Javert 9628 Share Posted September 8, 2021 “Firme en Armas” Since the days of King Cesar the First and his successors, brave Hyspian men have taken up the call to arms whenever necessary to protect their homes and cultural identity. The de Pelears are no exception. Dating back to the days of Tierra Natal, the de Pelear family has sought to be steadfast in their three main principles. Faith, Honor, and Readiness. This family, founded by Arman de Pelear during the Hyspian-Bandit war, is a family of tradition. Faith A member of the de Pelear must always put their faith in DIOS first and foremost. Children born into the family are baptized at a young age, and are brought up by the morales of Canon Law. Heresy, Atheism, Apostasy, or any sign of non-faith in the one true DIOS is cause for disownment in the Family. Because of their strong faith in Canonism, the de Pelear sided with the Altamirano family during the Hyspian Schism, and still has yet to fully trust those who sided with the Red King, better known as Antonio de Rivera. Honor The de Pelear family must abide by a code of Honor. The tenets of this family honor code include but are not limited to: 1. Abiding by the Family Patriarch, 2. Aiding and defending the helpless, 3. Defending the honor of yourself and your Family, 4. Defending the honor of DIOS and members of the Clergy. It is thanks to the tenets that the de Pelear family is known for being duelists, and the preferred weapon of the de Pelear is the Hyspian Rapier as opposed to the Longsword or Great sword, which is seen as crude and slow. It should also be noted that a de Pelear does not often take an insult lightly, and are prone to be offended by any and all insults to their personal or family honor. Traditionally, a challenge to a duel is done by removing one’s glove and slapping the opponent across the face. Readiness A rather self-explanatory principle. Members of the family are expected to be ready for any and all threats posed to the family or their allies. A de Pelear, as a result, is expected to never shy away from conflict and doing so can be seen as cowardice, which also violates the Honor principle. During the Hyspian-Bandit War as well as the Hyspian Schism, de Pelear men were sent off to defend Hyspia. And, in the case of the Hyspian Schism, to defend the Canonist Hyspians. Hyspian Traditions As many families do, the de Pelear have their own share of traditions which they often share with other families of Hyspian heritage. This can range from coming of age ceremonies to celebrating the dead. Regardless, the de Pelear’s traditions come directly from their Hyspian heritage, as these traditions are not limited to their family. However, the de Pelear are known to take these traditions more seriously than most Hyspian families. The Quinceanera The Quinceanera is not an unfamiliar tradition to many. It serves as a coming of age for Hyspian women who, on their fifteenth birthday, celebrate the passage from girlhood to womanhood. Any and all friends of the family are invited, and the festivity is started with a religious ceremony where a present clergyman utters a quick prayer for the new adult, immediately followed by a dance with music performed by Mariachi hired by the family of the woman. Normally, the Father of the woman is allowed to dance with her first, then followed by any who wish to dance next. Food and drink is then served to the guests, and afterwards the Parents of the woman give a short speech before the dancing is resumed. Dia de los Muertos The Dia de los Muertos, translated to Common as the “Day of the Dead”, is a significant Hyspian tradition wherein an entire day is taken off to celebrate the lives of lost loved ones. Most often, an Ofrenda (Translate: Altar) is built with an image of the loved one, decorated most commonly by Marigold flowers, Papel Picado, and Alfeniques. The Ofrenda is usually set up at the grave of the lost loved one, or at the residence of the loved one’s family. Offerings such as toys for children, alcohol for adults, and food (most specifically Bread, or Pan in Hyspanic), is left at the Ofrenda. Usually, a parade is hosted by all Hyspians where participants dress in traditional clothing and parade down the streets of their city while singing, shouting, and overall merriment. Bull Fighting A rather self-explanatory tradition. A Matador stands in an enclosed arena wearing traditional garb and wielding a red cloak and a sword. A Bull is then brought into the arena, where the red cloak provokes the Bull into charging the Matador. This goes on for some time until the Bull has tired enough for the Matador to finish it off with its sword, and afterwards the Bull’s body is taken and cooked for a feast.
