Cultural Beliefs
Nymphs do not believe in Gods. They only believe in the Royal Family.
Nymphs live in a High Class, yet Lazy society. They spend most days perfecting the same tasks they've done for hundreds of years.
They are a very by the book society. It is INCREDIBLY unsual to have a Nymph that goes against the grain.
Most Nymphs live in expansive wooden homes threaded into canopies of trees that have been around for thousands of years.
The Royals live in a Marble Tower at the edge of the Eternal Lake.
Nymphs and Nomads
It is very common for Nymphs to leave Eldervine in search of adventure, and come back with little Nomads of their own.
It is even more common for Nymphs to leave these babies with wet nursemaids, who will then teach them how to take care of the house and the needs of their Nymph parent.
They are never held to the same standard as full-blooded Nymph children. Emperor rules that they will not even receive the same educations.
There are many Nymphs who disagree with this- but who would ever go against Emperor?
The Tragedy
N'liit seems ever so apprehensive about telling you this tale.
It's not something they like to talk about,
He explains it to you slowly, and accentuates with his hands
every part of his story.
