 **Calezaro, The People's Market:** This town is thriving with trade. No taxes are implemented here, and as such merchants from all over Splint and surrounding countries have arrived to trade goods. The city is covered in color, from eye-catching shop signs to paint on the buildings themselves. Calezaro is under the control of the Seaseekers and Kainoa Front, who have come to an uneasy alliance for the sake of the town's peace.
-**Altepetl, Last Bastion of the Serpent:** This relatively small town is tucked away in the north of Splint. Following the retreat of Dahabu in 4524, an enclave of Tonatiu people were left here, having never gone to Itlan-Youali. Altepetl is the only remaining place on Splint that hasn't been touched by Zinaparo or Ley'Ork. No rebel factions are in control here.

 **Yabona, "Little Watermill":** Sitting on the edge of the disputed Splint-Ley'Ork border, Yabona has found itself caught in the middle of more conflict than its people care to face. Few people settle down in Yabona for long, and it has mostly functioned as a pit stop and temporary home for nomadic tribes passing through from the desert or northern bay towards La Sepultura. The home base of the Seaseekers is also located here, and as such this faction has primary control over the town.

 Of course, there is also the great unifier of Splint: pure hatred of Ley’Ork and colonization. This sentiment has trickled down into daily life, with any form of tyranny quickly being put down, usually by force. Splinters are wise to those who might seek to take advantage of them, and are quick to remedy these threats; usually with a fireball to the face or an arrow in the back. People are slow to trust in Splint, but once trust is earned it stays steadfast.
+Religious practice is varied between peoples. A vast majority of the population of Splint believe that change is driven from oneself, not through prayer to a higher power. As such, a majority of the population do not hold  direct faith to the gods. However, as in all places there are those who have no choice but to turn to religion in times of turmoil, becoming vehement worshipers in higher powers to try and maintain some control of their lives. There is one unifying theme in those who worship divinities though, that none pray to any of the aspects of T'or, given a general mistrust and hatred of established forms of government.
 The arts of Splint are focused on performance. While it is impossible to destroy all traces of culture, Ley’Ork has certainly done its best with stamping out permanent or visual indicators of Splinter national identity. Music has mainly developed from work songs, many of which have secret messages woven into them. Common instruments used include light percussion, such as maracas or other shaken instruments, as well as guitars and trumpets. Much Splinter clothing is bright in color and loose-fitting, though many dress more drab when attempting to avoid the colonizer’s gaze.
