Realms Society Entertainment

CIVICS, ART & ENTERTAINMENT

Use this page to determine the main forms of entertainment in the realm. What do people do in their spare time, if they have any. But also use this section to establish how open-minded the society is and whether the people are happy with their position in that society. A society lacking in arts and entertainment may get disgruntled with their leaders, whilst those with plenty of leisure time might be happy. Maybe they are just distracted with gladiatorial games. You might also describe the dwellings of the average citizen of the realm here and where they hang out.

You might want to note the realm's Society Modifier here as well as in the At a Glance section. This modifier should have some influence on how social, welcoming, happy and open-minded the society is. It also indicates how easy it is to access entertainment, and how prevalent art is.
