| - | These are those males that have been chosen by the [[lore:shoag_religion#dreigiau]] to serve as their voices upon this world. They have been given the [[lore:magic|power]] of the dreigiau that has chosen them in order to enact their will. The derwydd do not gather a bridio about them because the power of the dreigiau render then unable to successfully mate, but many of the older females find themselves in service to the derwydd. | + | These are those males that have been chosen by the [[lore:Shoaggar#dreigiau]] to serve as their voices upon this world.

| The derwydd are the only males that stand outside of the traditional order of society. They do not bow to the will of the arweinydd nor do the arweinydd bow to theirs, instead they serve to guide the society and teach both young and old. They are teachers, healers, lore keepers, and judges. Their word has the force of both law and tradition; however any arweinydd is free to challenge them in combat if they so desire. When this happens the derwydd may either accept the challenge themselves or select any other male to stand in their stead. A male that has been selected must accept or be driven from all shoag lands. | The derwydd are the only males that stand outside of the traditional order of society.

| The derwydd often find themselves called to leave Sithara and travel to other lands. Typically this brings them to other shoag lands where they may serve until called back to their homelands. A less frequent reason is so that the derwydd can study the other races of this world. The knowledge gained is invaluable as the derwydd, unlike other shoag often gather together to pass along any lore they know to others. The derwydd are not only the lore keepers of their own lands, but keep an oral history of all that they have known or heard. The sum of knowledge known to the derwydd would rival even the largest libraries in the world. | The derwydd often find themselves called to leave Sithara and travel to other lands.

| - | The only religion within Sithara is the religion of the [[organizations:shoag_religion|shoag]]. It is far too dangerous in Sithara for any missionaries from other religions to come an proselytize among the natives. The shoag themselves tend to be accepting in the lesser beliefs of other cultures although they themselves would never be converted. | + | //Main Article: [[lore:Shoaggar]]// |
| + | The only religion within Sithara is the practice of [[lore:Shoaggar]]. It is far too dangerous in Sithara for any missionaries from other religions to come and proselytize among the natives. The shoag themselves tend to be accepting of the lesser beliefs of other cultures although they would never tolerate converts within their lands. Any shoag that is discovered to have converted to another belief would be blinded and cast out from the society. | ||
| ==== Magic ==== | ==== Magic ==== | ||
| - | The derwydd((shaman)) are the only ones that can command the power of the [[creatures:celestial dragons#dreigiau]], any non-shoag displaying such power within Sithara would be considered an abomination and killed on sight. Any shoag female (see [[#ffieidd-dra]]) displaying such power would be driven from society and forever an outcast. Those touched by the dreigiau are held above all others and treated with deference and respect. | + | The derwydd((shaman)) are the only ones that can command the power of the [[lore:Shoaggar#dreigiau]], any non-shoag displaying such power within Sithara would be considered an abomination and killed on sight.

| Among most of the derwydd it is understood that the magic of other people are not drawn from the dreigiau, but instead from other forces in the world. They have occasional contact with many other people, through both trade and travel, and have come into contact with others that can control [[lore:magic]]. | Among most of the derwydd it is understood that the magic of other people are not drawn from the dreigiau, but instead from other forces in the world.
