			Shells are the most commonly exchanged romantic tokens among the Jiinalese. Mainlanders often misunderstand these gifts, however. Gifting a shell of any kind is an invitation to a casual relationship. Shells are commonly found on the many beaches of the islands and as such are seen as appropriate to a casual or temporary liaison. Pearls are given if they want a more meaningful relationship.<br>

			They offer each other tokens made of shell, whale bone, or shark teeth to signify their affections.<br>

			==Water==
			Each town has a well that is considered sacred. This well is different than the one that they use for their drinking water. It’s always well decorated and watched over by a pair of priests to reflect [[Kal Valorn]]’s dual aspects. Residents regularly make offerings at this well but nothing may be put into the water so that it remains pure.
