Why the Silver Hair?

All Dréama who are chosen for the Saia path eventually have their hair bleach out to a silver color. In Fieras, this was never an issue, but in Duskhan lands we stand out. So we embrace it. Now there are many rumors to why the hair turns white. Some say because it shows premature wisdom. Some say because our arts are secret witchcraft of the Minari from before the fall. Or of some kind of pact. But many find it strange and alluring. We don't tell others the truth. Usually we say it is the symbol of completed training. It is not.
 
In reality it is a side effect and a symbol of our devotion. We Saia drink an elixir over our training years that heightens our influence by changing our voice to reach unheard of vocal ranges - with a side effect of making us barren for a time. The renown of the Dréama makes the powerful believe that to make a pairing with a Saia to be socially advantageous, which the Sisterhood uses to gain allies, influence, and slowly…power. No Saia can ever marry (normally – there are exceptions) and only can be concubines, lent to the powerful by the Motherhood in exchange for favors (an individual Sister may refuse and they maybe choosy about this and the ‘Lending’ may simply be for entertainment only, companionship, and not necessarily sexual in nature.) 

They may have children only by permission, when they take a curative that suspends the effects for a time.

Privately the Sisterhood is somewhat more selfish. They avoid direct power and instead leverage their influence through charisma, position, and subtle manipulation as encouraged by the Kindly Mothers. 

The end goal is to unravel Thal’s Enigma, a theory that says that magical power is rooted in its Voice, with their goal to someday reach a perfect harmony, literally, with the world allowing them to ascend to a pure existence. The hair color symbolizes that purity.
