Hi! I'm a fifteen year old swedish guy, and I'm very
interested in Verduria. I'm creating a language of my
own, and 'Virtual Verduria' has given me much
inspiration. Now to the questions :
<p>Is there any large competitions in dance, music,
writing or anything like that?
<p>What are the attitudes towards male homosexuals?
<p>How does the school work in Verduria?
<p>What kinds of desserts are there?
<p>Sincerely,
<br>Marcus Lindqvist

Welcome to the board, Marcus! For some reason there seems to be some
special affinity between Swedes and Verdurians. I've gotten a disproportionate
response from Sweden...
<p>1. (Competitions) Probably not so many in Verduria; but <a href="http://www.zompist.com/almea.htm#Xurno">Xurno</a> would have them.
<p>2. (Gays) It depends on the culture. Xurno would be the most accepting-- there
it's considered rather normal, especially in the context of mentoring.
It's also not considered wrong in Jippirasti, though it's mostly seen as
an alternative when women are not present. Verdurians tend to look down
on gays, but they don't persecute them. (Note that I disagree with the
Verdurians here! The spectrum of attitudes on Almea is intended to
reflect the varied attitudes found on Earth in the pre-modern era.)
<p>3. (Schools) See <a href="http://www.zompist.com/kingdom.htm#schooling">the section on Verdurian schools</a>.
<p>4. (Desserts) I haven't worked on this in detail, but for this sort of
question you can often get basic information in <a href="http://www.zompist.com/thematic.htm#24">the Thematic Dictionary</a>.
