== Culture ==
Jurgs typically live in isolated villages in the forests and tundras of northern Moria. Many Jurgs will live in their home villages for their entire lives. Jurgen society is communal, with resources and skill being shared freely. Greed and intemperance are typically looked down upon. Those who live in the villages typically abhor war and violence, and prefer to avoid contact with outsiders. Jurgs hunt and farm off the local terrain and keep a limited network of trade amongst themselves.
 
Some Jurgs will choose a different lifestyle once they come of age. A new clan of young Jurgs will form and leave the village, living nomadically for several years. Over this time they will practice combat and fight off brigands, outsiders, and illagers who threaten their people. Jurgen warrior bands will never fight other Jurgs unless absolutely necessary. Eventually, the clan will find a place to settle and build a new village.
Line 15 ⟶ 33:
In Jurgen folklore, the Giants are said to be the cursed, weakened forms of a race called the Titans. The Titans were nearly indestructible and brought unspeakable devastation to Alathra. No man, beast, or plant was safe from their wrath. The Titans ravaged the earth for millenia before they were finally stopped by the Jurgen shamans. The ancient witch doctors put a curse upon the Titans that would leave them sickly and confused for eternity. It is unclear what magic keeps the Titans in their weakened forms, but the Jurgs pray to the gods that they stay the way they are now.
