Perception
Social Status
Athletes are generally respected for their excellence and discipline as well as lauded as exceptional representatives. Visiting athletes are feted and local athletes are supported by giving them time and funds to train. Some religions and traditional practices use athletic competition as divination or to embody their mythological traditions, incorporating sacred athletes into their formal structure.
Demographics
Athletes compose only about one percent of the population. Most villages and town have one or more local athletes who typically represent them in competitions against other towns or during ceremonial competitions. This informal role passes down every so often as the previous athletes get older and younger ones get more skilled. Separate from local champions, some athletes leave their homes to live a monastic life, dedicating themselves entirely to constant improvement and surrounding themselves with others along the same path. These monasteries are often isolated, self-sufficient settlements, separating themselves from the typical daily life to better follow a strict lifestyle.
