The political and religious may have a common theme of sacrifice and culturally they welcome visitors and give everything for sacrifice of these visitors one by one. Maybe their is an evil dictator who forces others to pray to an idol or else risk their lives in some way.

What does society run off of and how does it affect your character?

Is there variety or is it one thing?
