Where are you from?
Players who choose to include one of Mirhanan’s many Cultures in their character’s history will receive additional information that only those of their homeland (or a very dedicated researcher) would know. We have included four examples here. Before you choose, please be sure to read the Supplemental Rulebook for another 10+ Cultures open to new characters. Some cultures are known to have a unique system of beliefs; this does not mean it is the only faith within that culture nor that everyone from that culture will be religious.
Your chosen region must match the region your culture is part of. Characters who were born within a Carcer colony may still be part of any culture or faith outside of the colony, as colonies are home to people born all over the world and brought together by chance, fate, and Carcer.

Other Cultures
For additional Cultures, including those designed by our benefactors, please see our Supplemental Rulebook. The world of Mirhanan is not limited to these cultures: some may only be discovered in-game, and some are yet to be written. We are serious about collaborative storytelling and world building. If you have a level of detail in mind equal to the Culture introductions provided here, our team will work with you to bring your ideas to life and add them to this world. Likewise, if you are interested in adding a local system of belief, we are interested in writing it with you – contact us at contactus@sustainablecollapse.com.
