Brucaire

(Italian) - Burn

One of the four ethnicities of Elemental, the Brucaire harnessed the element of fire to provide the ancient world with heat and light.

The Brucaire valued purity, skill, productivity, perfection, and the community above all else.

Culture and cultural heritage

The Brucaire valued productivity and creativity in their work above all else. Each Brucaire were masters of at least one craft but derived joy from all the works they communally produced.
Strong alloys, purified metals, novel machines, new tools, and extravagant statues and urns were equal regardless of the inate value of the item. So long as you made something, you were valued; if you made it flawlessly, you were invaluable.

Shared customary codes and values

• Collaboration: Combine your skills to produce a conjoined work greater than ones produced by one craft alone.
• Focus: Do everything to its perfected end
• Growth: Be creative and innovative, and forge out your flaws through trial and effort.

Average technological level

The Brucaire were blessed with the inate ability to manipulate and utilize fire. This skill made them the foundry and the forge for the original world and the other Elemental ethnicities.
Technology: Ore Refining, Brickmaking, Casting, Glassmaking, Metalworking, Metallury and Alloying, Toolmaking, Crystal Synthesis, Boiler Making, and Designing Steam-powered Machines
During Müthiş Savaş, the Brucaire became proficient making weapons and armour.

Art & Architecture

The Bruclaire utilized only the purest of materials to craft great statues, vessels, embossments, and reliefs. Most goods were made of metal, gems, and crystals supplemented with stone.
Art exemplified crystalline or geodesic shapes and the pure colours of unblemished metals or gemstone. Movement was expressed with smooth fluid forms and clean cut lines.
Unless an item was purely for beauty, form seamlessly blended with function. Buildings and rooms were the epitome of this mentality. Consideration for the storage and transportation of material were in engrained in all aspects of design. Raw materials come in, refined goods go out; smoke and steam above, molten waste below, and interim or finished items to the side. Spaces were left open and given plenty of heat and light so they could be filled with tables, benches, and tools.

Coming of Age Rites

As resolute craftspeople and artisans, the truest test of achieving adulthood was to transition from a pupil to a producer. Regardless of an individual's speciality, mastery of their first commodity was marked with great celebration and joy within a household. Their primo pezzo would be theirs' to display for life as a reminder of their beginning and a marker for their continued growth.

Funerary and Memorial customs

The Brucaire practiced cremation and interred their remains in ornate urns within Kaynağı Ateş.

Common Taboos

• Interruption: Perfection of dangerous crafts requires the utmost attention. Do not disrupt a craft in-progress. Similarly, the theft, alteration, or destruction of a completed work is evil.
• Independence: Perfecting oneself and making individual works is important but doing so at the exclusion of all others is unacceptable.
• Inferiority: Learn and grow from ones mistakes. Stagnation or acceptance that "good enough" is good enough is to reject one's people.
