It *is* a modular attachment, but each homeland has a "default" Specialized keyword that, unless otherwise specified, is assumed to be used by the character.

You can have a Heortling Animist (of any practice/tradition). You can have a Heortling Lunar. You can have a Heortling Sorcerer (of any school/church). But unless otherwise specified, a Heortling will be Orlanthi.

> But attached to the Praxian religion key word are the Bison, High Llama, Impala, Sable,
Rhino, and Morocanth homland keywords. So it's one-to-many that way, at least.

No, chris, you've got that bass-ackwards. The Praxian magical keyword is "attached" to the cultural (species, in one case) keyword. But yes, it can be a many-to-one relationship.

Sometimes it's a many-to-many relationship: Orlanthi can be Heortling, or Alakoring, or Ralian, and any of those can be Lunar, or Sorcerer, or Animist...
