Superstitions;

The Souls of the deceased are trapped in their eyes from which they aquire knowledge. The respected and loved dead are cremated, while a particularly hated foe is embalmed or at very least his head is in order to prevent decay and keep the soul trapped as long as possible.

Those without one or both eyes are seen as having a connection to spirits and the next life.

Foxes are seen as psychpomps who help leads souls to their rest. Thus they are a comfort at a funeral but an evil omen when no one has recently died. Owls in a similar vein are seen as protectors but ones who angered Cédíl, thus while loyal and good, they are at times a dangerous ally.

The Moon is seen as a symbol of Cédíl's ever watching eye and judgement. Thus, Full moons are seen as a good time for contracts as both parties enter in with Cédíl as a witness. New Moons on the other hand are seen as more chaotic times where obligations may be forgotten. Often those nights, there are festivals and parties, where servants and slaves may talk amongst the freemen and promises that are made may be taken lightly and blamed on drink.
