 ==== Traditions ====
->What are common traditions the culture holds? Is it annual, or based on some celestial alignment, or based on weather conditions, and so on.
+Sothal breaks from the tradition equinox/solstice cycle of celebrations to celebrate two major holidays - one before storm season begins at the end of spring, and one after it concludes midway through fall.
 === Birth and Death ===
->How do they celebrate birth? Do they mourn the dead? Etc.
+Births are celebrated with much gusto in their communities. The dead are cremated and their ashes are used to plant a tree. There is a specific island in Sothal that is used for nothing but burials.
 ====Government====
+Sothal is a series of city states with one high king that presides over them all.
 ===Structure===
+There are 14 city-states (With outlying townships) ruled over by their own minor royal families, with the capital city containing the high king that decides major policies for the nation and leaves the others to act in their stead. The capital city does not fall under the jurisdiction of the high king, but the royal guard - who govern it as a council.

 ===Law and Crime===
+Sothal has laws governing international commerce, but leaves local law up to the locals - this is especially apparent in how they handle justice. Oftentimes (and ESPECIALLY in smaller towns) the able-bodied of the area will band together to hunt down a criminal, often tapping into the more threatening types of shadowmancy to do so.
 ==== Subgroups ====
