In this culture, power is determined by magical ability. Craftsmen are most highly regarded. Neither gender is dominant. Social mobility is only possible through joining a particular profession or guild.
Religion
This religion has a single all-powerful god. Their community meets quarterly for sermon at midday. At sanctuaries, zealots come together to seek guidance and wisdom from a wise elder through worship.
Taboos

Not addressing someone by their proper title is associated with evil spirits.
