## Culture

### **Television & Radio**

Fortunum has a central broadcasting studio called FAC which used to stand for **Fortunum Airwaves Channel**, back when radio was first created. Initially this was a local news station that ran news, information and updates, radio dramas, sporting updates, and comedy shows, before it grew into a television studio. There are more local broadcasting stations that are individual to each district but FAC is still the main channel as it broadcasts kingdom wide news, Animal alerts, and news from other kingdoms.

One of the known radio shows is *Fortunum Underground*, which is hosted by Tierra Tchaikovsky.

#### **The Queensguards**

One of the most popular shows on the FAC is *Queensguards*, a dramatisation of the adventures and trials of the queensgaurds themselves. The actors in the show were picked to look as close to the Classics queensguard as possible, reflecting their races, personalities, with a lot of liberties taken in actual events both true and fictional, making events much more sexier and more dramatic. The show was produced by Michel Baylis, it ran only for one season with twenty four episodes, before it was cancelled. Missy mentions that Chiaroscuro has marathon weeks dedicated to it, because it is so popular and a cultclassic.

Due to the dense forest of Fortunum's main forest, Harrod's Forest, travel into the kingdom was limited for many years. In more modern times however there is a rail service throughout the kingdom and through the forest to the coastline, as well as bus services and stopping points along a newly constructed highway.

#### **Climate**

Fortunum has a favourable climate, with wet mild winters that only sees minimal snow, and balmy summers with frequent rain showers between extended dryspells. The thunderstorms in Fortunum are known to be violent and because of this many tall buildings have to have lightning rods.
