|
Aezjarea engages in limited trade with the Sea People, and will trade with those who visit, but do not seek outside contact. |

Aezjareans
regard religion as a community responsibility, and professional
"priests" handle that responsibility for all Aezjarean
communities. Actual personal worship is nearly unknown. |
|
Aezjarean
scholastics focus on further refinement and debate on existing
knowledge. No new research is performed. |

Like Scholastics, the Arts are
pursued subject to accepted styles and themes. Refinement of
existing techniques is regarded as the height of artistic achievement. |
|
Adept
training is readily available for all known forms of arcane study.
Refinement of existing knowledge is the focus. New effects or
applications of effects are rare. |
