Drushae culture is bewildering to outside observers. They worship no deities, and regard such behavior as ridiculous, though they would rarely state such a belief outright. They have no standing armies or even militia in their settlements, although many Drushae are renowned warriors. They do not seek contact with outsiders as a community, although Drushae can be found in every region, and many individual Drushae live in human or other communities.
Drushae children are raised communally by all adults. Although their parents are normally most involved in caring for them, the seemingly chaotic nature of Drushae society often makes communal care necessary. When a young Drushae comes of age (usually around the age of twenty-five to thirty), an intense wanderlust possesses them, and they leave the community of their birth. For many years or even decades, they travel from place to place, never remaining for more than a few years, and usually only for a week or month. This wanderlust ceases only when they meet a Drushae of the opposite sex who seems to meet some indefinable criteria and the two settle down in the nearest community to raise one or sometimes two young Drushae. After a time, which usually lasts until after the young Drushae leaves, but not always, the parents leave, sometimes together, and sometimes separately, to wander again.
Finally, if a Drushae feels himself approaching old age (which can take as long as five centuries), he approaches the nearest Drushae settlement, and a long feast commences, often lasting for weeks. During this feast the old Drushae tells the story of his life and things he has discovered. Then he lies down and dies. This is not a sad time for the Drushae, however, but a celebration, for they believe that spirit will be reborn in a Drushae child somewhere.
