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 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. 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. To join, fill out this application:
