Of course all peoples have their own traditions and beliefs that are practiced. For the most part these traditions will be universal, some traditions are strictly regional. Some smaller groups of people who are nomadic, do not have claims to any Kingdom, or are from Kingdoms far from the mainland do not typically follow all of these traditions but usually most of them.

Marriage
-----------------
A very common practice across all Kingdoms. Often arranged for political, monetary, or to prove alliance between two Houses. Most often the woman takes the name and House of her husband, but if a woman comes from a House of great power, the man may abandon his House instead and join that of his wife's. Divorces are not practiced in the Kingdoms.

Trial By Combat
-----------------------
In times where a subject is sentenced to death they take claim to a Trial By Combat, fighting themselves or asking someone to fight for them, they will challenge someone of the Royal Court's choosing. If they win they are free of their charges and deemed innocent in the eyes of the Kingdom.

Language
-------------------
All settled lands on the continent speak the common tongue (English) Kingdoms off of the mainland may speak other languages but usually know the common  tongue. Some parts of the Kingdom may still hold their old languages as a tradition, such as in the Swamplands region of the mainland.

Religion
----------------
Religion varies in many parts of the world. On the mainland continent there are two different religions, to the west of the mountain range they follow a system that believes in three Gods. They are the Gods of: Life, Death, and Nature. The other popular religion believes in a system of five Gods: Fertility, Fate, Love, Light, and Darkness.

Name Sake
-----------------------
When meeting new characters they may ask of your name sake. Especially the King/Queen will ask this a lot, I mean how many people does a King/Queen meet, they can't remember every face, so remind them who you are in the greeting. A small list of who you are, where your from, and what you've accomplished. And also if you share a name in your family.

Here is an example, lets say King Joseph Tomlin from Casamas, a decorated war hero who rode across the sea to claim an island comes along and he was named after his father.

His name sake would be: King Joseph, Second of his name, of House Tomlin from Casamas. Taker of the Ancient Sea and Keeper of the Bourbon Islands.

Magic and creatures
----------------------------
Mythical creatures like Dragons are long extinct, the occasional Giant still roam the freelands. Typically untameable by man.

When it comes to magic, it will be used in very scarce situations and only under the Producers consent.
Places like the Swamplands practice Voodoo, and some doubt it's power.
