Navarr hearth magic

Blood is a powerful Hearth Magic in Navarr Steadings and Stridings. An alliance may be bound by signing in the blood of the participants, a blade fresh from the forge can be quenched in blood. Drops of blood may be added to the cup of a binding toast of friendship. A pattern of blood may be marked across a doorway, to keep the darkness from the threshold. There is power in these rites only as long as the blood’s source lives.

Stories and tales are also woven into many Navarri tasks, told, sung or performed to add power.

Liaven

The Egregore of the Navarri is Liaven. It always appears dressed as a Vate, reflecting the role of the Vate as the servants of the Nation. Liaven changes with the seasons; young in the Spring and decrepit in the Winter. In the winter Liaven is hunted down and ceremonially slain by the Thornborn, so in the spring it can be born again. Regardless of the season, Liaven is optimistic and amicable and relishes in tales of how the Navarri have added to the Great Dance.
