* '''Single-dagger men''': "But oh, Captain Eddings! Hirianthial Sarel is a single-dagger man! [...] We don't touch when we dance, so women have fans in summer and wands in winter, and men have [...] daggers. [...] You're supposed to touch wands and daggers instead of hands. [...] Most men will use a plain dagger for this purpose, to make it clear they are not courting entanglements. If such a man uses his family weapons, it is a statement of interest. But there are men who only ever use their family weapons, because they seek commitment and will have no truck with dalliances or casual alliances. Your lord was one such. He only ever danced with his wife." <ref name="rp-03">''[[Rose Point (Fiction) |Rose Point]]'', Part Three</ref>

* '''Troth gift''' (less politely, stud gift): "During the wedding is traditional for the bride to bestow gifts because she is invariably the one with the wealth. But if a man is pleased with the match he will bring his own offering to the marriage bed." <ref name="lais-ep">''[[Laisrathera (Fiction) |Laisrathera]]'', Epilogue</ref> Hirianthial gives Reese a eucalyptus seed, resurrected from the bead that she made from the tree back home on Mars (which was cut down after she left). Jahir gives Sediryl a memory of a kiss (selected and approved by Lisinthir).

This seems like a weirdly random page to make, but there are a lot of random custom things that show up in the books that don't have a place to catch them. This can get divided up into better pages as appropriate.

  • Karaka'A give gifts to people for their naming days. Tam-illee don't (or at least Rispa has never heard of the custom), but might give gifts to others on their own naming days.[1]
  • Hinichi stuff pillows with their own fur as presents.[1]


Eldritch

See Eldritch, Eldren, Eldritch Holidays (that last also covering weddings)
