History

Culture

Gender Tradition

Celesterra is built upon a patriarchal society where men hold much more power than women. This can be seen in lower levels of society as mostly men go to work while women stay home and watch over children and look after the house. Not only this, but women are not allowed to enter the military and some police forces. In the middle classes women also take on this same role. However, in the upper classes, women are used as bargaining chips for alliances between kingdoms within Celesterra and sometimes even outside of Celesterra. It is also tradition that a man and woman must be bound together in marriage before the void before having children, in the lower classes this is mostly ignored, in middle classes those who ignore this are shunned and in the upper classes you absolutely must be married to have children. Although that is not to say that you must be celibate before marriage, you just must not have children. Marriage is an unequal partnership and allows the man in the relationship to take control. Divorce is allowed but is mostly frowned upon as monogamy is encouraged.
