"Peacocks"

On the whole, sylphen culture prizes matters such as honor, personal achievement for the betterment of the country as a whole, and prowess of a militaristic, magical, or intellectual nature. The principle tenets of mainstream Sadromi society teach most a rigid respect for the rules of the institution, instill a sense of obligation and duty toward fellow countrymen, and instruct sylphs in a strict moral code that defines how they interact with the rest of the world. While the "pigeons" who populate most of the country are the most widely-recognized among the other races, the macaw-colored "peacocks" comprise an active and thriving counter-culture along both of Sadrom's seaside coasts.
Owing to their more relaxed history as travelers and traders, tropical sylphs have cultivated a society that is far more easygoing than that of their more militaristic brethren. Once part of separate nations outside Sadrom, they were annexed into the nation as a whole after the fall of the old capital and the beginning of the war between their race and the goblins. Nevertheless, though they likewise prize traits such as loyalty and bravery, their social ties are more family- and community-based with less of an emphasis on the rigid structure that the rest of Sadrom adheres to.
In particular, the most notable differences in peacock culture are their outlooks on such matters as homosexuality and disability. They are accepting of other sylphs regardless of orientation or gender identity, and see no reason to judge or discriminate against those different from themselves. Pigeons, on the other hand, are far stricter about these considerations, particularly with regard to the need for a stable birth rate to provide more soldiers for the state. And where pigeons regard crippled sylphs as a burden, expecting those who cannot fly or are significantly maimed to commit suicide -- both to regain their honor and prevent a drain on their family's resources -- peacocks are both accepting of, and quite willing to rehabilitate, any sylph regardless of able-bodiedness.
