The Kor are a people of the koren, not a separate biological lineage — the ruling class defined by intricate social customs, composure as obligation, and exile as the ultimate sanction, not by any divergence from koren kind. The Kor are the ruling class of Koren society, bound by an intricate web of social customs and obligations. To be Kor is to master oneself completely - emotions are private battles never to burden others with. Their society values composure, precision, and adherence to tradition above all else. Breaking social custom means exile, a fate worse than death for most Kor.
Every gesture, word, and glance carries meaning in Kor society. They communicate as much through what is left unsaid as through speech itself, reading volumes in the angle of an ear or the position of a tail. This rigid structure has allowed them to build sophisticated civilizations and maintain order for centuries.
