Culture

Culture and cultural heritage

The country is situated on a tropical continent, adding a layer of environmental influence to its culture. The climate could impact daily life, agriculture, and the overall lifestyle of the inhabitants.
Fowda's culture stands in stark contrast to the thriving and peaceful country of Ambisie, which is favored by Estanathlei. This sharp disparity might contribute to regional tensions and serve as a source of inspiration for potential plotlines or conflicts in the narrative.

Birth & Baptismal Rites

If you were born in Fowda you have the right to challenge anyone in office to be the new title holder. This challenge is to the death.
How you prove your birthrite can be contested, so it's best if you have integral knowledge of the town or village you grew up in.

Funerary and Memorial customs

Traditional mourning practices associated with death and sorrow might be less prominent. Instead, the focus would be on the positive aspects of the person's life and the continuation of their essence in the natural world.
To prevent desecration in a country where temples of Torva Messor have been targeted, funeral rites may include protective rituals to ensure the peaceful rest of the deceased and ward off any malevolent forces.
Given the worship of a goddess associated with life and earth, the use of natural elements in the funeral rites is likely. Flowers, plants, and other natural materials may be incorporated into the ceremonies as symbols of life and growth.

Common Taboos

Torva Messor is never to be mentioned or honoured.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Scars are seen as marks of pride, especially near life threatening ones.

Courtship Ideals

Both persons in the courtship must prove to their lover's family that they are capable of providing.
For women, this means childbearing, killing/cleaning animals, basic understanding of poisonous plants/fungi, and self defense (tested by the matriarch of the family she'd be joining).
For men, this means political literacy, child rearing, basic understanding of antidotes and healing components, and proper understanding of emotional intelligence.
