You can choose to add this section to your Kingdom if you want to flesh out its culture in more depth.
GODS AND RELIGION: (Pantheist, monotheist, or something else? Was your kingdom's religion tolerated by the Mapheri Empire, or suppressed, or actively persecuted? If so, why? Or do your people still follow some variant of the Mapheri religion, worshiping Acquil the Swan with his values of patriarchal defense and personal achievement?)
FOOD: (What does the average meal look/smell/taste like, at an inn or a palace? Is your kingdom known for any specific foods or game animals?)
NOTABLE ARTS: (Is your kingdom known for sculpture, painting, music, dance, rhetoric?)
RELATIONSHIPS: (What attitudes does your kingdom hold on sexuality, marriage, or having children? Strict monogamy? Oppressive or unoppressive polygamy? Arranged marriages? Polyandry? Prostitution? Inter-species relations? Are there any attitudes that would be unusually severe or permissive for a quasi-medieval setting?)
EDUCATION: (Normally, any real education is the province of merchants, bureaucrats, builders, and career scholars, but some kingdoms prize it more than others, or have more opportunities. Does your kingdom have any notable institutions or unusual permissions/restrictions related to education? Are nobles educated?)
DAILY WEAPONS: (Do people travel armed? Would it be normal for your average person to walk with a stick or have a knife in their belt?)
