Lemures Culture
Politics
casual senate, all aegyls allowed to come listen, only senators allowed to speak. very matter of fact, logical, does not concern itself with Ivalice's business. conservative and isolationist.
no military to speak of, more national guard that protects them from yahri beasts and sky pirates. slave trade has been stopped, though sky pirates still pillage for aegyl treasure they believe must be lying around somewhere.
Economy
barter, does not trade, not really an economy, more everyone working for the good of everyone else. s-s-socialist commune?
Education
most taught trades, combat and oral history. aegyl who are striving to become senators learn to read and write.
Hierarchy & Values
stoicism, control and poise are the biggest things in aegyl society still, despite their newly found ability to feel again. should a community member be viewed as emotionally weak or fragile, they will be looked dow upon and constantly patronized. aegyls who feel too much and cannot control their emotions generally leave lemures to live in ivalice- usually dalmasca or bhujerba.
family is extremely important with mothers and fathers seen as equal partners in everything (discipline and nurturing). it is a huge deal to go against parents' wishes. senators are seen as mothers and fathers of the entire aegyl race, deciding what is best for their children. sometimes even referred to as 'mother so and so' and 'father blah'.
virtues: contentment, modesty, integrity, restraint.
vices: selfishness, caprice, vanity and treachery.
Gender & Sexuality
men and women viewed as equals. no clearly defined gender roles. homosexuality okay. just don't ever ever ever date outside of aegyls, very shameful. sex as natural as eating or drinking- a necessity that can be pleasurable. shows in their dress, which is breezy and sparse and considered indecent by humes.
Stereotypes
emotionless, isolationist, indecent, untrustworthy. humes (especially archadians) think they were banished by occurians for wickedness and savagery.
Language(s)
Lemures, though Archadian is becoming increasingly popular due to the sheer volume of texts written in it.
