Thurvs are a group of itinerant peoples who predominantly live in the southern wastelands of the Verges, to include the Salt Sands and Norat Flats. Being nomadic, they live mostly in yurts, caravans, and tents. They are marginalized and unfairly portrayed as thieves and cheats; this has in turn led to some Thurvs lashing back at society by embodying this portrayal. Many Thurvs distrust "outsiders", as non-Thurvs are called, and Thurvish culture often clashes with society at large.
Language
While most Thurvs are capable of speaking Canderian, they all speak the Thurvish language, which is said to be nearly impossible to speak unless one is born into the language. This is due to its history.
History
The Thurvs have existed on Lesser Galwyndor since before the 1st Age.
Jogan 2 Incident
In the year 11,781 in the capitol city of Fairstone, a visiting caravan of Thurvs were accused of fraud and cheating. As punishment (their guilt was never substantiated), Jogan ordered the tongues of the entire band cut out, along with those of the rest of their peoples. The Thurvs were then sent into exile in the Verges, which was thought to be the worst place in existence. They formed their own language, having no tongues, and learned to communicate exceptionally well with one another. The future generations, of course, learned the language naturally, in addition to any other standard languages they learned outside of the tribes. Thurvish is, of course, called something else entirely by the Thurvs.
