Ideals
Beauty Ideals
The Rān seek to distance themselves from their orcish cousins, so they find tusks to be unattractive. Those whose tusks are visible often undergo the painful procedure of filing them down or having them removed, altogether.
Similarly, a slight build, which is extremely rare, but not altogether unheard of, is considered exceptionally attractive.
