Sorhaithe: Difference between revisions

Saelish people exist on a broader scale than Sorhaithe alone, with many Saelish families being spread across countries. In areas previously or still ruled by Faneria, this translates into a culture of bi- or trilingualism, with a strong sense of cohesion around the arts and uniquely Saelish cultural practices and holidays. Saelish people celebrate several 'national' holidays including the day on which the Saelish Crusade was declared, as well as customary seasonal holidays on the equinoxes (though not the solstices, as in other gaelic cultures). To the modern day, Saelish (and particularly Sorhaithe-born) people form an outsized portion of the notable painters and writers of northern Levantia in particular, with many of these moving to the larger hubs of civilization to further their careers; Saelish art is generally characterized as imparting wistfulness and sorrow, though in reality Saelish painting encompasses several genres including realist, romantic, and deconstructivist, while Saelish writing has no predominant genre. Saelish culture, especially in Sorhaithe, includes architectural and social influences from medieval [[Vithinja]], as well as a strong cultural connection to salted fish dishes and a small boat culture vagely reminescent of [[Burgundie|Burgundie's]]. Sorhaithe has the largest rate of rowboat ownership in Faneria, and the local competitive rowing scene is only outdone in popularity by [[World Association Football Federation|football]] rivalries.
