Nak'hair'aya

These nomadic gypsies have been distinguished by Bid'hair Kings or Queens for bravery, selflessness, or acts of defense. Nak'hair'aya are the most revered and prestigious of the Bid'hair peoples. Even land-holding Fudorians recognize the rank and title of a Nak'hair'aya. 
It is said that to become a Nak'hair'aya, one must go into the wilderness alone for 4 cycles of the larger moon (4 months - 128 days) and during this time survive only off what falls into their path. If they come across a stream or it rains they may drink, if an animal comes across them they may catch and consume it, if fungus or plant grows up around them they may eat it. In this state of faith in the patterns of the world and semi-fasting, the Bid'hair becomes more and more in tune with the elements, nature, and his or her own nature (note that this was the first order of Fudorian knights that accepted women members). During this time alone (and it varies widely on the individual), either on their second day or 120th day, they will be pulled into one of the other Realms. In this other Realm they must collect some souvineir (generally a piece of that Realm's Realm Craft) and bring it back with them to their King/Queen. 
To have succeeded in this task is grounds for respect alone, and the Bid'hair monarch grants them the title of Nak'hair'aya after a night of revelry welcoming the traveller back to the family. These revelries last all night into the following morning in which the new Nak'hair'aya retells their adventure, displays their new artefact, drinks, dances, sings, carouses, and eventually takes any number of nubile young gypsies to bed with them.
