Home & Food

• Your largest meal is in the evening.
• You don't consider dogs, snakes, or horses to be food. Fish, swine and poultry are common, as is the local forms of shellfish. Only the well off get cattle.
• Killing your own food is common. Most have killed poulty, or at least cleaned a dead hog.
• You eat ...
• Ales and mead are common beverages, and you can find fresh water without too much problems outside town.
• Your home has a wooden floor, and the outhouse is separate building.

Work & Travel

• You work almost every day, except for Templeday. If you're well off, you may spend a second day tended to the family garden.
• Unless you're a merchant, your travels are rarely beyond a day's ride. You've been to a large regional town or city once or twice.

Weather

• You keep warm by a heath in your home.
• Winters are wet and cool. Snow is pretty rare unless you live in the hills.
• Storms are pretty tame, unless you live on the coast. It may rain a lot, but the ridges and hills slow down the most intense weather. On the Balacont plains tornados can be a threat.

Entertainment

• Typical jokes target nogs, the Heteri and Mindat.
• Informal entertainment is storytelling and music.
• Music in drinking in pubs is the common pastime. You may occasional attend a dance or play in town.

Weapons and Warfare

• If you're of better class than a peasant or serf, *someone* in your family probably owns a rifle.
• Unless you've got militia service in your past, you don't carry a sword, though some means of defense is about the house.
• Seeing people die is pretty rare, except for the sick and elderly. You have probably never killed someone.
