People pay a great deal of attention to time of birth, the phase and position of the moon and stars, and any unusual celestial events.Moonstones are the most common divinatory tool seen among both commoners and the learned. 12 discs are used; silver discs made for that purpose, or silver coins, for the wealthier folk. Others make do with painted wood or clay discs. Their use is simple: they are thrown onto a surface, and then the diviner attempts to make sense of the pattern. Usually it is matched to one of the many named constellations, but sometimes other patterns are seen.========================The Church uses a form of Arcane Mark to brand heretics. The Mark shines through light clothing and any makeup placed over it. If you touch someone who has the Mark, it appears on you as well; anyone who would aid a heretic is obviously a heretic themselves. ========================Dwarves are the descendents of giants, as are most of the goblinoid races.========================The only Monks in the campaign are LE Church assassins, often with one or two levels of cleric. The very few who break away from the Order are hunted like animals for the rest of their lives. (Since I don't allow people to play evil characters, this means any Monk PC comes with a built-in lifelong enemy. They get a couple things to compensate for this).========================The Imperial faiths have a deep and morbid fear of the undead. They always burn their dead so the soul will rise on the smoke and join the afterlife. People who drown to death almost always return as undead. Those who follow the Druidic traditions of the Greatwood always bury their dead so they can join the Underworld (the Greatwood 'heaven' is underground).========================</blockquote>
