## Anatomy, Appearance and Behavior

Most Agregarus appear as half-humanoid, half-goat creatures that stem from a cross between nature spirits and humans. Most Agregarus are easily identified by their stout build, with fur-covered lower bodies and legs and cloven hooves similar to those of a goat. Similarly, goat-like horns topped their heads; these came in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small nubs to big curling ones akin to a ram. They were typically seen with facial hair. Agregarus are known for their hedonistic tendencies. They typically lack restraint and will follow whichever of their fancies they desire at the time.

Agregarus were well known for being curious. They were willing to go to any length to achieve their desires, giving little thought to the results of their actions, and often roped other creatures into participating in debauchery.

Agregarus possessing goat-like legs, they tend to have increased speed and agility. Being closely akin to nature spirits, they have a resistance to nature based magics but a weakness to fire both natural and magical.

## Social structure

Agregarus have a well-earned reputation for their good spirits, gregarious personalities, and love of revels. Most Agregarus are driven by two simple desires; to see the world and to sample its every pleasure. While their spontaneity and whimsy sometimes put them at odds with more stoic peoples, Agregarus rarely let the moodiness of others hinder their own happiness.

Agregarus speak the language of the wilds. Agregarus have their own Gods that they honor at large stone temples, mainly them being from the Green Pantheon. Most Agregarus have a few of these gods that they personally worship based on their homeland, trade, or lifestyle. Agregarus culture values artistic talent and a lack of inhibition as the highest virtues.

Agregarus rely on their subjects to perform much of the hard labor and artisan’s crafts. Slaves are also employed in this kind of work. Instead of getting their hooves dirty, Agregarus throw themselves into academics, art, and religious devotion. Agregarus claim to be the most talented sculptors and painters on Interra Gloria, though this is disputed by some of the other races respectively. They also love architecture, and their stone buildings are indisputably the largest and most impressive in the modern era. However, it is said that for every one Agregarus devoted to their work, there are another nine who view it as nothing more than a break from the drunken parties that are their true passion.

Due to the cultural differences noted above, Agregarus family life can vary wildly. Unlike the extended family households typical of most races, Agregarus have professions dedicated to the care of the young and old. This allows parents to be somewhat absent from caring for their parents and offspring, ideally freeing them up to fight in wars or tend the local temple. This doesn’t mean the idea of the family isn’t important to the Agregarus, however. Rather than being a place for nurturing and learning, Agregarus use the family primarily as a method to pass property and titles from one generation to the next. A lot of pressure is placed on the oldest male child to marry a Agregarus wife of similar social standing. His siblings, on the other hand, are free to do whatever they wish.

Agregarus are reviled by some for their trickster tendencies and loose morals and loved by others for the same reason. Because they can adapt to almost any climate, nearly every nation on Interra Gloria has at least one Agregarus-related story to tell. Generally speaking, Elves get along the worst with Agregarus because they are often at war with one another. Though they share a lot in common culturally but resent the Agregarus for conquering territories they once ruled. Agregarus get along best with any race that culturally who shares their love of drunken debauchery.

Agregarus men usually go shirtless, The women tend to wear free flowing outfits such as loose dresses. All Agregarus have clothing for religious observances, Agregarus of means typically wear a toga and/or leather armor when they are clothed.

### **Traditions**

Most Agregarus simply wander wherever their whims take them, following impulses and living off the land. When they congregate, it’s usually for a “revel”. Revels are parties, but where humanoids might celebrate for an evening with food and wine, Agregarus can spend weeks indulging in every sensation imaginable before finally settling down in the rubble.

## Religion

Agregarus are free to choose whatever deity they wish, though the worship of that being is always done at a stone temple or large stone altar. They are well known to worship deities in the Green Pantheon, Agregarus are also known to serve unicorns whenever one dwelled within their forest, these beasts were venerated and anyone killing one would instantly meet the angry side of any Agregarus that happens to witness or discover such an act.

## Architecture

Agregarus Structures were often constructed out of stone and surrounded by nature. Often possessing the most beautiful of flora-filled gardens.

## Society

Originating in the Wild Woods — a realm of pure emotion where the trees are taller than the biggest of mountains and the wildlife being comprised of purely magical creatures. Fairies and Elves are often some of the most common species you will encounter here alongside the Agregarus who thrive on the energy of merriment, the magic of their realm has given them an innate ability to perform, to delight, and to resist magical intrustion. While they’re usually found in the Wild Woods, Agregarus do wander to other realms of existence, most often to the Overworld. There they seek to bring a bit of their home realms’s splendor to other worlds.
