Prydaen pairings are often brief and informal, lasting a few seasons or less, until the two go their separate ways. A "life-bonding" is a deeper commitment between two Prydaens, usually involving a longer courtship and blessing of the union by the Elders.

Eu's Promise Flower

Rumored to be created by the Claw of Eu, the flower holds similar properties to that of a Saemaus kiss rose, enabling Prydaen to form deep bonds under the blessing of the Triquetra, without entwining their souls.

  • The flower may not be used by non-Prydaen.
  • The flower may not be used by Necromancers.
  • Once bound, if the Prydaen ever wish to separate, they must turn to Be'ort. The Triquetra and the Claw of Eu provide no means of achieving it.

Clothing

The use of sheer garments seemed to originate from one particular group and is considered distasteful by the majority of other Prydaen.

Bride

  • Pr'ysin - This sash is a narrow strip of fabric, often gathered in pleats, wrapped around the hips, and draped over the opposite shoulder, akin to a train behind the wearer.
  • Pr'chmir - This is a loosely worn dress that is slit along the sides to assist in freedom of movement and often belted.
  • Pr'sarrak - This is a loose, hooded robe that is slit along the sides to assist in freedom of movement and often belted.

Groom

  • Pr'mra'sin - This long tunic is slit at the sides for easy movement, worn loose, and usually belted.
  • Pr'sarrak - This is a loose, hooded robe that is slit along the sides to assist in freedom of movement and often belted.


Eastern Traditions

Bonding Token

  • Pr'raaho - Not necessarily a requirement, but these rings are often exchanged by Eastern Prydaen and typically display some sort of nature design as an honorific to Eu. The practice of ring exchanging was largely influenced by Eastern traditions.

Ceremony

To be announced.

Western Traditions

To be expanded upon.

Bonding Token

  • Typically a tailband or a torque decorated with the accoutrements from recent kills, such as claws, fur, and teeth. Often, this served as a reminder of the promise to protect and provide for each other.

Ceremony

To be announced.
