383. The nomadic halflings who roam the wildlands have a specific custom that comes from their willingness to interact with most anyone who can get them the materials they need (such as iron). When you first meet a foe, offer him a meal. If he declines, politely offer him a dagger in his stomach.

384. Cloths such as silk, cotton and linen are precious, because the tribe does not have the resources to make much more than wool, and most just wear the skins of animals they have killed.
Seriously, though, you should check out the PbP Haven. You might also like Real Adventures, IF you're cool. | Knights of W.T.F.- Silver Spur Winner | |

From the Tribe of the Rocky Vale
385. Clothes such as silk, cotton and linen are evil. The Gods provide the Tribe with wool and hides, and so wool and hides are the chosen vestments of the Gods. All other manner of fabric is at best frivolous and at worst blasphemy.

I've got some customs, sayings, and culture in the backstory for the barbarian in the campaign I'm working on. Instead of a line or two, I'll just post the whole. Isn't too long.
Thanks for posting - that was a good read!

Ghostbusters. Though in the context of that particular movie, the streams referred to were the nuclear-powered particle streams the title characters used for their profession of ghostbusting. Crossing the streams in the end gave the Ghostbusters enough power to take out Gozer and the Marshmallow Man.
Well, thanks for ruining the movie for me.
Normally, when you're going to completely spoil the plot of something, you put it in one of these:Spoiler:

Just kidding. Of course I've seen Ghostbusters.Bump!

Here's one in honor of my dear friend:
386. From the Horned Gnomes
Green is a sacred color to these people, and emeralds are their totem stone. It is ill-advised to carry emeralds when dealing with members of this tribe, unless you plan to part with them. The tribe's people covet emeralds so much that they will experience an emotional breakdown when separated from them.

- Cleanliness is what separates the predator from the prey. Bathe as often as possible. If your enemy can smell you, you are as good as dead.
- A hunter gives no mercy to its prey.
- A hunter knows what to hunt and when to hunt it. Everything has a time and a place.
- "He swims upstream." = He is doing something worth dying for - and he knows he's going to die.

You have permission to picture me grinning from ear to ear now.
367. Wild Elf Tribe of the Singers at Dusk
Chubbiness is a sign of wealth and health, and men are preferred to wed a woman who has these characteristics. To prevent their men from bringing non-elves in their bloodlines, the clan elders see to it that their women are excused from physically tasking labour, and well-fed.

From the Trollkillers of the Mourning Bog392. It is vital for a warrior to carry a burning flame upon his person at all times. Should your fire go out, you must relight it immediately, lest the Gods think you have abandoned them. Most popular ways for tribesmen to carry their flame: - A burning torch, tied to the top of their pack acts as both a signal to their mates, as well as light and a heat source for traversing the dank bog, also is readily accessible for burning any trolls.
- A bull's-eye lantern, hanging from a belt acts as a less visible, more protected from the elements, method of transporting their flame. Less easily used in a troll-fight, but also attracts fewer trolls.
- Candles are often borne by women and children, but a small group of male warriors have actually taken the step of having a candle's base attached directly to the tops of their heads.
- Flaming weapon enhancements are constantly sought, but rarely attained by tribesmen, only the King currently wields a Flaming Greatclub.

393. A child should know his father's and his mother's clans. The spirits will know the truth, and will be angry with both parents if the child does not know the truth.
394. If a couple year-pledge to lay only with each other, the tribe and the spirits stand witness to that pledge and will be angry with anyone involved in breaking it.
395. The spirits turn their back on such a pledge for any term other than a year, or a pledge sworn while a prior pledge remains unexpired.
396. The person who acts as if another's property is his own, without the consent of the true owner, must return that property twice over.
396a. The rapist, having used the victim's body as if it were his own property, gives over his own body to be the victim's property - with no more rights than a scrap of hide.
"The world does not work the way you have been taught it does. We are not real as such; we exist within The Story. Unfortunately for you, you have inherited a condition from your mother known as Primary Protagonist Syndrome, which means The Story is interested in you. It will find you, and if you are not ready for the narrative strands it will throw at you..." - from Footloose
