Society[edit]
Values: Its knowledgeable - the mages or scientists
Ruling class: the royal family
Worst vice or flaw: stupidity
Culture[edit]
Ethics
Good people are expected to be modest and filial.
Evil is defined as indifference, envy, and despair.
Taboo subjects are wearing certain colors, certain clothing, and often using certain language.
Attitudes
The spirit world includes mischievious spirits, angry ghosts, and often ambivolent nature spirits. The average person avoids any spirits, and more rarely is cautious about them.
The highest art forms are calligraphy, woodcarving, and sometimes instrumental music.
Outsiders are usually mistrusted, and sometimes ignored.
Adulthood
Coming-of-age rites require getting tattooed/scarified, performing an ordeal, and more rarely being purified.
Education[edit]
Education is divided by social class.
Current Fashion[edit]
This style emphasizes plain, billowing silver and pale gold garments. Tops are typically long with plunging necklines. Corsets and hosiery are also customary. Buttons and stripes are staples of the style. Grey-green, dark grey, and tan are also common colours.
Marriage[edit]
Marriage is prompted by pregnancy, arranged at birth, and not between up to 2 people.
Initiating or arranging a marriage is usually a father's' role, and not a feminine role. Marriages usually include legal paperwork signing, and not mock attempts to buy back one of the marriage parties.
Funerary Rites[edit]
Death rites require sacrificing people to accompany the deceased, clergical supervision, and often more than 13 days seclusion for kin. Bodies are buried in a river.
