[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6258609, member: 92305"] Illiterate - Most of the subjects in the rural parts of the nation cannot read or write. Where, as, with the coastal people, literacy is quite comon. In interior Argos, written contracts count for little, but a man's word is his bond. Oaths are taken more seriously than any formal law. A person's reputation is as real as a castle but vastly more important. A castle can be rebuilt, but a wounded reputation may never reclaim its original height. Mitran Education - The priests of Mitra are know to educate the poor. This is the primary way the interior citizens learn to read and write--those that can. Interior Poor - The vast majority of the Argosseans in the interior of the nation are quite poor, living a subsistence level existence. Typically, these are serfs living and working their lord's land. Tight Fisted - Argosseans typically take great pride in their nation, wealth, art, infrastructure, and architecture. But, their civic pride ends at their coin purses. There are no charities in Argos, no orphanages, and beggars receive most of their alms from people of other lands. Tithes of Bel - It is common practice, though, for the followers of Bel to pay a tithe of 1sp per character level, per month, to the local priest of Bel. Mitra - Mitra demands that worshippers stand upright before him instead of prostrating themselves. And, the god does not require either man or beast as a sacrifice. He is a god of rights and justice. Most kingdoms that adopt his worship have some sort of minimal human rights that applies to even the lowliest of peasants. The religion empowers people to battle oppression and seek out true justice. Mercy and forgiveness are preached. Some believe that last part (mercy and forgiveness on the battlefield) sparked the code of Chivalry among the Hyborians. Honest, hard work, rather than soldiering or raiding, are venerated. Mitran Temples - are typically plain--not flashy at all. Clean, and simple. Practical. [/QUOTE]
