Organization

In this culture, power is determined by wealth. Farmers are most highly regarded. Men are dominant. Social mobility is only possible through religious conversion.

Religion

This religion is monotheistic. Weekly gatherings take place every Wednesday. At churches, worshippers come together to seek guidance and wisdom from a guru through ritual dance.

Taboos

Prostitution is considered very bad luck.

Eating animals is strictly forbidden.

Refusing to participate in a religious ritual is believed to bring harm to others.

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

Eating is a competitive activity, with challenges and contests centered around how much or how quickly one can consume.

Design

Whimsical design elements are used in ceremonial and festive contexts.

Music

Odury music has a single rhythm with a very fast beat. It is quiet, with simple harmony. It frequently has a simple melody with a medium pitch in a E chromatic key. Usually, it has a vibrant timbre.
