Hondu
Hondu culture tends to exemplify the sanctity of life and strive to uphold the order of the natural world. In this sense, nature is deified as much as any god and over- hunting, wastes of food, and relishing in excess are heavily discouraged. Where hondu cities are built, outsiders might find a surprising marriage of nature and civilization in food, architecture, and art.
