do you think Thedosians use lachrymosas? those little glass phials that Victorian(?) mourners would fill with tears, that determined the mourning period by how long it took for the tears to evaporate out of the closed bottle? (I'm not 100% on how they worked or were made bc I'm a little tipsy rn but THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT) I just feel like its a very Thedosian thing to do? Especially in Orlais where the national pastime is being Extra(TM)

A Victorian-era lachrymosa, also called lachrymatory, tear catchers, or tear vials. Sometimes worn on a necklace, sometimes merely held, they were used the gather the tears wept by mourners at funerals. One type of lachrymosa had a special top which allowed the tears to evaporate (signifying the time to stop mourning), others had a sealed top to allow the tears to last for a year, at which point they would be poured on the grave of the person whom the tears were wept for.
