Ritual Magic

Druvach: Arvek Nar cavalry and unit forces are renowned for their military prowess and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds. Over time, the world of Ea recognized this spirit, termed "druvach" and lent magic to it. In units composed of their kind, DMs might grant them auto-immunity to fear effects, and the benefit of group Endurance feats. They might also up their initiative, to represent their ability to respond quickly as a force.

Vampiric Blood Magic: The arvek recall the use of a vampire's blood, even if many of them have forsworn it. Through ritual, an arvek may use a vampire's blood to strengthen compulsions or oaths. Or, the reverse--to weaken the same. The former use calls upon black magic. The second was developed from desperation, and many of them sought to free clan and kin. There are other rumored uses of vampiric blood rituals among the arvek, though in typical arvek fashion, they've been tight-lipped about the details.

Sacred Objects: Arvek history is seared with its association with vampires, and some arvek remember this well. The gorget, particularly when crafted of metals such as mithral, or silver-and-steel, is a poingent reminder of this history, as these were originally crafted to ward against a vampire's fangs. The ornateness of a gorget is often tied to an arvek's rank. Originally, their use was limited to officers and well-placed political figures.
