	An extension of the traditional wrestling is Croq-Wae, the necromancer's martial art. It is a focused grappling technique that makes use of fast, close-in strikes to specific pressure points designed to cripple the opponent. Croq-Wae is explicitly designed for use in cramped quarters and meant to require very little physical strength. Its intended goal is to allow an emaciated prisoner to fight back against a healthy guard.		An extension of the traditional wrestling is Croq-Wae, the necromancer's martial art.

	A traditional game of Kort requires a playing field with a hardened floor and a painted series of grids, flat walls on three sides, and a hoop for the goal mounted on one wall. The hoop can be as large as a few feet across or just barely bigger than the ball, depending on the skill and seriousness of the players. The game is played with two teams of two or three each, depending on the size of the playing field. In traditional Kort, only the hands and elbows can be used to engage with the ball, and the ball must bounce off at least one surface before making a goal or being engaged by another player. Players are allowed to catch and throw the ball, but must bounce it off either the wall or floor. The grid on the floor also denotes spaces where the players are allowed to set foot. Traditional Kort is the oldest and most ritualized form, and while competition between temples is often fierce, outsiders are still frequently welcomed to join in. While not a formal part of the religion, Kort is frequently used to resolve disputes or to make decisions.

	Floor Kort is more common as the requirements for a playing field are far lower. A raised circular goal and a flat surface are still necessary, but the walls and grid are not. Floor Kort works on the same principles of bouncing the ball and striking only with the hands and elbows. As high quality rubber became more common, notions of 'dribbling'(similar to basketball) entered the game.		Floor Kort is more common as the requirements for a playing field are far lower.

	Foot Kort is the most common; it is, for all intents and purposes, soccer. No one is entirely sure which game was invented first, and how much was appropriated. The Necromancer 'version' of the game has rule-sets worded very differently and still uses a grid (like in Traditional) but changes from hands and elbows to feet and knees, and uses a soccer-style goal. Strangely, much more ritual significance is ascribed to Foot Kort by outsiders than to Necromancers (who regard it as healthy fun). Many outsiders, wrongly assuming certain things about Necromancy, will often assume all forms of Kort are treated the same, and believe Foot Kort is an ancient, highly ritualized game, and a matter of life and death.

	=====Trilateral Marriage=====		=====Trilateral Marriage=====
	During the [[Golden Age of Necromancy]], necromancers tended to live in smaller groups or temples. The practice of trilateral marriage(a marriage with three equal partners) began out of simple necessity. Because necromancers tend to disparage inter-generational relationships, there would frequently not be an even number of men and women within a particular generation. That era also heavily discouraged marriage outside of the temple(and indeed this was not even an option on the [[Arcol Steppe]]). The solution was to create marriages of three equal partners.

That era also heavily discouraged marriage outside of the temple (and indeed this was not even an option on the [[Arcol Steppe]]). The solution was to create marriages of three equal partners.

	When possible it was preferred to pair two women with one man who was particularly strong with the magical aspects of necromancy. Marriages of two men to the same ~~women~~ were equally as common. The practice fell out of favor during the latter portions of the [[Mage Wars]], but was revived in the [[Ages#The Golden Age\|Golden Age]] with new religious significance. A typical trilateral marriage is a democracy requiring a two-third majority to make any decisions.

	Sacred marriage and sacred sex had always played a role in both ritual and practical aspects of necromancer life. Trilateral religious marriages were practiced by both the [[Grey Temple]] and [[Green Temple]] necromancers, but for different reasons. Among the [[Grey Temple]], it was done deliberately to breed stronger necromancers, and exclusively with one man and two women. In the [[Green Temple]], the practice was used primarily to fulfill ritualistic roles; the trifles were always members of the priest caste(no matter the combination) and represented various aspects of ~~dieties~~, carrying out specific ceremonies. Worker-caste trilateral marriages were also accepted in both theologies out of ~~neccessity~~.

	After the [[Necromanic Wars\|necromanic wars]] the practice died out, with the remaining population of Necromancers confined to a single temple in [[Arindell]], many of their practices and customs became defined entirely by the area in which they were confined.

	Little information survives about how necromancy changed during the [[Long Night]]. During the era of the [[New Day]], the practices of trilateral marriage were revived for the purposes of religious ritual. Though not forbidden, reformed necromancy abolished the caste system and removed the taboo of marrying outside the temple, so there has been no need for trilateral marriages among anyone besides the priests and priesteses.

	In a sacred trilateral marriage one member is a priest or priestess, while the other two form two aspects of a specific deity. These marriages are also practical, in that the ~~thruple~~ live together and engage in sexual activities. Some of these are ritual in nature.

	Necromancers have deep societal and religious taboos regarding age-mixing, especially as it takes place outside of Sunday mass rituals. While no formal doctrine exists, intimate relationships are restricted to individuals with no more than one to two years age difference. Social relationships are frowned upon unless in some sort of mentor/~~mentee~~ configuration(such as teachers and students). Children are heavily encouraged only to socialize with peers of their own age(or at most 1-2 years difference) except for immediate family members(in the case of conservative necromancers) or specific, designated individuals in the event not enough children of the same age are available.

	The reality is much more complex, though not altogether inaccurate. Necromancers as a whole do not stigmatize sex, regarding it as a physical question rather than a moral one. They do not have a concept of "virginity". Even the most conservative groups do not view sex or pregnancy outside of marriage as being a problem.

	Sexual rituals do happen as a part of the necromancer religion. And very often these are carried out by temple chantresses and priests. However, unlike what outsiders believe, in most cases the individuals in question are already in a sexual relationship.

	The reality is that fertility plays an important, almost central role in the necromancer religion. Officially they worship death(that part is not a ~~sterotype~~), but in order to die something has to live, and most things begin to live through sex. Originally fertility and birth played major roles in the necromancer religion. Among women especially fertility was considered very important. If a woman became pregnant regardless of her marital status it was viewed as a wonderful thing and proof of her ability to conceive. In [[Necromancer Literature\|Endu and classic literature]], fertility is often described as a very important sexual trait and indeed extremely arousing to males.

	As far actual prostitution carried out by necromancers goes, their culture does not stigmatize the sex act itself or the exchange of money.
