Hey, guys, let's have some good old setting making time! Some rules tho, restrictions make for a better creative process:
1. Take a single object/concept/group/character etc. from a post of the previous user and expand on it - mentioning other things but focusing on that one subject
2. Keep it short - brevity is a soul of wit and nobody likes walls of texts
3. Let's focus on a single country/kingdom/area - you can mention things outside it but only focus on things inside this area.
4. Put some pictures in your posts, they make a thread more interesting to go through
Ooh! We haven't have one of these threads in a long time! Since there's no starting post, I guess I'll start >The main culture places great cultural importance on food, and believes the act of eating to be sacred
Jaxson Ross
I'll start
Grave Keepers are noble clan of warriors that fight against the undead with blessed weapons and signature Silver Shovels.
By performing a ritualistic burial of the undead they put it to rest and gain some supernatural power from it. During it they commune the Moon and the Night and nobody knows what their angels whisper on their ears.
They are loyal to the Trinity and heroes to the common folk. The Noble Courts however dislike their kind both for their lack of manners and their strong influence on the society.

oh snap, I was too slow
Very well, then how about this
The undead bring with them the Wasting Plague that destroys plants and animals and corrupts the soil - destroying the food sources - the most sacred of things

>As eating is the sacred act of sharing nourishment with our fellows, it's counterpart is the lonely act of meditation as we give back to mother earth what she graciously grants us.
Michael Mitchell
In the early days the poor and those who could not afford food were looked upon as misfits and the degenerates of society. Later after some forgotten king established taxation, even the poor were given food bought from the rich taxed and divided up to deliver to city charities.

>Unbeknownst to most, the ritualistic burial is actual cannibalistic in nature, as the Grave Keepers destroy and prevent the taint of undeath from spreading by ritualistically devouring the undead corpses. The supernatural powers they gain are from consuming and becoming one with the undead essence they eat
>They keep this a secret from all outside of their order
I like where this is going
Jacob Cox
Mayhaps not a tax, but a tithe? Collected and distributed by the Clergy, who all also learn the art of food preparation and preservation. Communion and holidays often involve large feasts prepared by the clergy
Connor Wood
An secret and unspoken of group of Grave Keepers branched away from the clan after discovering that eating the undead before their spirit is ritualistically buried grants them the ability to experience the lives of the in a rush of thoughts, emotions, and life experience. These nefarious keepers are known as the Ghouls and are hunted by the other clan members when found because the Ghouls have began to seek out the wealthy and talented to curse with undeath to devour their spirits instead of releasing them to the afterworld.
Chase Morales
Oh snap, I think we all know where this is going
>Of course, the Burial comes with a price - as the Grave Keeper gains more powers of the undead he becomes less and less alive.
After their 5th ghoul they become cold, after their 5th vampire they stop aging and the more and more the commune with the Moon and the Night, the more alien and "removed" their mind becomes
