Season 5 Blazeborn History and Culture

This page is dedicated to the History and Culture of Blazeborn in the world of Season 5

## Blazeborn Origins

Evolving from blazes, they hold a strong connection to one another, with blazeborns being highly respectful of a blazes' natural territory and occasionally attempting to communicate with blazes.

## Cultural Values

Much like wedding bands on humans, gold bands on horns are used to signify that Blazeborns are married. Bands are the final stage in Blazeborn romance, with golden engravings symbolizing that a Blazeborn is engaged, and golden chains symbolizing that the Blazeborn is in a relationship.

Engravings are typically done with lava, occasionally glowstone is used as a less painful substitute. Engravings are meant to hurt since it signifies the strength and trust required to stay committed to one person.

## Blazeborn Society

Though Blazeborn respect blazes, this DOESN’T mean Blazeborns are respectful of one another. In fact, Blazeborn society is extremely aggressive and power-based, with each Blazeborn attempting to pass the other in terms of wealth and success.

Due to the harshness of the environment, most Blazeborns live in small groups in revamped nether fortresses or lava dens, avoiding a majority of the more dangerous creatures in the Nether.

Strength and skill in fighting are valued. Each group of Blazeborns is taught that they’re above other groups of Blazeborns- a sort of mob mentality evolved to ensure they have a higher survival chance than other groups would, keeping resource competition high. Blood bonds are less important, with biological families being less important than relationships/families made along a Blazeborns life. Most Blazeborns don’t even grow up in the same group as their parents, typically getting sent off to either A) Join a different Blazeborn group or B) Begin their own group.

## Blazeborn Biology

Most blazeborns don’t realize that creatures can actually go into water, so when they venture into the Overworld and see other people swimming, they panic and attempt to ‘rescue’ them.

When Blazeborns get wet, they take a couple hours to regain their flame to the fullest extent, and occasionally (if in water for a prolonged amount of time, although not enough to kill the Blazeborn) the Blazeborns affected limb will begin to harden, becoming obsidian-like

Blazeborns can typically control how hot their bodies are/become, usually making themselves hotter in dangerous situations/battles in order to have an upper hand on the opponent.

## Blazeborns and Other Origins

Blazeborns typically keep to themselves when it comes to other origins, seeing them as competition to the already limited resources in the Nether. They are distrusting of the overworld, seeing it as their version of hell (Occasionally, when a group manages to find/create a portal, they’ll use it for punishments, sending out blazeborns into the Overworld to die.)

Piglins, Hoglins, Zombie Piglins, and Piglin Brutes, are all well respected, yet hated, creatures to most Blazeborns. They both attempt to avoid each other, but conflicts are inevitable due to the limited landscapes. Blazeborns are terrified of Ghasts, leading to widespread fear of anything that can fly, including other origins. Striders are just the Nether equivalent of a dog, and Wither Skeletons are seen as a nuisance (and an obstacle in clearing out a nether fortress for group usage)

Blazeborns, once befriended, are extremely loyal (for the most part), and are quick to defend their friends.
