-Kohrún are odd in that they are living humans, with some considering them an odd subrace, though most consider their distinctions too significant. This is not an arbitrary decision; there are notable differences between Kohrún and man, often more severe than the differences separating a [[Hyr'Norai]] and a [[Sil'Norai]]. To begin with, Kohrún are comparable to undead, though what this means in their case is different than one might expect. They do not smell, look or act as walking corpses, carrying the same level of life-like vibrancy as any member of humanity. Their souls, however, have been changed not to pass on when they die, instead remaining locked within their bodies until they consume significant miasma to revive themselves.

 Their muscles are also constructed of undead tissue. The Kohrún are known to be enduring warriors: while their genetics as the descendants of tall, soldier-like Northmen certainly influences this perception, genetics act as a small contributor to their strength as a warrior-race. Their undead tissue is far more key; their disconnect from pain, unable to feel it to the same degree as most other intelligent life. Their muscles can be torn asunder, burnt or subjected to any method of torture, and they simply will not feel pain in the same way. Most of the nerves within their muscles do not transmit pain to the brain; in fact, they transmit less sensation entirely.

-The Kohrún speak Skaldrúna, a lazy take on Rúnskaldr, which serves as the primary language of the archipelago. It is somewhat similar to Old Kungoðr, Northern Radenor's ancient tongue, as it is a distant descendant from it, altered by hundreds of years of separation. For ease, one can use Norwegian as a reference language for dialogue, with one-to-one translations considered canonical and accurate for the purpose of RP.

 Kohrúnic culture is often described as 'patriarchal' in nature, largely due to their origins as a mostly-male race, then-comprised of warriors and explorers. However, while much of their culture does appear to derive from typically 'male-aligned' aspirational values, this is somewhat inaccurate. Kohrún usually do not differentiate much between themselves in terms of gender and sex. Kohrún lack an emphasis on sexual reproduction within their society, directly as a result of their reanimation cycles. For this reason, the differences between sex are often regarded as mildly arbitrary, or at least of lesser import.
-Rather, someone's role in society is often influenced by their talents or genes. A large, brawny person is more likely to become a soldier or a laborer, and while that may more likely be a man, there are no societal rules precluding the member of any sex from pursuing their ambitions. Kohrúnic society is built largely on merit and competition, and in this way it is a fairly objective society, if equally heartless. Failures are often seen as just that: failures, and almost as a form of eugenics, the most 'incompetent' members of Kohrúnic society are often those unlikely to be weaved back together by their peers after their death, sometimes leaving them to endlessly reanimate only to die again and again.

 The Kohrún are known to be playful, foul, energetic, aggressive and rowdy. They are also an extremely open people, as content to share their stories of recent conversations as they are to share the deep intricacies of their household dynamics, or bedroom activities, or their friend's most embarrassing secrets. Kohrún tend to know everything about everyone; they are famed for being the worst at keeping secrets, revealing them either to tease or show admiration for their peers. Due to this openness, most people in society tend to feel a strong ease at revealing sensitive information, and trusting others, particularly within their Clan.
