely rare between the many Corgyn clans and villages. Wanderlust is romanticized, but usually frowned upon, though occasionally a young Corgyn will set out to seek adventure in one of the Dwarven trading ports. The primary farming crop is livestock, the majority of which is sheep and goats, with smatterings of bovine and fowl. The rocky highland terrain is good for little in the way of crops but potatoes and other low ground crops are staples of Corgyn diets. The Corgyn race usually fill their time with the duties of protector and warrior, serving as guards, clerics, bodyguards, mercenaries and soldiers. Arts of magic are known to the Corgyn, but are not commonly practiced. Corgyn bards are well respected and liked in Corgyn'Bre, the songs of lore they sing of their mythology and heroes being the primary unifying aspect of their society. They in fact have a contest of the bards every ten years where the best bard from across Corgyn'Bre and every clan is chosen to go off to mediate the wishes of the Fey. ===Origins=== Being a relatively isolated race, Corgyn origins are not well known among the other races of the Unified Setting, and bringing up the subject with those of the race would get an uncharacteristic frown and a brick wall of silence. For the benefit of those who wish to play Corgyn, they were created as a servant race to the Fey. It's a dark secret and burden for the Corgyn, one which they do not even discuss amongst themselves. ===Mythology and Legends=== Corgyn Mythology is based on a primary pantheon of two Gods with several lesser demi-deities. As it goes, the sun deity, Danann (Quiet Joy, Loving Mother, Creator of the world) runs across the sky, trying to escape the darkness while the moon deity, Dagda (Loud Sorrow, Steadfast Father) chases her into eternity. Being enveloped by darkness, he is often unable to catch her. Instead of being totally in darkness, Dagda is continuously inspired by reflecting Danann's radiant beauty upon the world. As such, full moons tend to be good omens while new moons speak of dark omens. Every solar eclipse marks a festival of marriage and family, as it signifies Dagda finally catching Danann.
