Society

Some figures connected to the lore (scouts, founders, etc) can be viewed Here.

 

Intelligence

Corceïs are on par with humans intellectually, their society being very much like ours. They have complex minds, one of the main features that divide them from all other creatures that can be found on this world; while they rely a lot on their magic, it doesn't mean their technology hasn't evolved; if anything, it is superior to human technology when combined with their magic capabilities.

Technology

As mentioned above, their technology is similar to ours; many corceïs have electronic devices, for example, cellphones, TVs, and computers, while, of course, they are more adapted to their biology, most being entangled with their magical abilities. Though a few things do not exist in their society, funnily enough, like cars, their bodies were made for long periods of travel, and even then, the carriages and teleport stations offer all the comfort they need.

Provinces

Postinen is divided into 17 provinces, in which 12 corceïs can actively live at, each province has its own elected mayor, who is responsible for the entire province politically speaking. You can read more about each province on Postinen.

Jobs

Corceïs have many options for jobs like humans; they can work for big companies that specialize in technology, agriculture, fashion, and all sorts of products demanded by their modern society; many require minor magic usage, especially the cosmetic market with spells.

However, a few jobs are more... Known, the others, such as the Council, Mayors, and, of course, the Scouts; you can check more about each in the Figure Category! (Currently, only scouts are open for the community to use.)

Social Agendas

Their social agendas are not so different from ours; many topics still, even to this day, are reasons for very heated discussions, such as abortion, drug use, etc.

One of the few pretty normalized things, though, is the LGBTQI+ community; in fact, they are pretty welcomed by most corceïs independent of age; there are no laws against same-sex pairs, gender-affirming surgeries (though it is only legally possible once the corceïs is at least a young adult.) surrogacy is quite common as well.

Gender Ideology is also very uncommon in their society, as biological females and males share no physical difference; both are capable just as much as the other sex.

Relationships

They are capable of very, very complex relationships, be they familial, romantic, sexual, platonic, or even negative ones such as enemies; most corceïs tend to have their unique social groups.

Traditions

Some traditions connected to events (seasonal or everyday events) can be viewed Here.

• Stinger Carving/Molding

One of the most common traditions of corceïs is stinger carving/molding!

Many yearlings get the chance to start already shaping their stingers via gradual carving as they grow (some will even carve their horns!) Or, using molds that are changed every month as the stinger develops! Always leave at least one sharp end for the stinger to develop fully.

There are also many ways to contribute to their stinger gaining a particular shape, since as special vitamins that help it grow more prominent, stingers only stop growing once they reach adulthood (you can read more on Life Cycle about their life stages!).

Cors can have those traits for free! You can read more about it on Traits.

Their stingers can be naturally curved, have spikes, extra ends, sharp turns, etc.

However, their stingers do not naturally have slits or openings; they also do not resemble shapes like hearts and stars! So, any stinger with an unnatural shape or even carvings on it will need this trait!

On the right side, you can view an example of a stinger with the Modified Stinger trait and a natural one!

A reminder that both still require to have at least one sharp end! As for horns/stingers with carvings (letters, symbols, etc), you may use the Carved Horn/Stinger trait! Though it does not change the shape of the horn.

 
• Vitae Ritual

Corceïs can share deep and complex relationships with others, fueled by many emotions and circumstances, and with their relationships sharing many similarities to ours, so do certain rituals within their culture.

The Vitae Ritual happens when two corceïs wish to spend their lives by their romantic interest side as mates, corceïs can be mated with multiple individuals as well, it isn't unheard of trios to go through such a ritual.

Normally, the ritual only happens after years of an established relationship between the lovers, and such only happens when both want to be seen as mates formally, or, if they want to secure their rights.

Once they go through this ritual, legally anything obtained by the pair will belong to both, and in case they wish to break the ritual, all their belongings will be split unless an agreement is made.

Some rituals are arranged by families, though,  nowadays just practice is uncommon.

The ritual is normally hosted at temples, with both families attending it, there, an Offertor will lead the ritual (similar to a priest, Offertors are religious leaders that take on the ritual department), and there, both cors will recite their vows, promising to be by each others side even when Thämors separates them, after that, the Offertor will ring a bell between the pair to officialize their union, it is believed that once the bell rings, Zoïta will turn her eyes to the couple, and a single glance is enough to bless their union.

It is also common for the guests to gift the pair and throw seeds on their way.

While it isn't a norm, mated corceïs will often wear matching rings in their horns and/or stingers, usually made of gold, it can be thin, thick, or covered in previous gems and crystals, depending entirely on the couple's taste!

Corceïs that went through the Vitae Ritual will often call each other mates.

 

Language

 

Even when their society is similar to our own, they have their own dialect and numerics! Luckily, it isn't too different from humans, known as Esdan's Alphabet and Fewuni's Numerics.

This calendar was made right after the raising of Postinen, in the year 0 AP (After Positinen), and 2000 years later, this calendar is still widely used; little is known of how the cor before Postinen would organize the years nowadays, such period was named BP (Before Postinen) by the residents of Postinen.

Human Week
Corceïs Week
Monday Dimus

Wednesday Diertio
Thursday Diartus
Friday Estus
Saturday Sedies
(Start of the weekend)
Sunday Seties

Prosthetics

Like humans, corceïs are susceptible to accidents; some may leave with only a few wounds to clean that will eventually become scars, a forever reminder of such accidents.

But now, some cases are... Extreme, that in nature, would be fatal, losing a limb, eye, tail, even their horn can be severely damaged.

However! Thanks to their advanced medicine and technology, they have found ways to overcome such events!

Prosthetics are one of the many ways they have adapted, and the most fun part for our community is that they are free to add to your cor! As long they don't change the natural anatomy of cors! Such as:


• Changing the shape of the legs.
• Horn placement.
• Replace the entire head.
• The prosthetics have to remind a bit of the traits the cor had before the accident,


When submitting your cor, you can select Prosthetics as a trait! And on the trait comments, specify the prosthetic they have if it isn't so visible.
