Bartering upon the Sands

Once seen by travellers of Kvari when they witnessed grand arenas being built and bets being placed. The second part of it was witnessing battles being performed on the sands of these arenas.

Negotiations were held on how to fight, what was being fought for and the outcomes were always manipulated.

Kvari took this demonstration of culture to another level. When a young one is born it's life is bartered for. Looking after weak babes is a risk to the tribe or pack. Kvari does not care of the age of those living in the path of a storm.

And so sand bartering became a tradition. The younglings were inspected and used for bartering with others. Originally it was a method of keeping the strong together and knowing who would be weak and need more attention during the storms.

But now it is a ruthless practice with a cold heart. Younglings are left, sacrificed and traded as a currency. 

Some call themselves merchants of the sands. Professional organisers of moots and sand meetings. Blood is always shed at these things and the coin swapped is the blood of the younglings.

There are those outside of it all that do their best to highlight the obvious evil of the acts. But they crowds do not listen.

A slippery slope they are on and one many Kvari are running down. No matter the morality of explanation the logic of the strong survive will always come out on top because the reward of blood is a wealth too rich to resist.

Those outside of Kvari look in and have to hold their stomach during these times. As well as some being very interested in the practice and have even chanced the storms to come and trade.

Evil acts attract evil folks.
