The Ambrosians live in a camp hidden deep in the woodlands. Homes are typically smaller huts, and the main buildings are quite spacious. Structures are built and often inset around the larger curved trees, which help them survive the violent weather patterns that are common for the planet. Typically, the common men and women wear simple robes of varying lengths that are tied at the waist. Those of higher rank and stature may wear more complicated robes, with furs, feathers, and other decorations. The Witch Doctor is particularly known for his eccentric robes and headdresses. | |||
They have a process of 'bonding' or wedding. Pregnant women who are not bonded may be killed to avert shaming the family. Other details are sketchy. | |||
Ambrosians are generally peaceful, but they are easily capable of defending themselves from the local predators. The most prominant local predators would be the gangs of Pygmies that rove the forests. They are typically no more than 3 feet tall, and have only their incredibly sharp teeth to fight with, but have learned to use small weapons (rocks, stolen daggers) to aid them in their hunting. Most often they simply overwhelm their prey by sheer numbers, and quite literally tear it to bits. They are capable climbers, and may ambush their prey from the treetops. They tend to make a "chittering" noise. | |||
