Harrowfae Culture

The Harrowfae revere and celebrate Orire to the extent where they rarely choose the pen over the sword. At their coming of age ceremony they are gifted a Harrowfae Gladius, or Keskin made by their familial blacksmith or passed down from deceased ancestors. Keskin are adorned in their favorite colors, their familial gem on the pommel, and seasonal birthstone embedded in the hilt. The Keskin is honored as their birthright, and they will kill to keep it safely at their side.

A non-Harrowfae with a Keskin will be killed on sight unless the family gem that adores the hilt is Sildehgersh, or Worthy Outsider. Harrowfae are still skeptical, asking the Outsider their birthdate to verify the seasonal stone matches before honoring the Sildehgersh title.

Cultural Expectations

Once a Harrowfae reaches adulthood they are expected to become Onlenmis. A mandatory century of militia service which most Harrowfae continue to serve voluntarily for several centuries of their lives.

A common childhood dream is to make their Keskin the most powerful artifact possible to pass down as their legacy to the children of their family.
