The dominant and oldest religion has grown up around the worship of the reptiles which are common in the area. Other religions include an elemental fire cult and a relatively new dualistic religion.

Lamb is the predominant food source. Most peasants are shepherd/farmers, who save the fattest and juiciest lamb of the year as an offering for the sacred lizards at the local temples.

Each family of the ruling class also has a family god, usually a legendary ancestor, that only they worship. This god is given small offerings, usually of food or incense, at the last meal of the day and are also honored at a yearly festival, during which the idols are clothed and bejewelled in a lavish style. Families compete to have the most beautifully, and expensively, dressed idol and show them off in grand parade. It is a great disgrace and bad luck for a family to lose the idol, to have their idol destroyed or to be unable to honor it with appropriate gifts.

Women, in this society, are seen as the emotionally stable and controlled gender, while men, though physically stronger, are recognized as being emotionally weaker and more prone to violent, uncontrollable outbursts. Therefore, many governing positions are traditionally held by women.

Among the peoples of the semi-autonomous human province, however, women are culturally seen as emotionally irrational and unaccountable, and willingly submit to the authority and judgement of men, a reality that stupefies the half-orc women, though they realize human men do not seem to share half-orc men's brutishness.

Let's not pursue either of these any further, okay? I'd like this to stay accessible to everyone, and we're bordering on matters that A) are impacted by real-world attitudes, and B) are going to make some people uncomfortable.

Thanks much.

Halflings have escaped the Dominion of Eyros by turning to the sea- they now have gargantuan floating colonies of latched-together ships, rafts, and boats that drift with the currents.
