Bilhi

In Qeelsian culture, a bilhi is a collection of three items given as gifts during the Bahalyar. A bilhi usually consists of a polished clay ball with decorations called a bayukthir, a polished ball of quartz called a shimyahl, and a box made of braided reed called a santu.
The items are expected to be kept in pristine condition and gifted to the firstborn child of the recipient when they reach the age of bahalyar. Recipients who remain childless are expected to be buried with their bilhi. The bilhi tradition dates to around 500 BJ, and some of the oldest artifacts still being gifted date from around 300 AJ.
== The Royal Bilhi ==
Jiahen Qeelsia, being a Qeelsian national recieved a bilhi upon reaching the age of bahalyar. The artifact, now called the Royal Bilhi, is on display at the Azin an-Hava Museum. The bilhi are not currently gifted, and members of the royal family do not receive bilhi at their bahalyar, instead the firstborn child of the Avya is known as the custodian of the bilhi on display. The Royal Bilhi are considered some of the most important relics of Jiahen Qeelsia.
