Enisaloi Heritage Customs (concept)
The Enisaloi maintain detailed records of their ancestors, tracing the exact ships they served on and positions they held all the way back to the War of All Islands. It is considered very important to not only respect the deeds of one's ancestors, but to show social deference to others based on the deeds and status of theirs, creating an intricate and oft-incomprehensible web of relations.
This overriding societal pressure reflects itself in marriages, with intricate ceremonies designed to honor the procession of positions and honors held by each partner's ancestors being a neccesity to secure societal acceptance of a union. Any potential pairing must have a similar combined status, lest the marriage be considered unequal, with one wielding a greater influence due to the honor within their lineage. It is an old joke in Aversaria, perhaps as old as the Archexate itself, that a king might find himself unworthy of marrying a beggar.
