to:
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Iridine is a stand-in for AncientRome. Other nations in Midlight are less clear, partially as they aren't available to play in, so it leaves players more wiggle room for backstory of their characters from those nations.
* InUniverseGameClock: Time passes in-game at about a 1:4 ratio, with an in-game hour passing roughly every 15 minutes.
* RepeatableQuest: New players are flagged for simple fetch quests which they can repeat as needed to get used to navigating the gameworld and for some starting cash. Expect to be outed as new when the 15th tired dockworker asks you to carry his crate of weapons for him.
* SwordAndSandal: You can purchase a gladius within sight of a Colosseum, then take a stroll past a few domi on the way to the Hospice, where there may be a wounded member of the Legion.
