Dari Culture

Dari culture is split into two. Old and Reformed. Tradition follows it around. Dari Culture centers around the old nomadic traditions that are six thousand years old. Before the invention of the Bartel Drive, the Dari culture was facing extinction. The freedom of FTL travel revitalized the culture, but also caused a split both among the Dari people, and in culture.

Old Dari culture

Old Dari culture retains many of the ancient ways. They have never left their nomadic lifestyle. Dar'Abbah and Dar'Qacha, they tended to travel from world to world seasonally, while outsiders kept a permanent residence.

Reverence of old conquerors is common. A notion of fierce independence.

Reformed Dari

The New Dari culture was born with Dar'Cazar. Or more specifically, when Dar'Cazar became Arcazar. A civil revolt sparked a new way of thinking that influenced the galaxy immeasurably. It gave birth to the Agnazari for example. The Successor dynasties claim homage to their Dari ancestry, and in many cases, that's just what it is. But many of them adhere to the traditions of the Arcazar.

Reformed Dari culture is defined with the nomadic spirit, and extreme adaptability. More specifically, cultural adaptability and acclimating to other cultures. Famous examples are the names of many of the Agnazari (and succesor) emperors, who have names which are inherently not traditional Dari names. For example, Emperor Taius has a Coptic name, even without being Coptic.

It is even common for Dari people to have two names. A name for their own, and a name for foreigners. Many belive this tradition came to be as Dari Traders hit difficulties are their names were hard to pronounce to people of other languages. In some cases, their "own" name were a family matter and only known to family. For example, Emperor Ducas's Dari name was Ukublai.
