COSTUME
Nadraks wear a lot of fur.
MEN
Pants, jackets of leather, mid-calf boots, fur caps (pretty Hurulish Or
mongolian). Felt overcoats, belted and ankle-length. Fur robes in
bitter weather. Leather vests in summer. Dress clothing for indoors
is wool, linen or silk.
ARMOR
Breastplates and pointed helmets. Leather jackets with steel plates
sewn on cover arms and shoulders. Same with pants. Long, slightly
curved swords. Daggers. Nadrak clothing is usually black.
WOMEN
Gowns of fairly heavy material - richly ornamented and pretty
concealing.
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
Freer than other Angarak societies. Hunters, woodsmen and miners
tend to be free spirits - their own men, subject directly to the King.
Others are in clans, subject to chieftains. Reverse dowries for women
you pay a man for his daughter - hence the interest in trade and in
profit.
Note on slaves
* This was significantly modified as the character Vella was
developed.-
Among the Nadraks, slaves exist only for insurance
purposes. Slaves are substitutes for Nadraks chosen for sacrifice.
If you're chosen, buy a slave and send him (or her) instead. Thus,
slaves are worked but not seriously mistreated. The freemen - miners,
woodsmen, hunters, etc. are for the most part exempt because
sacrifices are chosen from the clans (so many each).
RANK
The King - Still subservient to Torak and must obey orders brought
to him by Grolims from Mallorea.
