=== '''Of Marriage,''' ===
Despite the Drachenheimers following the strict laws of the Amalgatarian Church, they have their own rites and customs of how a wedding shall take place, these traditions having been written and founded long ago and as such remains one of the most important events one can have in their life. Marriage is sacred to a Drachenheimer, as important as birth or death. As such, Drachenheimers have three main celebrations called the Life Trium Days, which are exactly that, the birth, marriage and death of someone. Drachenheimers are not able to marry till they reach the age of twenty, that goes for both genders but arranged betrothal is not uncommon between close families or aspiring nobles who find easy alliances in the union of their children. An entire week is therefore devoted to the wedding, no matter if it is an arranged one or done so out of love or commitment. This week is called a Huldur Feast, where friends, families and those within the settlement come to celebrate the occasion with feasting, games, socialising, gift-giving and worship. The more prominent the families, the grander and larger the Huldur Feast will be, with some being celebrated all across Drachenheim. On the last day of the feasting week, the marriage will occur at the closest Holy Site where the entire day is dedicated to the Church from dawn till dusk- with the new day after being reserved for the new husband and wife to commit alone. The consummation of the marriage is sealed upon this day and they are officially unified in the eyes of the Church and Drachenheim law. The woman in the marriage will always add the name of her husband onto her own and to the reverse this is often seen as an illegitimate wedding to particularly traditional Drachenheimers.
