Fashions:
They tend to favor bright colors, and most of their clothes have geometric shapes as detailing. Those who are high ranking scholars have golden threads embroidered around the neck to show their status as a high scholar.

Traditions:
It is tradition among the people to work for 2 weeks, then rest for 2 weeks. They have alternating shifts of who is on duty to allow time for self reflection and study without trade and work flow being interrupted. Those who come to learn at the universities are invited to join this tradition, but not required to.

It is also expected that every citizen should attend university for at least one year, and are encouraged to study things they find passion for. The university also has arrangements with nearly all the crafts-masters and heads of trades, which they use to arrange apprenticeships with the students who are draw to these types of work. The Council of Knowledge elects committees to oversee the youths desired paths in life and are responsible for helping them end up where they will be happy and most compatible.

Religions:
The doctrine of The Light and the Shade are the most common here, although there are many subsectss that focus on different aspects of the religion. Worship focus of a specific Realmwalker over The Weaver is commonplace. As religion is seen as a personal business, the places used for worship double as community peace gardens. They are explicitly places to go and think, contemplate, or to just exist in peace.

Social Taboos and Ideals:
The Da'Anaj are as a species demi romantic and demi sexual, so fidelity and intimacy are sacred to them. They have no qualms with any kind of love, so long as it is consensual. They have many qualms with the Aeifori for just this reason, as they see polygamy, casual sex and casual relations to be very distasteful, and tantamount to cheating.

Geography and Climate
Ignis Aeterna is a tropical climate that stays consistently warm year round. The realm has a high oxygen level due to mutated plants on the surface that output large quantities.

The realm is covered in plant life, including dense tropical forests and huge grass fields. Many of these plants have been magically altered to be flame resistant.

This realm has a unique day/night cycle, and has 2 weeks of daylight then two weeks of nighttime instead of the 24 hour cycle.

Economy
Being a capitol of knowledge and the pursuit thereof, the main trade of this country is knowledge and training for goods they cannot make in their country. They have many trade contracts with other countries in exchange for training nearly all the worlds craft masters and specialized training for complex jobs. They do grow some crops used for fireproofing in many places, and that is their second most lucrative trade.
