	The draughir [[Lineage#~~Boons~~\|boon]] is the ability to gain sustenance from anything they can eat or drink, even if it would cause a normal human or orc to become sick. They can eat rotting meat, spoiled vegetables, and uncooked flesh, as well as drinking blood, stagnant water, or rancid milk without ill effect. They also don’t need as much food, drink, or sleep as anyone else – they can survive by eating cockroaches if they have to (as long as they get plenty of cockroaches).		The draughir [[Lineage#Playing a lineaged character\|boon]] is the ability to gain sustenance from anything they can eat or drink, even if it would cause a normal human or orc to become sick. They can eat rotting meat, spoiled vegetables, and uncooked flesh, as well as drinking blood, stagnant water, or rancid milk without ill effect. They also don’t need as much food, drink, or sleep as anyone else – they can survive by eating cockroaches if they have to (as long as they get plenty of cockroaches).

	If a draughir can feasibly eat something, and it is organic, they can do so without suffering ill effects unless the substance is poisonous in some way - and even then, draughir are likely to prove resistant to many naturally-occurring poisons. A draughir might eat a bowl of toadstools and suffer only a mild stomach upset where a plain human would suffer hours of agonising stomach cramps. Draughir are not more resistant to being poisoned than anyone else; this is a survival tool that also allows them to subsist on leftovers and offal while their friends and family get the stuff they need to stay healthy.

	This trait is one of the reasons that many people consider draughir to be cannibals. In actuality, draughir are no more likely to resort to cannibalism than anyone else - indeed they are ''less'' likely, as the range of foodstuffs they can eat and remain healthy is wide enough that they are more able to survive lean months by eating things other humans couldn't long gain sustenance from without the need to consume their dead relatives. Some scholars believe that it may be ''more'' dangerous for draughir to embrace casual cannibalism than other humans - they are after all touched by Winter magic already, and thus slightly more likely to attract the negative attentions of entities like [[Agramant]] who are drawn to those who eat their own kind.

	A draughir's skin is usually pallid, pale or discoloured as if from ill-health. You can use white or yellow make-up to lighten or jaundice the skin tone. You can paint every inch of your skin bone-white, but if you do this, then avoid leaving your neck visible and unpainted, as it undermines the appearance. The alternative is to apply make-up more traditionally to lighten the skin tones and give your skin a deathly pallor, if you do this then you can blend in the make-up rather than trying to cover all visible skin.

	The draughir lineage is intended to appeal to players who want a character who is callous and merciless towards their enemies. Draughir are often pragmatic to the point of being brutal and are an option for anyone looking to play an emotionally hardened or otherwise unsympathetic character. The draughir give options for playing an anti-hero or misunderstood outsider, as well as a character who is “wrestling with inner demons”. It also allows a player to roleplay themes of practicality, morality and personal responsibility.
