==Culture== Hedonistic. ===Strength=== Coric culture values strength and athleticism above all else. The strongest person in the room is the one who can protect those they love; they can defend themself from anyone who seeks to trample them; and they have shown a patience and dedication to improvement of the self that is to be respected. Coronus is a dangerous place: for all the love ignii show to dragons, large species of dragons can and do see them as potential prey. That said, strength is incompatible with cruelty. Cruelty is selfish, lazy, and antithetical to society. Coric people have a very strong sense of justice and how things ought to be, and they will band together to take out anyone they perceive to be abusing their power. That said, this single-minded focus on strength has cultivated a rift in society. Children who are averse to fighting struggle. Often, they face bullying from their peers that gets compounded by worried parents who want them to be able to defend themselves. While things are better once grown--adults don't have such a desperate need to prove themselves, and many places in Coric society include no fighting at all--these reputations can follow. ===Arts and Entertainment=== Mosaics are a common art form. Drums are important in their music. Polyamory is fairly common in Coronus. The heart wants what the heart wants, and if that's multiple people, then the more the merrier. ===Childrearing=== Coric children do attend schools. Education typically takes place outdoors, with a large focus on survival skills alongside more typical topics, such as reading and math. Coric education is very practical: there is always an answer to "when will I use this?" Children are split into cohorts by age, and a cohort will go through its entire education together, from youth to adulthood. Cohorts are passed from teacher to teacher and location to location as they learn their different subjects. There are a few genres of popular names among Coric children: gemstones and metals, famous warriors and dragons, and anything with a hard consonant, something that evokes the clicking and grunting of a dragon. ===Family=== Ignii love their dragon brethren and nearly all will, at some point in their life, befriend a dragon and develop a companionship of some sort. Dragons are part of the family: they might be pets, pests, mounts, assistants, guides, or more. ===Fashions=== Coronus, being a place people fight a lot, favors leather armor. Leathers are easily accessible, since there's a strong culture of hunting and ranching, and it strikes the balance of protective and light, so people can still glide and be agile. Plate armors are not very common outside of serious battle, although chain mail is fairly popular. Outside of armor, most clothes are wool or linen, depending where on the mountains someone lives. Wool where it's cold, linen where it's hot. Scale mail and linothorax are also popular armor types. Even beyond its protective qualities, leather is very popular. There's a massive respect in Coronus for intricate, well-done leatherwork. Fabric is typically more plain and utilitarian to highlight the more complex and visually interesting metal or leather accessories. Corics also love big chunks of shiny rock. Jewelry tends to be large, heavy, and chunky. Raw, uncut stones are featured just as often as faceted ones. Because climbing is a necessary part of some Coric towns, there's also a tendency towards lots of pockets and belts with pouches instead of purses and bags, anything to keep one's hands free and wings unencumbered. Coronus is also known for its quilts. What started as a way to pad clothes for protection and comfort has become quite the art form. ===Death=== Return them to the fires. ===Romance=== Hot dating tips: challenge your future spouse to a duel.
