Art work focuses on statues and lightly colored paintings mostly using light colors their cities are bright to try and keep spirits up in their totalitarian state.
Culinary, Imperial food often uses a good deal of vegetables and fruits to make up for much smaller potions of meat due to the large population of Imperials. This is to help keep their people healthy… while ensuring everyone has the luxury of being able to purchase meat.

At last, they exited the city's gate and were in front of his house. Kal unlocked it and immediately, the smell of tea, incense, and magic assaulted them, a most agreeable sensation in the Septriss' Chosen's opinion. It always relaxed one, though the head became a little hazy.
