Hearts (♥) — Community & Culture

Hearts represent the human element: relationships, traditions, celebrations, conflicts, memory. This is the internal social life of the settlement—how people connect, clash, remember, and create meaning together.

Typical prompts involve:

• Interpersonal relationships (friendships, romances, rivalries, family)
• Cultural practices (festivals, ceremonies, wind-songs, storytelling)
• Memory and history (Earth traditions, elder stories, preserved customs)
• Community gatherings (celebrations, councils, shared meals)
• Internal tensions (factional disagreements, generational gaps, value conflicts)
• Education and transmission (teaching children, passing knowledge, mentorship)
• Identity questions (who are we? what do we preserve? how do we change?)

Example prompts:

• 2♥: A child asks an elder to teach them an Earth language
• 5♥: Two factions disagree over how to celebrate an upcoming festival
• 8♥: A beloved community member considers leaving for another settlement
• 10♥: A marriage ceremony between Earth Rememberer and Duskara-Born becomes flashpoint for wider tensions
