Batlock

Culture

Shared customary codes and values

Batlock share a value of community, hard work, and commitment. Breaking away from these values are found as terrible crimes. One needs to support others and will in turn, be supported.

Common Dress code

While not a code per se it is quite the event to not see a batlock man or woman without some tools of their trade of them. Doctors wear their lab coats everywhere they go or a construction worker keeps their tool belts on at all times in public.
Furthermore are ceremony jackets with various patches denoting their personal/guild history. These honors are awarded by one's guild master during ceremonies unique to towns and individual guilds.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

Batlock Fairs On the first of every month their's a large fair thrown in the center of town where people come together to sing, dance, and play games. To some it means to remind them that work isn't everything, others it means to remind them why they work in the first place. An exert from Jalwood Tremblance's diaries describing the event:
"There is the Batlock fair, a time when everyone in the whole city comes together. It is not an event for one people or another, in my travels I saw all races: man, elf, dwarf and the like, all together having a good time... there was a man trying to sell me spices at one corner and a man trying to sell me oracle bones at another. I must say the number of couples I saw that day were astounding. It seems like a place that wouldn't constitute such feelings but here they are."
It is also a time when competitions will raise to a boil such as physical races, trivia, and assorted carnival challenges. During all of this children are led on field trips orchestrated by their kinderhouses to learn about all the opportunities within the guilds.

Coming of Age Rites

Somewhere between ages 10 to 14 (regional variance) a child is meant to join a guild and be under the hand of a master. Different guilds will have different initiation rites but they all involve getting the signature tools of their trade and their first drink. 
When becoming a journeyman at age 21 or so a party is thrown in the person's honor at their guild hall and given the keys to the workshops no longer needing a master to be watching over them. Whatever the first job needed for their guild is, they will be working on it.

Funerary and Memorial customs

Batlock funerals consist of a burial in a coffin. They are burie with their tool belts to "build the next world" along with a single gold coin in their pocket.

Ideals

Courtship Ideals

"Like hammering a nail, straight forward." - a common saying, commonly used to inspire someone to ask another person out. Some people will say it doesn't entirely make sense but it's widely used none the less.
