Relationship Ideals

Arasilian courtship tends to be more reserved and thoughtful compared to other cultures, like the flamboyant Bafigornians. When it comes to finding a lifetime partner, they prioritize meaningful connections and shared values. After reaching adulthood, some engage in a lifelong commitment known as "bonding", marked by mutual respect and understanding. While the intricacies of this practice remain private, it's known that exchanging small gifts can symbolize the strength of their bond. Regarding same-sex relationships, the Arasilian seem to hold a closed and rarely accepting stance. Moreover, they disapprove of individuals who choose not to have children, as family and lineage hold great importance within their duchies structure. Some duchies do practice arranged marriages, often based on compatibility and shared goals for the community's future. However, individual preferences and consent always play a vital role in such arrangements. One important aspect of Arasilian culture is their emphasis on preserving their arasilian heritage. This can lead to disapproval of interspecies relationships except for elven or celestial, as offspring often inherit physical characteristics from the non-arasilian parent.
