Pecks

Pecks, short and a bit fat, with a sharp nose, by far make up most of the population of Laliratu. Many live in small villages, and farm for a living, but they also have some big cities. Pecks are very religious, believing in their Gods and honouring them often. They don't sleep, but meditate, and during this meditation their hair shortens, so a tired Peck is easily reconized by long unruly hair, which is usually brown. Pecks really like sugar, and eat it with every meal. It "wakes them up", a little like coffee, and thier lands are covered with orchards of every kind of sweet fruit. Their weapons, on the rare occasions when one kingdom offends another, always have a wooden hilt, and the Pecks have mastered the art of rubbing sugar into the hilt, so that if the need arrises, a Peck may lick his sword or club to partly renew his strength.

Exeptions
As with every population, their are oddities among the Pecks, who live differently than their kind. The most prominent examples are the mountain Pecks, who cannot step out of their caves,  and to make up for the trees that they miss, they have constructed a forest of semeth. Because their lives are confined to caves under a mountain, they do not farm and produce their own food, but relie on others to help them, and in turn they pay with many things made of metal. Another example are the Nomad Pecks, who travel and cannot stay in one place for long.

Specks
When a Peck turns three, he is taken to eat a fruit from A Mont ni a Pyto. The number of seeds in the fruit than determines how strong of will and uniqe that individual will be. Few Pecks are honoured, later in their lives, to be servants of the Gods, or Specks, and use these seeds to worship a God that has chosen them. Specks, the caretakers of the temples of the Gods, are respected by all.

Holidays
Pecks have five main holidays:

May Nole - New year, in which Pecks celebrate with festivals and dancing.

Shane - Ki - The day of love, to celebrate the legendary love of Shane and Ki
