How we interact with each other

Today the anthropologist asked about how we manage space. there are many answers to this but here are the simplified versions. Our culture encourages closeness. during meals there is hardly any room between you and the next person, when talking with someone it is fine to be close to someone but just out of arms reach would probably be the best. If you pay attention you will notice that most of us use exaggerated arm movements to help explain things. The clothing around the village tends to be shades of blue and white, in honor of the moon. Most are loose fitting but comfortable. In the guild most where their armors to signify their accomplishments. Most armors are form fitting to allow easy movement. When a hunter of villages turns up dead, a day long mourning period is held. it is only a day long because the one in question would want you to move on and progress with the happy things in life. After the grieving process is done the loved one is striped of their armor and burned, in order to prevent sickness. after the burning is done the ashes are scattered in a area blessed by the moonlight, which is usually a open field area. Around the village you will sometimes come across statues or shrines to the moon, or you can go to the Hall that honors  previous hunters that either protected the village or accomplished something great.
