The Kuznyetski are a Nepleslian cultural group. Their numbers are few, as a majority of their children fully integrate with regular Nepleslian culture in every generation. Due to their eternally small population as well as other cultural concerns, they tend to occupy large urban areas so that their close-knit groups have access to supplies they cannot produce from within. | The Kuznyetski are a Nepleslian cultural group.

+ | A Kuznyetski funeral is usually held at night, though there are no written rules about it. The ceremony is more of an oral tradition that is imitated over and over again. When a Kuznyetski dies, his body is laid out in the largest public space with their personal firearm placed over the chest. Once there, every member of the community approaches to place a small sample of their wares around the corpse. In other cases, a simple farewell or a kiss on the cheek will suffice; though even the most greedy Kuznek is usually willing to give a bullet to a resting fellow. Finally, the corpse is burnt and the ashes scattered and disposed of. The Kuznyetski keep no record of the dead except to satisfy government business. | ||
