Culture
Shared customary codes and values
Among the Rylan, partly because of the values of the god Ebloisdil, and partly because of the legacy of Elod Manalle, there is an expectation that orphans are cared for by the military establishment. The Rylan believe that war is the largest creator of orphans, and it is the responsibility of those who wage war to care for orphans.
Another custom is the gesture involving raising one hand upward with an open palm and then closing the hand to a fist. Done in response to the offer of a handshake, this gesture signifies that the gesturing party harbors no ill-will to the other party, but also refuses the handshake.
Common Etiquette rules
The Rylan typically eat everything with spoons. They also don't serve anything hot. The best you can ask for is a bit warmer than room temperature.
Typical meals include: savory and sour stewed yam stew, sweet and sour baked beaver meat soup, pungent and spicy lightly fried mudhen soup, pungent and spicy baked potato with cinnamon and salt, pungent and sweet lightly fried bok choy soup with cinnamon and salt.
