===== Culture ===== | ===== Culture ===== | ||

+ | ==== Mystery: An Age Old Phenomenon==== | ||
+ | Mystery is the term that Ley’Orkian scholars have applied to the various strange occurrences that occur in the countryside of Ley’Ork. It is unknown why this phenomenon exists only here, but there are a few facts that are certain about Mystery and how it works. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mystery is contained specifically to mainland Ley’Ork, only existing within the 21 states. Within this space, Mystery cannot escape or enter the world at large. Furthermore, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Believing Mystery to be a threat to modern civilization, | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, there are some settlements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Machina and Magic ==== | ||
+ | Much of Ley’Ork’s history has been shaped by developments in technology, with magic only truly becoming a focus of the average citizen after the Dahabi occupation. Throughout much of its early history, magic was exceedingly rare with most settlements only having one magician with rudimentary skills. Then, with the advent of the Harena Engine, the idea of practicing magic became an afterthought. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the modern day, all use of magic is banned by the Ley’Orkian government after the Workers Revolt, and all citizens instead use various machines to fill in the gaps that a society without magic has left. Larger cities such as Metro or Ley’Ork Spire are almost entirely industrialized, | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, there are a few settlements in Southern Ley’Ork that have turned away from the rampant industrialism of the country and instead seek to return to a harmonious existence with nature and the land. These settlements have very little, if any tech, and are often the locales of Mystery. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Religion ==== | ||
+ | Ley’Ork is an agnostic and sometimes even atheist country, with very few having time or care for religion past the surface level. Worship of many gods is outlawed, as is any worship of gods outside the core 14. Gods lawfully worshiped include Anubis, Isis, T’or, Ra, Tarus, Vormaxia, and Zepherin. There are few priests that wield magic, and those who do must keep their craft under wraps or spin it all as “miracle working” as opposed to “arcane arts”. Some more detached Ley’Orkians even believe divine magic to be a hoax; that the gods exist, but do not give power to mortals. | ||
