Kerox

The Kerox are Rhinofolk; once scattered tribes through Gallus intent on war between themselves, until a single tribal chief learned the secrets to bonding with local animals, effectively weaponizing dire rhino and dire hippos and forcibly uniting the clans. Now, hundreds of years later, the Kerox are a military force to be respected on the continent of Gallus. While some families have moved beyond the warminded ways of their ancestors and integrated with Gallusian society at large, a large group of Kerox continue their exclusionary ways and have carved out a place in Gallus that they call the "Redhorn Empire". With an army of well trained warriors, and massive engines of war in their siege rhinos and hippos, they are a constant shadow over the hopeful peace of the lands. Though in present day there is a tense peace with the rest of Gallusian society, they regularly will make displays of power that some say tread the line of acceptable actions for those intent on keeping peace. Kerox are generally confident, powerful, and brash, looking for opportunities to go charging horn first into a problem.

Culture

Coming of Age Rites

At age 14 the Kerox have a ritual that welcomes the young into adulthood, though how the Rite of the Horn is conducted differs from place to place. Usually there is a test of combat, some form of a hunt, and then the reciting of the chiefs leading back to their first unifying chief (or a speech) before a large feast where their kill is served as the main course.
