===== Local Customs =====
More broadly practiced than any religion in Nantambu is the custom of leaving an empty seat. Every home has a spare chair or place at the table, every restaurant leaves one table empty even at the height of a dinner rush, and theaters always keep a box or seat open. Even the City Council has an empty chair in the corner of the meeting chambers. Only strangers are allowed to sit in these empty seats, and even then only if there’s no other option. Similarly, a stranger in need is never turned away but instead treated as a member of the family, if only for a meal—though rude guests are politely but firmly shown the door. Some claim this tradition began because Old-Mage Jatembe might return in disguise, while others believe it allows for an ancestor or deity to bring a blessing. Some simply think of it as a polite way to invite someone into their lives. Whatever their personal beliefs, most Nantambiyans are reluctant to take the last seat.

While local roads are wide enough for carts, streets are typically reserved for walking while goods are transported via the many canals. These canals also serve a secondary function. Local racing. Nearly every citizen and shop participates in the local races, with several festivals being highlighted with a larger race that can take the various participants over the entire city. These races serve two different functions. Professional teams focus primarily on winning (mostly for the bragging rights), while slower racers and shops focus on the free advertising. Sometimes purposefully building a slow boat to function more as a float to show off the various goods and services the shop serves, even throwing out free samples. This tradition is celebrated by the local population and has become an unofficial combination of a race and a parade.
