Blood drinking.

Many Drâihari warriors are no strangers to the consumption of blood; this traditionally being the silver lifeblood of the Valari. Thought to heal wounds and strengthen resolve during the dark days, this is still a practice and ritual tradition for those that have Valari pets or who capture them for their blood.

The celestial blood of Valari, densest of all creatures, feeds and invigorates the cold aether of the Drâihari-- waking them from weakness even in injury.

Blood is important to them- a representation of what they value. They also use their own blood in Bloodweaving.

This perpetuates the stereotype some other races, such as Humans, have that all Drâihari are Vampyres.

Ritual worship.

In a bid to show devotion to gods or to their Divine, many Drâihari take great pleasure in ritual bondage and shows of obedience that are often extreme and lead to bloodletting. Shows of strength to certain gods can include the marking of lovers and pets with whipmarks, bindings, or hot iron brands.

Family dynamics.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is normal for a Drâihari family to be strained between the sire and dam and their children. Many Drâihari born in the first age and dark days were given to warbands in Niskerra when they were named-- to be risen and trained as soldiers in a try to fight the coming void forces. Most did not survive to meet each other in adulthood but those who did can be intense and even seductive in their lusts.

Modern Drâihari are often not dissimilar. To form close bonds without great absence is rare- and the individuals are as often incredibly intense when they do bond with their kin.

This may seem extreme or unusual to most mortals; Drâihari being more somatic and lustful than spiritual.

Heirs and gifted offspring are traditionally chosen by merits in combat. Those who have proven themselves this way are often looked upon with achievement by either parent.
