COTLOP Societal woes
I am trying to put into words a universe where you have 4 or so levels of civilization cultures. The 2 immortal cultures removal around ideals of the ?light? and the ?dark?, the ?light? is a social order of strong work ethic you are your job, you live for your job ect,ect its setting is like a set of worlds that run like an office with politics and backstabbing dealing with rumors and innuendo more than any other acts as most ?bad? acts are against the law and the law deals fast and hard with anyone who steps outside it. The main character is a bit of a dizt a human who can not conform to their ways.
It?s taken me awhile to put that much into words, I was going with a simpler/dumber theme he is exiled because he is ?lord of power? a being who is able to control reality around him with the caveat that the minds subconscious decays the being into insanity and nothingness. At least the culture of the forces of light are explained in part, I wonder if a bureaucratically militaristic office system would work as an oversimplification?.mmmmmmmm take Asian themed haven/afterlife bureaucratic system and merge it with a corporate office system and finish it up with a heavy helping militarism.
The ?dark? culture is run on a tribal army system I am still trying to make heads or tails of basically its a form of survival of the fittest theme strung along a multi tribal waring sects that get along because they hate the light more. I guess its generic and chilched still trying to put a good spin on it ><.
?Lesser? civilizations run on variations of more normal generic human stuff you see used alot in fiction, speaking of humans is it sad to call humanoid races humankin, then again if creation is a enitity and humanity is one of its quaint notions it dose not sound sooooooo bad, hell even DR who does not try and explain humans/human like races away. uhg details?.to focused on them ><
