Tears of Magic - Stronghorn clan
🕑 Added 2021-06-01 15:02:31 +0000 UTCA race of anthropomorphic bulls. They are known for being strong, family oriented and great woodworkers. Although scary at first glance, the "friendly giants" hate violence in most circumstances. The exception is when their families are under threat, making them go berserk in what is often called "seeing red".
Stronghorns have a very romantic view of marriage and family. Once they marry, they are set for life. Since divorce does not exist in their clan, partners are heavily scrutinized before a commitment starts. As part of their traditions, a widow never remarries, to show respect for the loved one. They usually have families of three to four children, which learn very early the rule "if you don't work, you don't eat", due to the harshness of their homeland's terrain.
Their homeland is called Bullevard, located between Tortuga and the Western Sea. The land is very rocky but the soil is fertile, requiring heavy work before it can be used for farming. Bullevard is also famous for their iron oaks, trees extremely difficult to cut down which produce wood as sturdy as iron. Ships made from iron oak are considered the best in the world, only crafted by the most skilled ship builders from the Stronghorn Clan. Most Stronghorns from Bullevard work as farmers, woodcutters or woodworkers, frequently exporting their goods to the Seven Suns nation. The leader of Bullevard, known as the "Bighorn", is chosen based on the contribution done to the clan. Their current Bighorn is an old ship builder named Cian.
