Species information.
About the Woran.
The Woran, or Lupus Arietem, is a species that has only recently been discovered. It has a wolf-like build, with thick fur ranging all over its body. It has thick, stocky legs, and large paws, giving it the working build it has. When it comes to running, due to these legs and paws, it is bad at long distances, but can sprint rather well. It has tufted ears, and ram horns circling said ears. Its tail is long and fluffy, easily reaching the ground, and has fur that starts ar the 'elbows' and falls down to its paws. Like us, the Woran have their own communication system, however, to anyone but them it appears as barks or grunts.
Like us, the Woran have a large intellect, allowing them to have a society like us humans do. They live in a large city, which has stone buildings and cobbled streets. Towards the north of the city, the Worans have a castle built for their royal family. Amongst the city, your rank is determined by the colour of one's horns. If you were born a slave, for example, your horns would be brown. It is possible to 'rank up' amongst the city, but it is extremely expensive, as not only do you have to 'buy' the rank, but also it requires comissioning a dye artist to dye your horns the colour of your rank. However, despite this process, it is impossible to rank up to the royal family or nobles.
The highest rank amongst the city. To get into this ranking, you must be born or married into it. This ranking consists of the king, queen, and royal children. They are effectively the leaders of Woran society. They have golden horns.
King ::
Queen :: Unnamed
Royal Children ::
The second highest ranking in the city. Like the Royal Family, you may not be ranked up into the Nobles ranking, you must be born into it. Nobles are effectively the richer people amongst the city, and the King's right hand Woran. They have green horns.
This is the third highest ranking amongst the city, and are effectively the guards of the city. They keep the peace and protect the Royal family. You may be ranked up into the King's men, but need to be trained when doing so. They have black or grey horns.
Traders amongst the city. These Woran trade in food, dyes, jewellery and other such items. Most Woran inhibit this ranking in their society, it providing enough pay for most families and the variety of work available. They have blue horns, and you may rank up to them.
Also referred to as a 'travelling circus' by the elders of the city. Gypsies are effectively dancers and ones who produce shows for entertainment. However, they also can be seen as sly Woran. You may be ranked up into the Gypsy community. They have red horns.
These are the Woran that work for others voluntarily. They can be either male or female, though most often females resort to this work. They are given enough pay for their job, but it isn't enough to lead a wealthy lifestyle. You may be ranked up to a maid, and so gain white horns.
Those that are bought and sold as if possessions. They work for people unwillingly and don't' get to quit at choice. Generally male slaves are used for brute work, and females are used for enjoyment. They have brown horns.
