Hey, Hunter!

What was life like right after Artificer left?

Answer is under cut, there’s a tiny bit of blood and stuff (Hunter’s killing a Scav in one of the drawings and it isn’t pretty lol)

Hunter: Once Arti left, everything got harder. Fighting especially, without her. I mean, you know my sister, she’s a great fighter. I am too, but with the amount I had to do on missions, it was just… impossible on my own. I was struggling. 

I died a lot. Got a few new scars.

And no matter how hard I worked, I couldn’t keep up with how efficiently our missions used to be completed. I wasn’t good enough, not without Arti.

what is a superstition in my muse’s culture?

is there a widely held religion in my muse’s culture? 

what are the views on hospitality in my muse’s culture? 

what is the view of money / wealth in my muse’s culture?

are there any beliefs held in my muse’s culture they don’t agree with? 

culture metas :)

ok we are going to try to not make this a million pages long but uhhh no promises.

what is a superstition in my muse’s culture?

uHHHH is it superstition if it actually is a real thing? let's talk about the omens that lead to someone being named padishah- as in "whats that 100 years kingship thing" all about!

so, the overarching idea that most cultures (not counting the gerudo) grasp is that every 100 years "a male is born into the gerudo and he is crowned king", well that's actually bullshit because gerudo genders are punch muscle and melon crushing thighs. their views of gender aren't about a binary at all- notably, the terms vai and voe aren't actually used when gerudo talk with each other about other gerudo- they use the term "vayam" which has the same energy as how "farsi" derives from pars, which is persia in middle persian, and in the same vein, other people call the gerudo "the gerudo people" (if theyr'e being polite, which for some reason they have trouble with??? yikes), but the gerudo term for that is, you guessed, it, vayam.

anyway, so every 100 years it's said that the old gods breathe life to a new padishah, and the person born under these most auspicious conditions is to be "sun and lion" and "victorious boar". notably, each padishah has been born at night on a solstice (any solstice works) and the skies of the day are always clear, yet charged as if lightning could strike at any moment. in the morning, a flock of oddly colored sand sparrows will fly through the valley, in the afternoon, the winds blow and "sing" but move not a single grain of sand. as the sun sets that day, a group of lynel are always seen crossing the dunes.

oh, and there's also the fact that after all of these omens happen all together, the elders visit the newborn child and will light candles and if the flame burns a brilliant blue then bam this is the padishah.

"and this only ever happens every 100 years? and this is ALWAYS how it is every goddamn time?" yeah it sure is, which is why considering how WEIRD all of those things are ... none of that can just be by chance.

notably, the lynel are said to be warriors loyal to the old gods, and for people who actually pay attention and don't just assume shit, they are associated with an old god called din-vārtra. din-vārtra in other texts is called vārtra the fire-blessed, vārtra kingmaker, vārtra of the heavenly depths, and later, this god is known as demise. notably, din is one of the three golden goddesses and she is represented by fire- which is what her name means (although it can also mean power in certain contexts)

that in itself leads into the Next part of this

is there a widely held religion in my muse’s culture? ( also asked by @gerudospiriit )

ok so as above, i mentioned din-vārtra, the old god who later gets labeled demise (do not Ask how that happened, there were so many mistakes made), and of the gods worshipped by the gerudo, it's din-vārtra and the goddess of the sands (tiamat), and the padishah is said to also be the vessel of din-vārtra, so that's that.

since the padishah [mighty king] (and then in the future, bānbishnān bānbishn [queen of queens, the title used by urbosa and riju, this title is also used to refer to the twinrova and is the secondary title that gan uses for himself]) already serves as leader of the people, most temples are dedicated to the lady of the sands, leaving offerings for her is something that the people believe helps bring the rains.

"but why isn't there anything like temples for din-vārtra?" well it's because din-vārtra is never said to have asked for the worship of the people of the valley, instead it has been passed down that "din-vārtra came with heaven's fire and brought warmth in the chilled desert nights and was welcomed as vayam, and among vayam he has remained"

there are plenty of festivals dedicated to the gods, and of course the golden goddesses are also quite popular, but the lady of the sands and din-vārtra are unique to the gerudo.

what are the views on hospitality in my muse’s culture? 

well, generational trauma made the gerudo say "yikes" about outsiders, but before all of that went down, they were a warm and welcoming people. there's no real rule about not allowing men in, mostly because the gerudo don't see gender like that! it's not about what's in your pants! there are plenty of gerudo born with primary male sex characteristics, that doesn't mean a goddamn thing to them???

they became more and more closed off as they faced greater struggles due to the border war with hyrule, where many other peoples had sided with the hylians, the gerudo valued their freedom and autonomy, and with the padishah out of the picture (they didn't really know what happened) tensions only rose. no one who knew padishah dragmire would ever think he had any fondness for rauru, but it was rather clear that the two kings had fought and when ganondorf didn't return, they assumed rauru had killed him ... and they waited for the omens ... that never came.

but life had to go on, they did what they had to do to protect themselves, even when the great kingdom was burned to the ground (which is why the valley looks so much like the ruins of persepolis, basically the same thing happened), but yeah they closed off because they are protecting what they have left!!! and who could blame them???

what is the view of money / wealth in my muse’s culture?

"wealth is of the soul, of the strength of mind and body." is a nice way to start this.

under padishah dragmire, trade was the way to go, there weren't things like rupees or whatnot, people would trade things. similarly this is how things worked with other kingdoms. common exports of the gerudo were silks and precious gems and spices. the term "wealth" referred to a philosophical thing rather than physical. not to say that by standard definition that ganondorf wasn't exceptionally wealthy, the monetary value of the gems and precious metals he wore on his body alone is ... a LOT, but that's just not how things were seen there?

with the introduction of the rupee, monetary value became "standardized" like the euro in a sense, but that was a fair amount of time after ganondorf was sealed away (so he has so much culture shock??? when he wakes up lmao)

are there any beliefs held in my muse’s culture they don’t agree with? 

uhhh well, considering that ganondorf is the entire ass leader of the gerudo, the culture he was raised with is the one he follows. granted, he would want his people to be more inviting again- cautiously so, but to be closed off is something he feels is unwise; it stifles the growth of a kingdom and its people, but also he Gets it, everything has sucked for the gerudo for a LONG TIME. but, the people are also in the good care of bānbishnān bānbishn urbosa (or riju, depending on the time) and even though times have changed, the strength of the people has endured and so he??? doesn't ??? feel a huge need to argue with it???
