Barbarian totem warriors revere fey nature spirits who manifest as animals. The Path of the Berserker is whispered to be a curse from the Elder Dragon God Kugbazel on the unruly children of the younger gods, twisted into a blessing by the barbarians. If they did not go mad from time to time, it is said, all humanoids would be slightly more prone to anger and violence, which might be enough to push civilization over the edge.

The bardic tradition is strongest in the far northeast. However, the Old Imperial culture has its own distinctive version of it. The Bardic College of Valor stems from the Old Empire, and is heavily dominated by orcs and half-orcs. The College of Lore is a more ancient organization, claiming descent from before the last flip, and has very stringent requirements in order for a member to be declared a "master".

We need to assign spheres to the various gods.

Druids worship nature as an abstract force. A lot of Moon Druids are elves, especially wood elves trying to promote natural forest growth; a lot of Land Druids are halflings, trying to make the land more fruitful.

The Paladin Oath of the Ancients is usually administered by the druid circles, whereas the Oath of Righteousness is usually made to one or several gods. The Oath of Vengeance is generally understood to be a twisted blessing from Metepes the Trickster on those who swear revenge with sufficient passion.

Rangers are essential as guides from one side to the other when the flip happens, and because of this they are ''supposed'' to be held in high regard and their knowledge is supposed to be passed down from generation to generation. However it's been so long since the last flip that some people think the flip is just a myth, and fewer and fewer people are wanting to train as rangers. They find it hard to find employment as anything other than itinerant guides and caravan guards and they are seen less as potential saviours and more as a bunch of travellers who get moved on by the militias of cities who don't want them making the place look untidy.
+
Little is known of rangers at present.
 
 
Now that signs and omens of a possible impending flip are starting to appear, the rangers' stock is suddenly rising and they're finding themselves in demand, at least in some areas. This is complicated by people's unwillingness to admit they were wrong and apologize, so many factions are basically trying to shanghai rangers into serving or teaching others their secrets, rather than just asking nicely.

The Arcane Trickster rogue archetype is very new, having developed in the years leading up to the rebellion as dissidents tried to learn arcane magic to defend against the wizards.

There is no single common pattern of thieves' guilds; some cities have single thieves' guilds, some have limited gang warfare, and some don't have high-level organised crime.

The warlock patrons are a mixed bunch; some of them are much better-known to lay folk than others. Powerful fiend patrons such as Asupuxai are minor figures in mainstream mythology. The archfey are the stuff of fairytale and urban legend. The Great Old Ones are the stuff of mere rumour, their own esoteric mythos known in detail only to arcane magic-users.

Most of the mage guilds teach a limited amount of every school; however, each guild specialises in only one or two schools. The guild which has just been expelled from Gartihann prioritised evocation and abjuration.
