	Drathians also know that any aspect of the body and even qualities like the mind or natural flow of mana can be improved to some extent.

Drathians also know that any aspect of the body and even qualities like the mind or natural flow of mana can be improved to some extent. They have became experts at making, refining and producing pills, liquids, and other methods to cultivating and changing the very nature of their form. Thus, they have individuals with the [Cultivator] class.<ref name=":0" />

	Using these cultivating methods, it is said that the perfect warriors of Drath have blood which circulates the body ten times faster than a normal person, as well as being lighter, swifter, stronger, have eyes like birds and flawless skin and the ability to consume poison like water.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/23/7-09-k/ Chapter 7.09 K]</ref>		Using these cultivating methods, it is said that the perfect warriors of Drath have blood which circulates the body ten times faster than a normal person, as well as being lighter, swifter, stronger, have eyes like birds and flawless skin and the ability to consume poison like water.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/23/7-09-k/ Chapter 7.09 K]</ref>

			== Military ==
			As the nation is comprised of islands and they patrol [[the Last Tide]] to fight any [[Seamwalkers\|Seamwalker]] that appear, they have a powerful navy. They have Border Fleets that act as peacekeepers and patrol the edge of the world, and they have Armadas they can send out as well. Their ships are armored with scale-mail inscribed with magical sigils, armed with what may be magic-based weapons resembling cannons (magical devices with glowing barrels), and some are large enough to carry hundreds of soldiers. One of those ships can duel one of [[Zeres]]' biggest warships.<ref name=":0" />

			Their soldiers use katanas and glaives, and also have staff-wielders and bare-handed experts in their ranks. Darth does not have Adventurers, but instead has a suicide corps comprised of [Abyssal Slayers], [Doomkillers], and [Edgeworld Hunters]. These hunters, trained to fight Seamwalkers, carry gigantic dragonblood crystal weapons.<ref name=":0" />

			As mentioned above, they craft hwachas. They also produce artifacts that summon monsters from paper.
