Culture
Over the millennia Dirt has, perhaps, not developed as fast as one might have expected. It can be a dry world at times with large areas, especially in the south, prone to droughts while the north can, at very rare times, suffer debilitating winters. Under the subjugation of the huge empires such as the Haften Empire and the Heinela Cwendrin, some cultural and inventive progression has flourished, but when these greed and lust driven empires have collapsed, the populations have often fragmented into small, sometimes isolationist countries and anything positive from the old has been forgotten. Indeed, sometimes society has regressed.
In consequence, society and culture of the now is little different from that of twelve millennia past and this writer sees little opportunity for change, even in these more peaceful times.
