Dridder architecture has, of course, varied over the long history of the race. However, certain themes and styles seem to repeat themselves. As a comparison, dridders seemed to have built Supprozad up in a particularly Gothic and Neo-Gothic style, with towering, ornate spires. The dridders are said to have even built an underground capital in this manner. The dridders enjoy details and intricacies - spider webs are a favoured motif. Excavation of Supprozad shows it to have been an amazingly precisely planned city, with public parks and elegant, intricate walkways.
Dridders considered themselves a cultured race and music was one of many pursuits they found pleasing. Dridders seem to have focused on string instruments, with particular ones comparative to human cellos, violins and guitars. The strings of these instruments seem to have been made of specially treated silk, the making of which was a secret to the dridders.
Besides the strings of instruments, dridders were astonishingly skilled tailors and seamstresses. Their clothing became more and more ornate and detailed overtime as they developed more and more skills in this area.
Metalworking was also a skill that dridders developed, much faster and better than other races who relied more on magic. Dridders, as a whole, generally are not as proficient at magic (Aside from certain noble lineage) as other race and prefer fighting prowess and craftsmanship. At their peak, dridders created amazing clockwork marvels and inventions. Even today, their blacksmiths are among the best on Felarya.
