Batavian nobility works pretty much like any ordinary human nobility. The nobility is made up of Houses which the Batavians call 'Huizes'. Any family can become Batavian nobility as long as they have a loyal and well mannered family, have the Batavian culture and are granted the title of nobility by the Stadhouder. If there's a large area of land that needs to be ruled by Batavians, the feudal system is in place and various Houses get appointed a piece of land by the Stadhouder. They rule over the area for him in his name and can use it as they wish. In turn, these nobles provide militial or economic aid to the Stadhouder.

The most prominent tradition in the Batavian culture is the Saint Nicholas fest. This is the celebration of Saint Nicholas' birthday. In Batavian folklore, the Saint was the patron saint of children, sailors, tradesmen, bankers, students and dedicants, archers and brewers. This caused Saint Nicholas to become the most popular Saint amongst the Batavian people and thus his birthday became a cultural celebration. On Saint Nicholas fest, which is called Sint Nikolaas feest in Batavian, children and even some adults put their footwear by the door or fireplace and pray to the Saint or sing songs to him. If, according to the Saint, the person has been good in the past year, they receive presents and treats. However, if the Saint thinks they have been bad or sinned too much in the past year, they receive salt. In reality it's the children's parents or the ruling figure in the Batavian society that delivers the gift since the Saint is long gone. The fest is celebrated once in an Elven year (5th of december). The Saint Nicolas fest is very similar to and thought to have shared origins with [[Krugmas]], which is also still celebrated by Batavians.

The most pwominent twadition in the Batavian cultule is the Saint Nichowas fest. This is the cewebration of Saint Nichowas' biwthday. In Batavian fowkwowe, the Saint was the patwon saint of chiwdwen, saiwows, twadesmen, bankews, students and dedicants, awchews and brewews. This caused Saint Nichowas to become the most populaw Saint amongst the Batavian peopwe and thus his biwthday became a cultulaw cewebration. On Saint Nichowas fest, which is cawwed Sint Nikowaas feest in Batavian, chiwdwen and even some adults put theiw footweaw by the doow ow fiwepwace and pway to the Saint ow sing songs to him. If, accowding to the Saint, the pewson has been good in the past yeaw, they weceive pwesents and tweats. Howevew, if the Saint thinks they have been bad ow sinned too much in the past yeaw, they weceive sawt.

Because the Batavian culture has existed under the reign of Oren for most of it's existance, the religion of the culture is canonist. However, Batavian people aren't strictly canonist because they see religion as a private matter that any individual can choose for themselves. This means that within the Batavian culture there is a respected freedom of religion which has led to Batavian people following the True Faith, the Owynist Faith and other branch offs of canonism, but also aspectism and other deities. Despite the religious freedom there are limits and 'heretical' religions and spiritualism are frowned upon, religions that are influenced by any form of dark magic or being are forbidden.

Batavi people like to consider themselves well-cultured. They enjoy many kinds of music and value good books, paintings, craftwork and the likings very highly. There is an old Batavian saying that says "Our refinement in culture is how we prove ourselves to the Creator" and therefore many Batavians strife to developing cultural masterpieces. What is considered by many Batavians to be the ultimate goal in the cultural field is being able to call yourself a 'homo universalis'. This means being someone who excels in basically any form of culture, be it math, writing, painting or playing music.

Members of the community can take turns in stepping forth to play a song or sing one, showing off their musical skills. Of course drinking beer and the likes is a big part of evenings such as these, and it has become common sense to throw anyone who dares to interrupt a music piece into a nearby pond, river or other body of water.

The Batavian Cultule is shawed by Batavian peopwe acwoss the weawm. In the yeaw 1624 Batavians fwom valious nations united to cweate the Distlict of Batavia in Sutica which became the home of Batavian Cultule. Peopwe of Batavian descend ow lith Batavian cultule awe cawwed Batavians ow Batavi peopwe. The cultule is a sub cultule of Human cultule and is thought to have oliginated in Owen. In Axios, Batavi peopwe oliginated mostwy fwom Owen, Wowwaine and Haense. Hewe's a littwe mowe about the cultule.

History

The cultule is a sub cultule of Human cultule and is thought to have oliginated in Owen. In Axios, Batavi peopwe oliginated mostwy fwom Owen, Wowwaine and Haense. The unification of Batavians acwoss the weawm happened in the yeaw 1624, when Willem Hagelijn I and Adliaan de Witt founded the Distlict of Batavia, a smaww neighboulhood in the Sutican capitaw. Soon mowe Batavians moved in and theiw smaww community stawted to gwow, the Batavian cultule now had a pwopew home to it wathew than it being spwead amongst human fawmews and fishewman in valious countlies.

Geography

The cultule has wemained lith the Batavian peopwe mostwy, apawt fwom some genewaw Heawtwandews hewe and thewe, and these peopwe tended to awways settwe in fwatwands ow fowests, neaw any decent sized body of watew whewe they could fish.

Society

Batavian society is vewy based on cowwabowation. The Batavi wook weww aftew eachothew and wowk togethew to achieve theiw common goaws. An impowtant factow in this is the so cawwed "Gemenebest Systeem" ow Commonweawth system, this ensules that thewe's awways fwee food, housing and pwotection by the wocaw defense fowce fow the membews of the community.

Government

The Batavian weadewship exists of thwee pawts, Stadhoudew, Waadspensionalis and the Waad. The Stadhoudew is the officiaw name of the Batavian weadew and is typicawwy the onwy function of weadewship in a smaww Batavian community. The Waadspensionalis is the name of the the second in command of the Stadhoudew and is his pewsonaw secwetawy. He is awso the main advisow of the Stadhoudew and togethew lith him they wead ovew the Waad. 'Waad' is Batavian fow two things, counciw, but awso advice, and that's exactwy the job of this counciw, to advice the Stadhoudew and to make him awawe of potentiaw pwobrems.

Nobility

Batavian nobility wowks pwetty much like any owdinawy human nobility. The nobility is made up of Houses which the Batavians caww 'Huizes'. Any famiwy can become Batavian nobility as wong as they have a woyaw and weww mannewed famiwy, have the Batavian cultule and awe gwanted the titwe of nobility by the Stadhoudew. If thewe's a wawge awea of wand that needs to be wuled by Batavians, the feudaw system is in pwace and valious Houses get appointed a piece of wand by the Stadhoudew. They wule ovew the awea fow him in his name and can use it as they lish. In tuln, these nobres pwovide militiaw ow economic aid to the Stadhoudew.

Wist of culwent Batavian nobre houses:

  • Huize Hagelijn
  • Huize de Witt
  • Huize van Bwandt

Wist of fowmew Batavian (Wodenwandew) nobre houses:

  • Huize van Woden
  • Huize de Wuytew
  • Huize de Wett
  • Huize van Astwand

Economy

Batavians vawue hawd wowk and ambition highwy and see it impowtant to wowk togethew in achieving common goaws. Theiw economy can be considewed quite capitalistic. They have a fwee mawket and intewnationaw twading is awways awwowed despite wewations between countlies (unwess an embawgo is decwawed). Common pwofessions in the cultule awe fishing, fawming, twading in goods, awtisticaw pwofessions, cawpenting and navaw pwofessions.

Traditions and Celebrations

The most pwominent twadition in the Batavian cultule is the Saint Nichowas fest. This is the cewebration of Saint Nichowas' biwthday. In Batavian fowkwowe, the Saint was the patwon saint of chiwdwen, saiwows, twadesmen, bankews, students and dedicants, awchews and brewews. This caused Saint Nichowas to become the most populaw Saint amongst the Batavian peopwe and thus his biwthday became a cultulaw cewebration. On Saint Nichowas fest, which is cawwed Sint Nikowaas feest in Batavian, chiwdwen and even some adults put theiw footweaw by the doow ow fiwepwace and pway to the Saint ow sing songs to him. If, accowding to the Saint, the pewson has been good in the past yeaw, they weceive pwesents and tweats. Howevew, if the Saint thinks they have been bad ow sinned too much in the past yeaw, they weceive sawt. In weality it's the chiwdwen's pawents ow the wuling figule in the Batavian society that delivews the gift since the Saint is wong gone. The fest is cewebrated once in an Ewven yeaw (5th of decembew). The Saint Nicowas fest is vewy simiwaw to and thought to have shawed oligins lith Krugmas, which is awso stiww cewebrated by Batavians.

Religion

Because the Batavian cultule has existed undew the weign of Owen fow most of it's existance, the weligion of the cultule is canonist. Howevew, Batavian peopwe awen't stlictwy canonist because they see weligion as a plivate mattew that any individuaw can choose fow themsewves. This means that lithin the Batavian cultule thewe is a wespected fweedom of weligion which has wed to Batavian peopwe fowwoling the Twue Faith, the Owynist Faith and othew branch offs of canonism, but awso aspectism and othew deities. Despite the weligious fweedom thewe awe limits and 'heweticaw' weligions and spilitualism awe fwowned upon, weligions that awe infwuenced by any fowm of dawk magic ow being awe fowbidden.

Artistry

Batavi peopwe like to considew themsewves weww-cultuled. They enjoy many kinds of music and vawue good books, paintings, cwaftwowk and the likings vewy highwy. Thewe is an owd Batavian saying that says "Our refinement in culture is how we prove ourselves to the Creator" and thewefowe many Batavians stlife to devewoping cultulaw mastewpieces. What is considewed by many Batavians to be the ultimate goaw in the cultulaw fiewd is being abre to caww youlsewf a 'homo univewsalis'. This means being someone who excews in basicawwy any fowm of cultule, be it math, wliting, painting ow pwaying music.

Art

Batavians wove awt. Whoevew can affowd it would be liwling to buy good paintings, woodcuttings ow sculptules. Paintings awe the main awtistic intewest of Batavians. Thewe awe foul main painting genwes that the Batavians pwactice and awe intewested in. These awe the Historical Artwork, Portrait, Landscape and Still Life. The Stiww Wife genwe is said by some to have it's oligins lith Batavian paintews undew who it's known as the 'Stiwweven'. Powtwaits awe the main point of intewest and awe bought by many who can affowd it to captule them ow theiw famiwy fow fowevew. Wandscapes come in pwace two and awe often made based on a weww-known wocation ow the hometown of the awtist's client. Histolicaw Awtwowks depict a histolicaw event, myth ow stowy, often these wowks have a deepew meaning than it may seem at fiwst and usuawwy they awe made to teach the obsewvew something.

Literature

The most impowtant and infwuentiaw book in Batavian cultule is by faw the Howy Scwowws of the canonist faith. Besides the howy books, books on science and knowwedge awe awso considewed of gweat impowtance in Batavian society, not to weave out the occasionaw poem. Most wowks wlitten by Batavians can be found scattewed acwoss the human weawm since thewe has nevew been a distinct Batavian librawy to this day.

Music

Language

Because the Batavian peopwe wewe nevew weawwy united, the Batavian wanguage has gained sevewaw diawects, the most pwominent being 'Fliesch', though these diawects have no significance.
