Society
From The Middle Kingdom
 
Also, although she would never admit it to anyone, she knew that she loved him. Love was something for the peasants, for the thousands of base born families in the gutters of Rakasuul. In the aristocracy to love someone was to admit to be weak. No one married for love but purely for position. Mother had never loved father, as was obvious, and Tikus was resigned to the fact that this was just the way things worked in Rakasuulian high society.

Money
‘He says the city is experiencing something they term “inflation”. It used to be that a bowl of rice cost one script, but now it costs one thousand! Each day rice costs more script. The banks here then printed one thousand script notes, but all that does is feed the inflation.’
Cuisine
‘We need to get into the temple,’ said Aster as she shovelled Rakasuulian style fried rice into her mouth with her fingers.
‘You think he is there?’
‘I don’t know, but a peddler in the market told me today that they have a thousand slaves in there, for a forthcoming sacrifice. She said that many were Kaletonian prisoners. I hate the taste of the rice here.’
‘They fry it in animal fat’, said the ogre, ‘It sounds like a good place to look. What of the palace?’
