Organization

In this culture, power is determined by a merit-based system. Religious leaders are most highly regarded. Women are dominant. Social mobility is only possible through wealth accumulation.

Religion

This religion centers around shamans who interact with the spirit world. They gather quarterly at the shrine for ritual and sharing. Pilgrims meet in temples to engage in chanting and hear from a minister.

Taboos

Pointing the soles of one's feet at someone is considered a sign of madness.

Socializing with the other sex is seen as a threat to social order.

Wearing clothing of the opposite gender is strictly forbidden.

Greetings

Formal situations require the lesser person to kneel. If the status difference is slight, it is only kneeling on one knee. If the status difference is great, the lesser person must prostrate themselves. In informal situations, simple nodding the head is acceptable.

Meals

Design
