The Baklunish do not practice incest, but their definition is very narrow; while sibling marriage is illegal, nephews and cousins are free to marry. A common noble practice is for a younger brother to marry the daughter of an elder brother. The Baklunish practice circumcision, polygamy, and bride-price. They have strong taboos against nudity, pornography, and promiscuity.		Polygamous, arranged marriages, patrilinear.

	~~Humans~~ are ~~plentiful~~. ~~They~~ are the ~~most common race, and dominate many countries~~. ~~Even~~ in ~~areas where they do not dominate~~, ~~they still form a large minority~~. ~~This makes them politically important; modern history~~ is ~~very much~~ the ~~history of humanity~~ and ~~their feuds. Other races can rejoice in that humans are by no means united~~, and ~~while they might be chauvinist and look down on non-humans, their wars are usually with one another~~.		Baklunish politics are dominated by strife between city folk and nomads. The cities are rich and tend to grow soft, the nomads are poor but militarily strong. Most city nobility proudly trace their lineage to nomad families that seized power in a city, but are today typical soft city-dwellers. Still, it is the cities that can exert power and influence, build nations and empires.
