Culture

In the land of Zyrkthraan, a great many people hail from a great many lands. All of these people can be categorized in different ways. Most typically, individuals are categorized first by their culture, then by their profession, and then, as a last resort, by their heritage.

Culture is defined by an individual's upbringing, such as being raised in a community that values mercantile skills above physical strength. While many cultures across the land share similarities in some regards, no two are identical. In addition, a person's heritage is rarely a good indicator of what culture they belong to, as some have immigrated to other lands where they raised their family within the culture that existed there. Cultures do not have clear delineations between them like heritages have, so it is important to regard someone's behaviors as a product of their culture, not due to some physical factor.
