Rules & Magic of Our Cultures
Overview
TSKM is a world filled with magic and mysticism. However, the differences are incredibly vast and difficult to categorize.
​
Essentially, each culture brings about its own set of magic, and such customs remain strong with each new dynasty and generation of merfish.
​
Shamanism is real, magic of pantheons are real, holy realms and hells are real, and even ghostly manifestations and exorcism. If a culture is rich with folktales and mythology of magic, then it will exist in TSKM in some form or another.
