Organization

In this culture, power is determined by birthright. Warriors are most highly regarded. Women are dominant. Social mobility is completely stagnant.

This religion is shamanistic. People are invited to the holiday gathering, where they partake in reflection and sharing. At chapels, zealots come together for ritual music led by a guru.

Taboos

Singing outside of a designated area is an offense against the natural order.

Eating with one's left hand is considered disrespectful to elders.

Not washing hands before eating is a sign of moral degeneracy.

Touching someone's head is considered very bad luck.

Not covering one's head in public is a violation of ancestral traditions.

Greetings

Music

Gothraki music has a single rhythm with a slow beat. It is loud, with two harmonies. It commonly has a chaotic melody with a high pitch in a G pentatonic minor key. Usually, it has a silky timbre.
