Carousing

From The Inquisition Legacy
Jump to: navigation, search

Parties, friendly gambling, alcohol, and theatre are all tolerated by the Holy Order, and in some cases have even been subverted to serve the church's interests within reason, such as via feasts of saints and theatrical morality plays. So long as these affairs do not overtake, interfere with, or replace work in communally beneficial fields, or lead to crime, the church's official stance is that Davites are entitled to celebrate and relax. Some priests try to maintain good relations with their region's Troubadours specifically for the help they can provide in finding ways to use such things as teaching opportunities and means of promoting Davism. However, a measure of austerity is still asked for. Any excesses that lead to subsequent lax behavior are frowned on. Indulgence is acceptable - gratuity is not. Professional gambling is frowned upon, as it seeks to make a livelihood out of an un-enriching leisure activity, and the Holy Order staunchly opposes casinos and gambling rings as a result.
