Editing Lugian Lore (section)

== Culture ==

Lugians are in love with the earth and works of artifice. They have never been seen to use magic, and discovered and developed [[Chorizite]], the magically inert ore that is forged into mage-killing “hollow” weapons. As Linvak Tukal proves, they are superlative engineers and inventors, with a preference for simple, rugged construction. <ref name=Bestiary/>

=== Religions and Beliefs ===

Strength, Focus, Purity: these words are the lodestones for the Lugian people. They guide them from the womb to the soil.<ref name=ArmMindHeart>2001/04 [[A Reign of Stone]] - [[Arm, Mind, Heart]]</ref> The Traditions of the Heart, the Mind, and the Arm, while having only a small following during the Ceaseless Night on [[Tuu]], have enjoyed a large resurgence after the Second Compact. Even on Dereth, where the Second Compact has become largely meaningless, the Traditions survive.<ref name=ArmMindHeart/>

=== Customs and Traditions ===

Lugian society on Dereth is clannish and structured, employing a rigid caste system and a strict code of honor to enforce order among their ranks. Their five castes, from lowest to highest, are Laigus (commoner), Amploth (artisan), Obeloth (fighter), Lithos (champion), Gigas (governor), Extas (patriarch or matriarch), and Tiatus (smith). Lugians are severe isolationists: intruders in their steadings are slain swiftly and without mercy.<ref name=Bestiary/>
