It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has
done what he has done.

Not stated baldly in the keywords section, but implied in the personality trait area - where you don't have to take all the personality traits, just the ones you like.

Theres a few the the Gloranthan community that don't drive. At the moment my bike is non-functional, and even if it were it would be a hell of a climb to get to town (uphill, both ways. There's this large hill inbetween...). Drivers on our road generally stop and chat when they meet :-). Since we don't get cell phone reception, and the Starbucks hasn't opened up in town yet, we don't have the double-threat "Talk on the phone while opening their coffee cup" drivers. And the nearest traffic light is 15 miles away. There's a few good things about being out here...
