The non-mated Haviers of the Fallowed are bound by religion to remain chaste and virgin as a symbol of their faith. The religion condemns the promiscuous and unfaithful to a life of exile. As a personal sign of sacred vows, the Haviers paint their temples with the blood that bleeds from their antlers when they begin to shed.

It is a sin to cut or uncover their hair to Hinds and Stags. They wear the deep red of the Allseer, who will not harm them as long as the Haviers remain loyal.
