The Jarc are a feudalistic and warlike people. They are aggressive with neighbors and dogmatic amongst themselves and thus are rarely at peace. All of society is geared towards martial success, with training beginning at a young age. Society is based on obligation to one's superiors, with the king or queen being obligated to lead the country successfully. The bulk of the population is devoted to working the land. Agriculture is not very sophisticated, however, due to the preoccupation with military prowess. Jarc society is feudalistic, with the peasants owing fealty to the landed nobility, who in turn are members of fighting orders. The leaders of the fighting orders are chosen by the priests of the order who interpret the signs of the hero that founded the order. The orders in turn are ruled by a monarch, who traditionally has a seven person council that is chosen by the monarch from the from amongst the nobility.
