World under revision! This world was originally written purely as a Dugeons and Dragons® setting. It is (slowly) being rewritten to be system agnostic When things don't seem to work togewther, this is likely why.
Culture isn't always the same as nationality, and certainly not the same as race. But it shapes not just what people do, but how they think. Some value every individual life while others only focus on society or the will of the gods. A soothing beverage in one place tastes sickly sweet to others. Freedom to some might seem like a sin to others. Safety can be seen as oppression from the outside.
