[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8289782, member: 7030132"] There could be debate forums for public debates, not only big ones for high philosophy but also smaller ones for common people maybe integrated in taverns and alehouses. It might be a tabo, or very rude to interrupt other people and literacy might be valued higher than in other areas. (Or controversy, there might be a disdain for written words as oratory abilities are valued higher). There might be some discussion of what is considered art with the existing artist, a prestigious occupation wanting to protect their clique from outsiders, especially upstart peasants who think they produced something of artistic value (even when its really good). They might look down upon fighters and adventurers, seeing them as brute and generally do not value military (they are safe after all), leaving them completely unprepared when something bad happens. There might be an ageing philosopher or artist who lives on his old fame but hasn't produced anything new for decades and while he claims he is working on his masterpiece which will be finished soon™ others believe he is just leeching off his old accomplishments. Some young philosophers have debated the nature of evil and believe that an always evil race like demons or whatever your world has are forced to behave that way by the perception of outsiders and that they are open to debate and logic. They want to prove that they are right by bringing them into the city, completely sure that their debate skill will ensure a peaceful meeting and resent the idea that you might have security close on hand in case something goes wrong. Maybe they want to do it in secret and only reveal it to the city once the deed is done. [/QUOTE]
