Just a point:

When an hero tells a tale in a region, the region's patriotism increases to
the realm the hero belongs too. Well if an adventurer tells a tale, about of
how he killed/slaughtered or even how he handed a strawberry candy bar to
the monsters, help with the regionals stats. Only thing which could increase
on those lines is, humanism.
