I've used elements from the Patera project, and the historical depth is great but there's very little on day to day life there. I've had a stab at a monetary system, calendar, Immortals and a rough map so far but I'm still working on getting enough material together for a full campaign...

We made his character mysterious to cover the lack of knowledge either of us had for the culture of Rakasta. I would say day to day life would be like anyone elses except more hand-to-hand training and training with those special "Claws" they use. Would be something like an honor system, where sometimes to save his family reputation he would be willing to kill himself. Not really sure how that would go or fit, but that is how we ran the character. For material I used some Forgotten Realms stuff to play out the politics and day-to-day.
