A holdover from the Dahabi Empire, this city is one of the last bastions of Dahabi culture in the Oxis Alliance, and functions - nominally - as a Dahabu embassy, though the embassy building has been empty for quite a while. | ||

+ | ===== Culture ===== | ||
+ | ==== Legends, Kings, and Wizards ==== | ||
+ | For much of Shinneok’s history, the literacy rate among the common people was low; it has only begun to rise recently during the late reign of the Holy Paladins and extending into King’s Uther’s reign. As such, much of Shinneok’s history was passed down through oral traditions and legends. Even though education has gained more of a focus recently, many stories are still told through the spoken word or via theater. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The legends of Shinneok concern themselves with its royalty, magic, and supernatural beings. Despite all of these things being very real in Cahyali, the majority of Shinneans live simple peasant lives, with many living and dying without even witnessing a single act of magic - not because it is banned or looked down upon in the country, but simply because there are few mages, and the most a small village may have is a single priest. Traveling wizards, therefore, often manage to draw huge crowds - whether they are adventurers come to take care of a threat or simple entertainers there to do parlor tricks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The rulers of Shinneok are viewed as divine intermediaries by the people, and command the utmost respect. While some kings or lords may be unpopular, worries are often assuaged by the insistence that the gods chose them for a reason. Artifacts such as the Lyndal Crown and Caledbreach are taken as signs of this divine power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Religion: Ninism ==== | ||
+ | The religion of Shinneok is markedly different than standard Cahyalic religion - though it still falls under the umbrella of Cahyalism, many Shinneans (and surrounding areas, such as Arenti and Nahrul) believe in the teachings of Ninos. These teachings involve the existence of a single grand deity above the others, which Ninites often simply refer to as “God”. The Cahyalic deities, on the other hand, are seen as saints with their requisite domains and referred to as such, although details of worship often remain similar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shinnean Ninite churches are grand in their construction, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ninism does not proselytize much, as many followers are aware that mainstream Cahyalic faith may see their beliefs as heretical. In addition, many Ninites view mainstream belief as mostly true, just a little misguided, and elect not to fight that particular battle too hard. | ||
