Region: The Hole To Hide In
RP: Local Intelligentsia
Nobles, Teachers, Priests, and other local intellectuals are recruited to promote South Easthern's image and culture by watering it down with the local culture. Not only with the locals but with South Easthernians themselves, the Larsen-Owls are portrayed as barbarians who only answer with aggression but with some effort, the Intelligentsia managed to convince some that they can be civilized.
Loving Pets
The Fire Bearded Dragons are a nationally beloved animal, they are seen within the Palace to the slums far below and even the surface! The difference between the surface Dragon vs the underground one is the intelligence which is due to selective breeding and gene therapy to which the surface dwellers have no access to said technology. Either way, the pets serve as a bridge to cultural toleration of the surface.
