There are several customs that are distinctly Lithmorran and rarely shared by the other duchies:
==Church Spires==
No building may be higher than the local church or cathedral except the king's palace - because of this custom, church steeples are usually visible all over towns and cities.

==Masculine Bias==
Despite the Decree of Sodality, while legally women are equals to men, the social times have yet to fully catch up. Women have less freedom to behave as they please and the concept of propriety binds them as strongly socially as the old laws did economically. For example,
women who wear their hair loose are usually considered to have loose morals, and frequently it's a signal that Lithmorran prostitutes use to ply
their trade. Equally, however, men are expected to act the gallant or may lose esteem in the eyes of his peers. Ultimately, men and women enjoy very distinct gender roles, despite the equality inherent in Lithmorran law.

==Taverns==
During bad weather, Lithmorrans almost always visit the local tavern for gossip and company. The worse the weather, the more likely
commoners and nobles alike will seek the company of others, both family and stranger. It is said to stem from the Law of Caring, but the true origins
of this tradition are more likely in the farming cycle. Good, warm weather is reserved for time in the fields and cold, poor weather offers a break
from self-imposed isolation. Regardless, whether a Troubadour is present or no, the onset of cold days and rainy weather calls for a good story or shared gossip at the local tavern.

==Witch Balls==
Lithmorrans often wear or hang hollow wax balls about their person or in their home to ward off witches. Particularly wealthy Lithmorrans may have glass balls instead of wax. It's believed that these hollow balls will trap evil inside instead of letting it affect the ball's surroundings.
