Wergild

Fads

There is a craze for burials in the Scéäduwë caused by the discovery of hallowed ground. Their religious rites still require burial within 24 hours of death, however.

Scéäduwëan peasants (and others) are impressed with the near-Renaissance level of Republican technology, which is a far cry from their Dark Ages economy.

matriarchs and their role in the land of the dead

the idea of being at war with the undead for a long time, imposes or suggests That Females would have a greater role in politics and governing the noble houses ( in the land of the dead). Being that most menfolk serve at the wall, the women would be in charge of running the house. So War = men, Politics governing = women. Just a thought. Also how would this affect inheritance among nobilities? Would peasant families adopt the same model ? And how would this change things culturally?

Enoch

Should we institute a reputation system into the game?

Houses of Hospitality and Social Clubs

By tradition, as well as force of law, Hopeful banned pubs, alehouse, biergartens and bars. With the persistent threat of the undead, it seemed wise to eliminate places where they could hunt. (Vampire lore concerning their reputed inability to enter private residences without invitation, and their ability to enter public accommodations freely, led to this imposition.) In their place rose houses of hospitality.

Cobblestones - Prostitutes so poor that they are forced to work in the alleys, i.e., on the cobblestones themselves.
