Hume Culture

Hume culture is relatively rich, in the sense that there is a lot of different sources for inspiration among the masses. For a fine example of this, the new coming of the Yui people have affected them quite heavily, having these ALMOST Hume looking brothers has inspired them to begin branching out their knowledge of magic.

The Humes do not worship any one deity, but small religions and cults are scattered throughout its territories often resulting in tiny feud wars. The council would never entrust power to a single religion for fear to cause chaos within it's city.

The preffered artform of the people are usually paintings or drawings, this coming from their love to make sketches and plans for their inventions some might say. Of course a lot of other art forms scatter across the cities of Humes, but those would be the main ones.

Musical arts are also grandiose and developped within the city of New Ashen mostly, there young talent can aspire to become a strange orchestra of the constantly newly invented instruments plaguing the streets of the city daily.

The general culture of the Humes is completely saturated with machines and technology, steamworks permeates their lives from birth to death. They enjoy a complicated and creative lifestyle.

It is said by the eldest of Humes that before the great city of steam that is New Ashen, there lived a peaceful Hume community with no factions with the lieks of the councilmen or the pirates. Simply living in a rural and basic community and helping each other hand in hand.

"Artemis Badgin was the inventor of the first steam engine. it was not before him that we had access to the myriad of great technology that we possess today. It has given us the ability to grow and prosper like no other race in Vortua, we developped Airships and weapons faster and more deadly than the next.

Of course Artemis was a humble bloke, he didn't really talk much to people and certainly didn't flaunt his discovery in his own name but he still made a pretty penny off it by selling it to the councilmen. Technology that was soon stolen by the bloody pirates and put to use in their favor." - Kalen Cooke, age 73, New Ashen slums.

The most current form of keeping records and folklore within the Hume societies lays in books and rudimentary messages scribbled within journals kept about the land. A lot of such tales are passed down from one generation to the next as either bedtime stories or tales to teach a moral lesson of some sort.
