Jutora

## Executive

### Systems of Government

Jutorians will have tribe leaders, shamans, and occasionally Kings (though of a much less formal standing), neglecting to follow the traditional governmental standards that 6 of the continents stick to in one way or another.

### How Laws Are Created

In most cases in Jutora, the way laws are decided are simple. If something has a bad effect, on the wildlife or the people, it's declared taboo. If you do something taboo, you're either beaten, banished or killed. There's almost no room to argue, and very few people remain on the side of the taboo breakers. Family and friends included. They're not just the laws of society in Jutora, they're the laws of life.

Here are some of the things considered taboo in Jutora

#### Destruction of Plant Life

Considered the worst taboo of all, destroying the plant life in Jutora is a grievous crime. It's the plant life in Jutora working together as one living, breathing system that gives the land both its life and its magic. If someone jeopardises those things by hurting the plant life, they're liable to face the wrath of their entire tribe. The severity depends on the amount destroyed, whether it just ends up being a slap on the wrist over a shrub, or being brutally beaten and bled to death over a wildfire.

## Inhabitants

### Intelligent Species

##### Cervitaurs

Cervitaurs live scattered across Jutora, though they mainly inhabit the less dense forests and jungle areas more suitable for their slender frames and milder diets. They live in tribes and herds, living nomadic lives as they roam Jutora. A lot of time is spent helping nature grow, conducting druidic rituals and socialising with other members of the herds they live in. Their diets are solely plant-based, and they're known for being excellent foragers.

##### Wood Elves

With a large settlement in the Pallos Forest, and smaller tribes branching out across the rest of the continent, Wood Elves are one of the largest populations in Jutora. Known for their archery and navigation skills, as well as their unnerving ability to see clearly through the night, Jutorian Wood Elves are much more wild and intense than perhaps their more civilised counterparts. Though they maintain some semblance of the organised society that Elves in the outside world have.

##### Jungle Elves

Unlike their Wood Elf cousins, Jungle Elves have maintained none of the organised society that the outside world values. They live in wild, chaotic tribes that rarely speak Common and fully immerse themselves in the environment with no fear of poison, venom or injury. Most wear masks or colourful tribal paints, and they don't trust outsiders until they're proven to be a true part of the jungle.

##### Bugbears

Most commonly found in the denser jungles and forest of Jutora, Bugbears mostly live in tribes and communes focused on shared survival and the preservation of Jutoras nature. Their tribes are very family focused, and they produce many different kinds of traps and poisons that work with the environment instead of destroying it.

##### Lizardfolk

If Bugbears are the trap-setters and developers of Jutorian tribes, the Lizardfolk are the hunter-gatherers that provide them with supplies. They'll be the ones that go out to kill animals and gather plants for the tribes, as well as scouting about and reporting on potential disturbances or threats to the tribe. Their cold-blooded nature and scale camouflage makes them perfect for surviving Jutora's wild jungles.
