Changes

But a more nomadic-based modus operandi also developed. Some toors began to adopt aggressive military tactics in order to extort money and resources from wealthy countries, city states and even other toors. Toor armies would raid cities and immediately retreat, making them pretty much invincible. This forced city states to strike deals with many of the toors and send them tributes in order to secure their borders. When such relationships would stabilize, many toors would become invested in the stability of the city states, which would in turn influence their own politics. Toors acting in the interest of the city states they once raided was common and created complicated dynamics in the region.

However, as toors would become wealthier, many of them would begin to develop from nomadic kingdoms into traveling kingdoms, building permanent encampments and cities. This would lead smaller and more nomadic toors to raid them and eventually upend them, either taking their place or forcing them back into a more nomadic lifestyle.

Toors tended to claim large territories, although exact borders were vague and usually unenforceable.

Thus, toor economies tended to cycle through the reliance on their network of sedentary populations to a purely nomadic extortion-style economy and then back again.

By the middle of the second revolution many toors would successfully adopt a hybrid approach, by having a strictly nomadic military that would operate separately from the traveling kingdom, to the point that many armies' allegiance would be kept secret, so as to not implicate the more visible kingdom in extortion.

== Military ==

The military was frequently operated separately from the toor by a [[Tarnarian_royal_ranks|Bortoh]]. The role of Bortoh is the invention of [[Stogen]] that over the years became transformed into an army counterpart to Murdoh, someone who would be the the army administrator. [[Tarnarian_military_ranks|Jeenor]] would be reporting directly to Bortoh, while Bortoh would receive orders either from Murdoh or, more commonly, from the gole.

Adherents of the [[Mōroh]] philosophy are following the [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon Green|Xaewoon Green]]. [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon Blue|Xaewoon Blue]] followers tend to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Thus, the majority of city states of the [[Dantrian calendar|second revolution]] were Xaewoon Blue cities and were in a state of constant conflict with toors. This partially prevented large Xaewoon Blue states, since establishing an infrastructure would be difficult. [[Qep]] and [[Mantar]] were the first regions that managed some sort of autonomy in the second half of the second revolution, with [[Mantareia]] becoming the first state proper in [[Tarnaria]] after Stogen's destruction of [[Empire of Barud|Barud]].

== Religion and culture ==

Toors tended to claim large territories, although exact borders were vague and usually unenforceable, so travel through toors was largely unrestricted and even relatively safe, especially for smaller parties. A border might be watched with more rigor if there was an ongoing dispute or conflict with a neighboring toor. For example, [[Darfe Goldoor]] concentrated a lot of his forces at his northern border due to the feud with [[Kievan]].

Adherents of the [[Mōroh]] philosophy inherently founded and were following [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon Green|Xaewoon Green]]. [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon Blue|Xaewoon Blue]] followers tended to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Thus, the majority of sedentary city states of the [[Dantrian calendar|second revolution]] were Xaewoon Blue cities, which were in a state of perpetual religious disagreement with toors.

However, some toors' economies relied on creating trade routes

In spite of that, religion was rarely a cornerstone of conflicts and disagreements mainly focused on cultural differences. Many Mōroh adherents viewed city dwellers with disdain, even in cases of their own people when these people were legally living in a city, like builders, farmers and members of the murdoh's court. Being on the road was considered more noble.
