Valroni culture

Valroni culture refers to the culture of Valron, which is primarily a mix of Viodoxan culture and foreign influences, stemming from Viodoxan Hanzeizh roots and later fusing with other foreign cultures as people immigrated to the area (notable examples are Aurlunoren and Ryzani). It is rare to find a Valroni whose parents were born in Valron or heritage fully Valroni.

Identity
From the foundation of Valron to the Great Migrations of Valronis back to Valron, the government seperated the people from Lord, High Council, Dyntoi and Commoner. Though in the Autumn of 165 TE, the High Council and Lord Mel decided to make a 6 tier hierarchy starting from Lord, National Assembly, Bourgeois, Artisans, Peasants, Slumsmen and a out of tier group known as the Mandatory Volunteer Workers

Valron's major ethnic group, the Valroni's can be found around the 25% of IAU, 100% of Kingdom of Valron (of course, this is wear its from), >1% of Aurlunor and >1% of Yimmu-Audal, making them a small minority of the world population.

The reason why most of Valronis follow Valroni culture is that most non-Valronis in Valron were assimilated into Valroni culture, though some kept roots of their culture and language. At the same time some non-Valroni culture went in to Valroni culture, like how Ryzani culture had a profound impact on Valroni culture.

Clothing
Valroni people having both summer and winter, have seperate clothings for each. Summer clothing is usually made of silk as it is a light fabric designed to cool the body. Clothing usually a mix of blue, white and gold. pants and dresses usually brown or grey. Women usually have blue diamond embroidery sown at the end of their sleeves with golden tips with a belt made of a mix of leather and iron. In Summer, males usually wear pants and boots if they are going out. Though fashion for male labourers is much different, as they wear a tank top and some trousers, usually made of hemp and paired with a bamboo hat. Valroni clothing has to be cooling as the lowlands of Valron (Valron City, Krigor and Kalai Bali) are usually scorching hot (even going up to 57 degrees celsius) for this silk is used to keep a person cool. In the highlands however they have to be warm as the highlands are known for being very cold.

Tea culture
Tea is a staple drink in Valron.

Artisanal Teapot making
Valroni artisans are extremely skilled at making teapots using a clay that contains a iron oxide, kaolin, quartz and mica and are mixed to create small oxygen bubbles that intensify the flavour of the tea. When tea is poured out of the teapot it creates no splashes and goes out of the spout quick and straight.

Painting
Painting is a small facet of Valroni art. Many painters create their own paints, which are sometimes natural, and sometimes artificial.

Paint-making
Paint-making is an artisan job that involves creating paints. Natural paints would include turmeric, annato and gac. Artificial chemicals used in Valroni painting would include copper sulfate, lead nitrate and copper carbonate. Most paints are either alcohol based or oil based. Artists would grind pigments and mix it with oils. This trade is complex as some pigments if milled too fine or course will make a different colour and mixing the oil with the milled pigments are also extremely hard. Artisan made paint is still popular as machinery couldn't mix the paint properly.

Pottery
Pottery in Valron is an important job as it is a complex trade. Clay has to be fine, but not too fine, and a litte course and clay usually contains compounds like iron oxide and others. Valroni potters would make heavily intricate patterns on their unglazed works and glaze heavily intricate patterns if glazed too. Unglazed earthenware has to smooth which is hard to achieve with a slightly course clay.

Music
An integral part of Valroni music is strings.

Steam powered machines
Steam is the main source of power in Valroni machines. Most machines having turbines. These are mainly used to move things like a wheel or mix things like liquids and dough. These still can not be used in paint making as they are not good enough to mix paints as they are usually too fast or too slow and don't mix the paint properly.
