The available of sea snails long made Housatoner fashion unique among the [[Nysdra Sea]] cultures. These snails enabled Housatoner designers to produce and sell purple-tinged clothes, adapting the basic form and function of other Cusinaut articles of clothing with their distinctive purple hue. Accordingly, Housatonic became known in fashion circles as the "house of purple" in the 20th century, and though purple dye became available elsewhere, the city retained a certain prestige due to its "organic" purple dress. For a time, fashion was one of the major urban industries within Housatonic, but the events surrounding the [[Algosh coup]] and [[War of the Northern Confederation]] disrupted trade and the urban economy significantly, and most individuals who had the means to do so fled the city. Housatoner fashion as a unique cultural tradition was practically non-existent in the decade of the 2010s, as the city first languished under the [[Algoquona|oppressive Algosh regime]] then underwent a period of dramatic economic reconstruction under the Charter era. Only after the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] did new, well-capitalized fashion houses reappear in Housatonic. The Housatoner purple is once again regarded as prestigious, but Housatoner fashion has somewhat taken a back seat to the emergent [[New_Harren#Fashion|Port St. Charles fashion scene]]. | The available of sea snails long made Housatoner fashion unique among the [[Nysdra Sea]] cultures.

Like elsewhere in [[Cusinaut]], {{wp|lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in Housatonic. The [[Northern Crona Lacrosse Association]] has high degrees of viewership within the Housatonic Republic, and the city of Housatonic is consistently considered by the media one of the most likely homes for a future {{wp|Expansion team|expansion team}} for the Association. | |||
