Description
Most developed Dahnaat societies are characterized by a complex system of household loyalty. Dahnaata are often loyal to their house first and their country second, which allows deeply rooted feuds between groups to transcend generations. This, however, does not mean that Dahnaat countries are fragmented and violent places. If a feud escalates between rival houses, it is generally settled in a tall building known as a singing spire. Here, competitive singing is frequently held between rival houses. Such competitions are battles of wit and cunning, where two opponents sing in harmony and attempt to have their own personal melody conquer the melody of their rival while still forming a coherent song. Well seasoned singers are known to weave witty insults into their tunes, in an attempt to catch their opponent off guard. The winner is typically the Dahnaat with the most catching tune, and is often celebrated as a hero of its house. Losers, however, are often relegated to a position of shame within their family.
