Cultural Overview
Origins
The Pëlöryk are descendant from a slave soldier from the god wars. The scattered survivors became feral and slowly evolved to their present state.
Geography
Pëlöryk of one kind or another are found throughout Annexea in wilderness regions. Each warren will claim a fairly large territory as their hunting range, and they will war with each other if they intrude upon claimed territory.
Language
All Pëlöryk communicate using a variant of the Pëlöryk language. When Pëlöryk hatch, they are already fluent with a small vocabulary, due to their genetic racial memory.
Family
Pëlöryk warrens are composed of related creatures.
Structure / Size
A typical warren numbers between 50-100 members, lead by a single breeding pair. The warren's members will form packs of perhaps a dozen members who mirror the hierarchy of the warren as a whole.
Roles of Family Members
- Chief
- The most powerful male in the colony will be the defacto leader, claiming the right to breed with the colonies Brood Queen.
- Brood Queen
- Every colony has one queen, who is fertile and capable producing broods of eggs to replenish the warren's numbers.
- Hunters/Warriors
- The remainder of the colony serve are hunters feeding the colony and warriors defending the warren's territorial claim.
- Crafters
- When not hunting or warring with encroaching neighbours some members of the colony will turn to crafting tools, weapons, and other items required by the warren.
Importance
The concept of relatedness is a minor one to the Pëlöryk, they value strength and power more. New hatchlings may retain some attachment towards their mother, but it fades in time due to the pressure to find ones place in the pack and warren hierarchies.
Influence
Loyalty among related pëlöryk plays a small role in keeping the tribe cohesive, but brotherly ties only go so far when considering a chance at being the top male of the colony. Pëlöryk of the same brood will tend to form packs together.
