They believe that as a reward for being a successful business person, for being "Able to Make the Deal" they will be rewarded with entry into the Celestial Market. The better the deals the better their placement within the market. If they fail to meet the basic requirements then they are doomed to wander the wasteland, a desolate barren expanse that surrounds the market on all sides. | |||
==Mythology== | ==Mythology== | ||
All of their myths seem to deal with the concept of "Making the Deal' no matter how. They revolve around various different individuals who as a result of certain questionable activities were able to negotiate deals significant enough to earn them not only entry into the market but prestigious spots near the important central market square. | |||

Based on observation the main driving goal in all of their lives is "Making the Deal." The better the deal, the more prestige they garner from other Korri. Everything is for sale or so they will tell you. While this seems to make them a species of hucksters and bargain dealers it is more a matter of them establishing their credibility among themselves and there position with in their society. It also seems to have an important impact on their spiritual beliefs as well. | |||
===Those with out the gift=== | |||
There is a small minority of their population, approximately 7% to 9% who do no have any psionic ability. They are treated badly, as second class citizens, insulted and forced to do the most menial and demeaning jobs available. | |||
==Culture== | ==Culture== | ||
Very little is know about this aspect of their society at this time however since they do not seem to seek out art of any kind to purchase and will sell anything which includes all kinds of art from other species it is believed that they either do not produce any themselves or produce such a poor quality product that even they do not think it is fit for sale which when you consider some of the junk they buy and sell is saying a lot. | |||
==Customs== | ==Customs== | ||
The most obvious and noticeable one is the requirement for them to place one hand out in front of them flat, with the palm up if they are the seller, palm down if they are the buyer. This is done anytime a deal has been completed. It will be accompanied with the following saying, "Šťastie je moje" which means ''fortune is mine'' if they are the seller and "Príležitosť ma uprednostňuje" which means ''opportunity favors me'' if they are the seller. | |||
