Laplace: Difference between revisions

Although the locals are now referred to as Araloi collectively, the culture of the city has yet to settle into many distinct cultural practices. As Laplace was formed extremely quickly from a diverse mix of peoples and cultures (now referred to as the Araloi), the unique nature of the city quickly necessitated the development of an easily learnt pidgin language, swiftly dubbed Aralese. This language draws mostly from dwarven vocabulary, with some light elven and human inspiration.

Religion forms an extremely key part of Araloi culture, although paradoxically it is extremelyrather decentralized. The faith surrounding the Crimson Sun is interpreted in extremely varying manners, with continual debates raging over the nature, purpose and significance of the ziggurat and it's symbolism. Some groups have established specific sects or cults where multiple like-minded individuals preach their specific brand of piety. A small number of these sects have been considered dangerous, as they seek to delve deep beneath the ziggurat itself, in order to free something they believe lies beneath...

The nation of the Scarlet Sun Dominion, as well as the city of Laplace itself, is ruled by a council referred to as the Crimson Collective. This council is comprised of individuals deemed crucial to the function of the nation, as well as some individuals granted a position through being a fundamental component of the city, such as the dwarven clan leader. One member of the council has been known to be elevated in times of importance to gain executive control over the city, but these are rare events and normality is quickly restored afterwards.

Wood is the primary import taken into Laplace due to the limited supply available from the gardens within the city itself, andas the nation's territories do not stretchingreach outside of the desert environment.
