Culture
Common Dress code
The Zantharii tend to adopt dragonic imagery as an ascetic when they create their weapons and armor. As for common dress, the Zantharii adopt clothing that favors functionally over fashion, for example it is not uncommon for a blacksmith to wear clothing that covers more of his/her body up to protect themselves from stray embers coming from the forge, their clothing will also tend to be on the thicker side for the same reason
Art & Architecture
It is rare to Zantharii art outside Verdeckt. Outsiders believe that when it is found it is normally in the forms of small figurines. It is believed that these are fakes most of the time but they normally depict a warrior clad in draconic armor normally wielding a sword or spear similarly designed. The pose of the warrior is probably designed to ward off bad luck or to offer some kind of spiritual protection but even that is unsure.
In truth the pieces of art that are found outside of Verdeckt have been either dropped unknowingly by Zantharii traveler or deliberately left to confuse outsiders for them to stay off the land of the Zantharii. Although recently the Zantharii have been trying to forge relations with neighboring cities, but their relations are tentative at best.
Zantharii architecture is truly a sight to behold whether it is as temples, housing, or statuary the scale is normally massive. The Grand Temple of Zan-Nathar is enormous taking up an entire wall of the canyon that surrounds the entirety of the city of Verdeckt. Just like their personal art, they incorporate dragonic imagery in their architecture as well in the case of the Grand Temple the facade is emblazoned with massive bas-relief of a massive battle involving life size depictions of dragons in battle with each other.
