iris1612 1175 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Do’Culan A Cuintli Cuāuhlti hunting, 1570 The Do’Culan, literally “Warrior’s pack,” is an organization formed by the Tultelkos Ly’Jakarra for the purpose of centralization and organization of the Kharajyr military. It is highly encouraged for all Kha over the age of 15 to join, though not mandatory. Non-Kha are also invited to join, but they cannot take officer ranks. The military has 1 basic starting rank for recruits who have not proven themselves yet, called Unblooded. Once an Unblooded has successfully captured an opponent for sacrifice, he is brought before the Tultelkos for the Ritual of Rebirth, where he chooses 1 of 4 tokens and ascends to that rank. The tokens are as follows: Totli Cuāuhtli (Eagle Warrior), Coatli Cuāuhtli (Serpent Warrior), Cuintli Cuāuhlti (Hound Warrior), and Cipactli Cuāuhtli (Caiman Warrior). These ranks are only symbolic and chosen based on the personality of the soldier. Furthermore, all Cuāuhtli ranks are footmen, not officers, and have no commanding power, even over Unblooded. If a soldier catches the attention of the Tultelkos, he may be awarded the rank of Maytan, the lone officer rank under the Tultelkos. There can only be 3 Maytan, so the rank is not handed out lightly. Ranks A Mali’ame Toatli Cuāuhtli, 1568 UnboundEvery recruit in the Culan begins as an Unbound until they have proven themselves in battle and gone through the Ritual of Rebirth, at which point they ascend to one of 4 upper ranks, or Cuāuhtli. Toatli Cuāuhtli((Toe-ah-tli Coo-au-tli)) One who takes the totem of the Eagle is a wise fighter, always planning ahead for every situation that may arise. They may not be the strongest or the fastest, but they can make up for this with careful strategy and tactics. Often times officers and commanders are Eagle Warriors due to the predisposition for careful planning and thoughtful conduct. Outside of battle they are steadfast, loyal, and vigilant, though they can be cold and distant at times. Coatli Cuāuhtli((Co-ah-tli Coo-au-tli)) The viper warrior is a fast, vicious opponent. Masters of trickery and ambush, Serpent Warriors almost never face their opponents head on, and when they do so they use every advantage they can get. Poison, traps, and hidden blades are just a few of the many tools used by Serpents to overcome their foes. Outside of battle, Serpent Warriors tend to be silver-tongued and friendly, though some can be sadistic and manipulative. They often clash with Caiman Warriors, viewing them as dumb brutes. Cuintli Cuāuhlti((Kween-tli Coo-au-tli)) The predatory and savage Hound Warriors are quite possibly the most invaluable of all the Culan ranks, despite not being the best fighters. The true strength of the Hounds lies in their unparalleled ability to track down prey, like the hunting dogs of their namesake. Without the Hound Warriors, it would be all but impossible for hunters to track prey through the forests and lead the rest of the Culan to them. Hounds also have been known to breed and use hunting dogs to aid them. Outside of battle they are loyal and mild in personality, slow to anger, good peacemakers and diplomats. Some are unfortunately a little slow and gullible. Cipactli Cuāuhtli((Chi-pack-tli Coo-au-tli)) Caiman Warriors are the most fearsome to look at, and the most dangerous in plain, open combat. The largest and most physically intimidating totem by far, what Caiman Warriors lack in finesse and grace, they more than make up for with brute force. This is not to say that Caimans are not skillful- they almost always have extensive training and practical experience. Caiman Warriors value honor and bravery above all, which tends to put them at odds with Serpents. This predisposition can often work against them, as they have been known to forsake advantages they deem “unfair” and fail to defeat their opponents as a direct result. Maytan A Maytan with a Metzahuitl and a Chīmalli , 1572 The Maytans are commanders handpicked by the Tultelkos to lead the Culan if he is absent or unable, as well as to lead minor hunts or expeditions as necessary. Should the Tultelkos die, the Maytan decide who the next one is by voting for a Maytan that is not himself. A nonkha cannot become a Maytan. TultelkosLykos, the first ever Tultelkos of the Culan. Date unknown, sometime mid-Asulon The Tultelkos is one of 2 Aelkos, obeying orders only from the Tlatlanni himself. He is the supreme commander of the Culan and leader in large hunts, rituals, battles, and major expeditions. The only way for the Tultelkos to lose his position is if he is killed or steps down willingly. Weaponry Many members of the Culan prefer using sharpened claws to deal with any threats, but for times when something else is needed, the Culan has a wide array of weapons. They do not have access to many high-quality forges and thusly are unable to make standard weapons and armor such as plate mail and longswords. Instead, they use weapons that are chiefly made of wood and materials like flint and obsidian. The Metzahuitl, literally “Metztli’s Tooth,” is a two-handed weapon made of thick Dark Oak or Thornback, inlayed with spikes of obsidian or steel. It is not a graceful weapon, heavy and a little clumsy, but it is devastatingly powerful when used correctly. The Culan makes frequent use of bows in battle, but forgo the popular longbows for their own design, the Yāōmītli. The Yāōmītli is a shortbow, lacking range and draw weight, but significantly easier to use and aim. It favors ambushes and closer combat over long-distance and large scale battles. The Tepozto is the most primitive weapon in the arsenal of the Culan, a simple shaft of wood with sharpened blades of obsidian driven through it, but it is invaluable to them. It is used by the Culan to pin, surround, and trap enemies without exposing themselves to harm. The weapon is ineffective against heavy armor, and countered well by shields, but still useful for taking out lighter armored opponents and keeping the more heavily armored ones away. The Cuahulti is one of the most popular weapons in the Culan arsenal. It is a blowgun, hollow shaft of wood, ranging anywhere from 2 to 7 feet in length, often decorated with twine and carved intricately. The darts are also made of sharpened wood, and have cotton or thistle flowers on one end. The darts are soaked in frost oil when it can be had, and are absolutely deadly when used correctly. Without frost oil or against armored opponents, they are useless. The Chīmalli shields are a truly unique weapon, made of hardened maize cane twisted and inlayed with cotton, and supported with horizontal and vertical strips of wood on the back. The shields are often decorated with colorful tiles on the front, conveying the owner’s heraldry. The shields are sturdy and light, able to take significant beating. However, the best use for them is to deflect blows off of the side rather than take them head-on. Too many direct blows and the maize will snap. The Tecpatl, is a ceremonial dagger used mostly by the priesthood to sacrifice others to Metztli, though some Cuāuhtli, especially the Cipactli, use it as a sidearm. It is made of obsidian or flint and often carved extensively. The hilt is usually carved to look like a Kha, and the blade is sometimes painted red to symbolize the blood of the lives it has taken. In the mythology it was the knife that Metztli used to seperate the souls of the Humans from the souls of the Kha, and shape them together. The Culan also have a number of other, less interesting weapons, such as makeshit knives of sharpened flint, primitive maces of stone, slings, plain wooden clubs, axes, tomahawks, and other such weapons. Rituals The Culan often partake in extensive ceremonial rituals for many purposes, usually to appease the Goddess. These rituals are barbaric and bloody, always involving the sacrifice of a living being. The actual text of the ritual may change from time to time. Joining Anyone can join the Culan, regardless of race or even gender, as long as they can fight and prove their devotion. Technically, everyone who joins should worship Metztli, but due to the need for manpower, standards are a little lower.
