MANNERS
Thulls are not bright enough to have very much in the way of elaborate
etiquette. They tend to be morose" and sour - sullen. The good humor
mentioned previously is a kind of release. They fear the Grolims.
Thullish women will quite literally couple at a moment's notice.
Always on the look-out for a chance at sex.
The court at Thull Mardu is little more than a large household
with the King giving orders like a Sendarian farmer. There is a great
lack of formality among them.

COINAGE
See Gar og Nadrak
COSTUME
Murgo men always wear armor. Mail-shirts to the knee, breast-plates,
pointed helmets, all painted red, covered with black surcoats to
midcalf, substantial boots. Big broadswords and maces in combat,
smallsword otherwise, also daggers. Some ornamentation on helmet and
surcoat to indicate rank.
Murgo women are always kept in harems. Clothing is filmy and
diaphanous.
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
This is a military society and is rigidly organized. Divided into
companies, battalions, regiments, etc. All rank is military' The
society in the known part of Cthol Murgos is in actuality a sham set up to
resemble a semi-normal society. This is also true of Murgo merchants.
They are all spies. The seeming society in Rak Goska is a complete
stage setting. Murgos are trained there for excursion into the west.
All work in Murgo society is done by slaves.
The real cities of the Murgos lie to the south and are unknown
to westerners. They are actually base housing type cities - military
posts.
Murgo men have more than one wife - up to four. One route to
promotion is to produce lots of kids.
There are other peoples (unknown to the west) to the south of
Cthol Murgos. These peoples are quite primitive and provide slaves.
There was an effort during the Angarak invasion of the 4860s to
move a huge column of Murgos through the southern mountains to
strike into southern Tolnedra, but the column started out too early
and was overwhelmed by a spring blizzard in the mountains. If they
had made it, the west would have fallen. There are literally millions
of Murgos.
