Hello everyone,
I am interested in roleplaying an Au'ra from the Sagahl tribe, and their little lore snippet says this:
"A tribe which sees all beastkin as equals with man, therefore refuses to eat or use them as beasts of burden. As a result, the diet of the Sagahl mainly consists of steppe shrubs and vilekin."
My questions stem from how far they take these decrees. For example, in regards to the beasts, are they willing to drink milk from animals or use their fur, so long as they aren't harmed in any manner? I am thinking they probably wouldn't though, if they truly see them as equals to their own race. Afterall, most Au'ra would not drink the milk of one another (save for babies) or then shave their hair off to use for clothing, as an example. (I hope!)
Is there anything in the lore to suggest otherwise? Even just a NPC?
And also, what kind of clothing do they wear? If any at all.. I discussed this with another person who studies history, and even he thinks they are probably a 'stunted' sortof people who likely don't wear much, if any clothing at all. We thought of various plants that might be harvested and turned into workable fibers by hand (like jute or cotton), but it would be incredibly tedious and difficult without animals to help plant and otherwise. That's assuming those types of plants grow in Othard to begin with.
The other thought was that maybe they use magic to help with such things, but I'd hate to immediately jump to that conclusion.. Another thought was that they somehow use the vilekin (like the huge ants) to help work, given they also eat these creatures, so they would likely have no trouble making them into workers as well.
I would appreciate any thoughts or insight from anyone who happened to read through my long post! Thank you in advance.
