== Traditions and Superstitions == * Few people fish in the River Gorkhon for fear of sharp objects like hooks. * It is frowned upon to carry sharp objects such and knives and needles at all. Despite this, many still do. * Digging well and holes (or otherwise piercing the Earth) is forbidden. * Cutting bodies is taboo to everyone outside of a select few people called ''[[The Kin#Menkhu|Menkhu]]''.<ref>"Murder is a sin worse than digging wells in our town. Not because the soul is considered sacred, but because the body is. What is not whole, is not holy. A torn body is a foul mockery of the universe." - <i>Pathologic 2</i></ref> * Before the outbreak, townspeople engaged in a blind bartering game in which they exchanged unlabeled packages.<ref>"Barter has a long history in our community. It has many styles, such as "tit for tat." Sometimes, people even blindly swap wrapped items." <i>- Pathologic 2</i></ref><ref>"Long before the socioeconomic catastrophe, the local townsfolk developed a tradition of barter that the whole community reveled in. Including many types, such as "tit for tat" and "retrab", it is sometimes secret, with people swapping wrapped items blindly." - <i>Pathologic: The Marble Nest</i></ref> * Locals refuse to drink water drawn from the River Gorkhon and instead prefer to drink stored water imported from rivers farther from the Gorkhon.<ref>"Water is brought to the town daily from a spring in the steppe and distributed among the households by water-bearers. The Gorkhon water was proven to be clean, but the locals refuse to drink it." - <i>Pathologic 2</i></ref>
