ScarletManualOfUprightBearing/ChapterThree

This is my meandering thoughts on the Taboos of the Blessed Isle. In it, I look at four particular groups. Some share Taboos, and some don't- but it's good to consider them all, for a full look at the culture, and what you can ask from whom.

Taboos are organized in orders, from least (First) to greatest (Fifth). Even casual aquintences can persuade someone to break a first order Taboo; third order Taboos are the realm of lifelong allies; Fifth order taboos are society shattering, and those who violate them will appear, from the outside, to be psychotic in their devotion to another.

Sometimes, I couldn't think of a taboo for a given rank. Maybe I'll fill them in later.

Keep in mind, every taboo that could apply to someone does. However, they will not all always apply at these levels, and an individual's Taboos may shift over time. (I'll include mechanics for forcibily doing this... eventually :)
