[QUOTE="The Grumpy Celt, post: 3955251, member: 1019"] What I’ve got so far is; -Class society, almost as rigid as the caste system of the Indian subcontinent. -Criminal system more concerned with fines and material redress and punitive sentences. -Quasi-parliamentary system, with a kind of prime minister, house of lords (I forget the name I’ve given it), the courts (Brehon Courts) and a body (Tanistry Courts) which that names heirs, and thus appoints people to positions. No house of commons or house of representatives. This holds the clans and minor kingdoms together, often against there will. -Duels painfully common, but controlled by law. -Pagans still Polytheistic, more Orthopraxy than Orthodoxy, though they have evolved from something a lot like shamanism and animism to something more codified. The churches feud. -Possess a religious bias. -Mean spirited braggarts. -Prone to unprovoked violence if they think they can get away with it. -Human sacrifice still goes on but only to people convicted of what amounts to capital crimes. -Racist -There are lords of industry in the same way there are lords of land. -Bards can have many duties; including acting as poets, actors, interpreters (multilingual), lawyers, diplomats and so forth. -Headhunters. -Fatalistic in the extreme. -Honor haunted rather than honor centered.
