culture:balance:sothal

This is an old revision of the document!


Sothal is a traditionally seafaring culture that welcomes travelers. Each city in their isles is its own state, and each holds their own custom. It is a nation of community and unity, and neighbors look to eachother for aid. But, should an outsider cross one, the entire community bands together to hunt them down.

What's their aesthetic? What's the general impression left on the viewer? How do they go about doing this?

Fashion

Do they decorate themselves? What with?

Architecture & Aesthetics

How do they construct things? What do they construct them like?

Sothal, like the other Balance societies, blends technology and magic as much as possible for useful results. This is particularly apparent in their licensing of Hekate products and of their interstellar shipyards.

Tech Focus

What the society's main focus in technology is. It could be that they heavily invest in ballistic weaponry, argricultural growth in an underground plane, or magitek construction, and so on. Essentially, what they're interested in developing towards.

Magic

Sothal heavily focuses on magic. Like the other Balance socieities, Vadral has a magical talent that they pride themselves on beyond any other -

Psionics

Sothal, like all Balance Societies, focused so hard on magic during its history it quite simply forgot psionics existed.

Do they farm? What do they farm? How do they farm?

Horticulture

Do they have any sort of gardening/landscaping habits? Terraforming?

Fauna

Do they keep animals? For food? For play? What kind?

Cooking

What are common cooking traditions? What is a likely flavour profile?

Religion, while once a thing on Balance, faded out of public and private worship shortly after the kingdoms established themselves.

What are common traditions the culture holds? Is it annual, or based on some celestial alignment, or based on weather conditions, and so on.

Birth and Death

How do they celebrate birth? Do they mourn the dead? Etc.

Structure

Seat of Power

Leadership

Law and Crime
