Social dynamics: Borvans for the lack of any other word are racist,snobs and degrading people. Any other race would be turned away, even in business matters they prefer to get them in and out because of the disdain. Accident are prone to happen to the more mythical races of the realm. With several such incidents including a purging that lead to a nation wide man hunt on the Elven race. Human's they're are welcomed as long as they don't provoke matters of state. More of a military state its mandatory to serve in the Imperial army, a minimum of five years for each male, two for females. There is no clashing of the sexes in Borvan but it is a matter of who is better for the job. Man or woman it matters little as long as the job gets done. Matters of religion are trivial because there is no nation but if its interfered with the cogs of the empire. It is rumored that the Emperor and his family follow or lead a death cult, facts on this are unproven though.

Art: Architecture is it primary vice in art considering the more drab atmosphere. Marble and stonework designs adorn large cities, mostly as fortification but do offer appeal. Hunting if you consider it art is its primary source. A Borvan Bear or Stag hunt are highly sought since they're larger stronger animals that are trophies of magnificent size.

Law: The Law is carried out threw the state appoint Judicators and their own appointed Judicai. Law is very harsh with the eye for an eye motto, so theft and matters of law are taken care of swiftly. With little to no theft in its boundaries.
