On the topic of religion/spirituality, I was thinking of something, to explain the acceptance of LGBT people. I'm thinking like, the religion sees transpeople as 'gifted' in some way, and many of the heroes in the old legends were LGB people who were open about themselves and performed great acts of bravery, or something along those lines.
I actually really like this idea (and not just because I'm queer ). It has RL precedence in a number of cultures (see two-spirit, hijra), and adds another interesting dimension to Antediluvian culture. It could also trigger a number of plot points involving the LGBTQ characters, if Ayre so chose.
Well, I'm not sure on making it a religious aspect. It would be cool to have it be societal, as I talked about above. Mainly to keep the dynastic conflict going. And honestly, for our style of government, official tolerance will be a bit iffy. It would make for a more interesting divide between nobles and regulars.
