" Okk b'na ngoran Ygolo, sh'kai hwaapo Ygologa. The wiseman speaks, and demonstrates for all that he knows nothing. Have you ever taken a man's head, M'ka'sei? I mean not in Ra'Gadaat, but on the street, because he spoke stupidly and you had to, because your honor, your father's honor, his father's honor, hoa jah kii'Whacca, demanded it? I suspect no, for if you did you would knowthat the po'An-li-li, heads-taken-for-valor are stripped of their flesh and boiled white in the strong water, then put on the display on your hearth-shelf to remind guests to mind their manners at tea. To carry the whole head around is ni-Yoku-sh'bo ygnlo muda-tro-tro ni-Rup-kolo-kola b'hoon tr'suroodeena muda-tw'bambataa b'ki shas'twacca-foo-foo-bini go hw'kk'moo b'yg tasa muda sh'tsi hoso-tw'b'twoosa shi: Unfashionable. For public honor, you take the left dogtooth for wear on a neck-string.

Just look here, at my neck-string. Four-score left dogteeth, not a single right among them! hi-Mangai? Ha ha! Are you trying to kill me with laughter, hi-Suroodeen'sei? That is ku-Manhai, only proper life."

"Tro, a no tro. You're right but also not. My metal may be soft, but when I am struck I bend, and when things get hot, I shine and become liquid, and I slip through all the tiny cracks. You are Ansu-a-no-ans, too hard, too stubborn, and you like your stones crack and become dust. Heads make good chips for counting, but gold makes better marks for living. Heads are too large, and your enemies will always see you coming with them, can smell them, and even after you drop them the smell always sticks around. Makes for hi-mangai, the hard life. Life is too hard already without the weight of so many heads and the stink stink stink. I may wake up on Tu'whacca's side but I will always sleep on the side of Zeht."

It's like a self perpetuating loop of made-up ritualistic [censored]. And it is beautiful.

I seem to recall it being pointed out that Redorans favored Dwemer armor. And in the Redoran Council Hall in Ald'Ruhn, you did see a lot of Dunmer clad in full suits of Dwemer armor.

Redorans go in heavy when they can, and Dwemer isn't bad stuff. If you can't afford ebony, and need a little more than bonemold can offer, it's a good choice.
