Shared customary codes and values

The Hiskarri are a people bound by their duties and are indebted to their people. Choice isn't really much of an option here, because they do not believe you can change who you were born to be. So societal cornerstones such as marriage and occupation are given more than chosen. A strong, tall warrior cannot change that, so he will be married to a strong, tall female warrior to produce more of the same. The process repeats itself for technical minded people such as engineers or those with magical aptitude.

Attitudes that don't reflect the rest of the people are pushed down to the dredges of society, often becoming outcasts or shunned. Like people who marry for love or a mage who wants to be a warrior. These people are gifted with hard lives and the worst occupations; They tend to leave for better lives elsewhere.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

The Hiskarri paint eyes all over there bodies. It used to be for the God Jorogumo but now that they've lost the gift she bestowed upon them. They do it in an effort to win back her favor.
