+ | ===== Culture ===== | ||
+ | ==== Legends, Kings, | ||
+ | For much of Shinneok’s history, the literacy rate among the common people was low; it has only begun to rise recently during | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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, | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 ==== | ||

+ | |||
+ | Shinnean Ninite churches are grand in their construction, | ||

- | * All citizens from age 5-16 must be enrolled in some sort of education whether it be at a public/ | ||
- | * The age of adulthood is 16, upon which citizens gain the right to drink, smoke, own property, and are now legally able to work in an industry. | ||
- | Not a law, but it is good practice for those who live in the countryside to take in travellers for the night. |
