Snowy Ahmegg

The Snowy Ahmegg build their civilisations in the icy tundras and taiga forests, harvesting pine needles and other foods from the trees. Their houses are large and have very thick walls to keep in the heat. They are at risk of large creatures hunting them so they all have ivory or white fur. The surrounding area is rich in silver, gold and another metal called Tanc which can be sold for a fortune. It has a blue tint to it and is four times shinier than many other metals, meaning it is a great source of decoration in wealthy households. A Snowy Ahmegg has much thicker fur than the other races and they have smaller ears as a way of preserving body heat.

Shared customary codes and values

A very strong value is to help anyone who is in need. Very often this leads to homeless Snowies being taken into anothers home, almost as if they become part of the family. Or if someone doesn't have a particularly good harvest others will share what they found.

Average technological level

Pretty much the same as Tolkien's dwarves.

Common Dress code

Some Snowies, mostly children, wear thick clothing that cover their whole body to compensate for the cold weather.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Thick soft fur is considered a beauty trait.

Gender Ideals

For males it is to have a great amount of strength as most of the largest predators come from the north. They need to carry large weapons that can cause damage. For females it is to be incredibly agile. Females tend to be good climbers and are more suited towards throwing weapons than large axes and swords.

Courtship Ideals

It is considered courteous for a female to approach the male first and impress them with magic and/or physical ability.

Relationship Ideals

Once in a relationship Snowy Ahmegg commonly work together in most activities to prove their compatibility.
