'''Culture''' is the shared background of various population groups. In GemStone IV terms, each [[race]] consists of a variety of cultures.
Unlike [[race]], cultures give no mechanical benefit to [[player character]]s. However, being of a certain culture within a race may mean different [[language]]s may be available to a character and also may help shape his/her back story, [[DEMEANOR (verb)|demeanor]] and general experience. The order of the list below is the same order as on the [[race]] page.

Each character may only select one culture at character creation, or if they prefer they may leave it unchosen. If no culture is chosen, then it may be selected at any time afterwards with '''[[TITLE]] SET CULTURE {culture}''' (Note: To see which cultures are available to you, type ''TITLE LIST CULTURE USE''. See [[TITLE]] for more information about the title system). Once selected, culture may only be changed afterwards with a '''culture reset''', available through [[SimuCoin]]s or as a rare prize in some (paid) Quests. Very rarely, there may be events (such as the release of a new culture option) where characters of a particular race receive a free culture reset.

Culture is the shared background of various population groups. In GemStone IV terms, each race consists of a variety of cultures.

Each character may only select one culture at character creation, or if they prefer they may leave it unchosen. If no culture is chosen, then it may be selected at any time afterwards with TITLE SET CULTURE {culture} (Note: To see which cultures are available to you, type TITLE LIST CULTURE USE. See TITLE for more information about the title system). Once selected, culture may only be changed afterwards with a culture reset, available through SimuCoins or as a rare prize in some (paid) Quests. Very rarely, there may be events (such as the release of a new culture option) where characters of a particular race receive a free culture reset.
