Since Anle is a foreigner, are there things/customs/concepts they do not understand, and are there things that they do in Achian culture that we do not that perplexes them ?
Man I hope that makes sense
Until recent, Achia has practiced isolationism and so there are a number of traditions/customs amongst Navaarians that are new to them. Gift giving is one. Achians value items that have a functional purpose, so the concept of giving someone something solely for enjoyment is strange to them. They need the item to have a specific use or substantial benefit.
There’s also the exchanging of rings for engagements/marriage. Achians commemorate important events and accomplishments with tattoos. A newly married couple will mark their wrists with a symbol of their union, a hunter will celebrate a Scha’le kill with a tattooed ring around their arm, etc. They’re very deliberate. They appreciate reason and purpose in actions and disregard unnecessary fluff or padding. Though Anle is fairly open and has always been curious about the different aspects of Lystonian/Navaarian culture, they’re still easily perplexed by what they learn.
On the other hand, Achians are very private and take their community obligations quite seriously. The idea of putting individuality first, of oversharing or prying is seen as strange and mildly offensive to Anle. So when dealing with Lystonians and their individualistic nature and Navaarians with their openness, Anle really has to hold their tongue.
(This was a pretty fun ask so ty!)
