Birth and Children in Brevoy

Birth is sacred to Pharasma, so children and pregnant women are also regarded as sacred by Brevic society. The church of Pharasma trains midwives, wet-nurses, and nannies, provides education on sex, conception, contraception, combating disease (sexual or otherwise), and child-raising, cares for single mothers, and runs orphanages.

Names are often hereditary in families, with common custom to name a child after a grandparent (thus honoring the elder), as well as a the name including a patronymic (essentially a middle name after the father's name).
