Jokes and Humor

vary throughout Terra.

Each country has it’s own jokes. There are, of course, varying levels of humor. Children play pranks and practical jokes on one another. Then there is the jovial attitude of coworkers and companions. Finally there is the dirty humor.

Not only are there jokes and pranks, but also comedies, satyres, and playful songs.

Each race has inapropriate jokes about the others, often focusing on their most noteable traits. Everyone knows about elves being “woodland sprites” and makes fun of it. Dwarves are “rock-humping” midgets. And so on. Such jokes are frowned upon in mixed company but often spoken out the side of one’s mouth as well. Bards make fun of wizards, druids, and rangers. Warriors make fun of everyone. Mages make fun of wizards and bards. Few mock priests and clerics, as they have no desire to anger the gods.

Some human nations are more the brunt of jokes than others. Cynsely is mocked for the same reason ancient Greece was. Bedaile is mocked for being a matriarc. Nestapor is mocked because of the amount of time the Navy spends at sea. And the list goes on. Again, it’s considered rude in most polite circles but often snickered at nonetheless.

Whatever major political events happen to be going on, are often the fodder for popular theatre troops to turn into satyres. These are immensely infamous among commoners.
