Tranorn

A stocky body with a ferocious fighting appetite. These Rhino-like humanoids are tenacious to their core. They are honor-bound hunters who seek glory in battle, and to persevere against unwinnable odds. It's no surprise all of their gods are masterful megabeast hunters, as many seek to carry on the tradition of hunting powerful monsters and beasts. Originally ruling over the known world before the introduction of metal, they now sit at the very bottom politically, struggling to grasp what little they still have.

Physical Description

They stand anywhere between 6' to 7' tall, often weighing about 3 times as much as an ordinary human. Their thick leathery skin adds as a natural defense against most sharp and blunt objects, in addition to their dense bone structure providing ample protection for their organs. Their head comes with two sets of horns, with one closer to their eyes being considerably smaller. In addition they have two enlarged knuckles that protrude and shape into horns once they get into later stages in their lives.

Society

Tranorn society has a strong connection between law, and honor. A well-known example of this is stores, most if not all are not staffed throughout the day yet remain open at all times, allowing anyone to talk in and just take whatever is inside. Most have pottery bowls or baskets you leave behind equivalent wealth with what you took. Breaking societal honor has several negative consequences, such as public shame, loss of honor/pride, and possibly outlawry or duels of honor. Given the lack to validate or double-check forms and peoples words have made most hill-forts welcoming to travelers as there is an innate trust given into them where as most places require trust to be proven.
