Yorubo

The Yorubo people are primarily concentrated in Miakutia and Jabama. Their lands were not exempt from the terror of the Dragon Kings, but were relatively overlooked due to the Dragon Kings not believing them to be worthwhile.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

The language of the Yorubo is Grigte.

Common Etiquette rules

The Yorubo don't use any utensils. Food is either eaten with the hands or, in the case of soups, slurped directly from the bowl. It is also considered polite to belch after finishing a meal, to show that you enjoyed the food. Yorubo culture has a distinct cuisine. Common main dishes include: sweet and salty curried beluga sturgeon with salt and rosemary, pungent and sour curried beluga sturgeon, bitter and spicy slow-roasted flathead catfish, aromatic and savory slow-roasted pork soup, sour and sweet slow-roasted pork Common desserts include: raspberries, blueberries, and apples The most common alcoholic beverages are: wheat ale made with blueberry that is fizzy, strong apple wine that is dark red in color, strong brandy made with raspberry and rosemary that's golden-hued. See Yorubo for information on their customs for eating and etiquette.

Common Dress code

Men typically wear robes with tight sleeves, mittens, long cloaks, boots, and light caps. On formal occasions, they will accentuate their outfits with colorful sashes. Women typically wear shirts, skirts, mittens, thick coats, buckled boots, tight caps. They also reserve sashes for formal occasions. A woman's sash tends to be much thinner than a man's. Common colors include subdued yellow, white, and black. Decoration tends towards tassels, especially on their sashes. For jewelry, women tend to wear chokers and bracelets, while men typically wear large rings. The most common form of jewelry is zinc with raw opal ore.

Art & Architecture

Buildings have walls made of wide bricks decorated with strips of metal, and roofs are flat and made of thatch. Doors are made of light wood and carved with simple shapes. Windows are small with stained glass. For decoration, wealthier houses and communal buildings often have small pools just outside.   Common instruments include: pig hide multiple-drone bagpipes with red oak-wood drones

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

One common tradition of the Yorubo people is the Festival of the Sashes. Some of the Yorubo who live closer to The Ice Wastes still participate in the Snow's Offering ritual.
