![[khuzait banner.png]] # Arkit Most Ancient Nomadic Clan - Oathsworn to [[Urkhun]] and the Khanate - the 'Children of the Sky' - Formerly the Richest Tribe - Cautious and Tight Pursed - Heir is Impulsive and Honorable, Heiress is Rogue Princess - Lieutenant is Ruthless Enactor of Clan Will - Finally Undul, Brother of Tulag, Killed by Siga of Clan [[Kuloving]], Sturgia Tier 5 > The [[Arkit]], 'the Children of the Sky', were formerly the richest and most prestigious of the tribes in the [[Khuzait-Khanate]] homelands, of which [[Urkhun]] and his followers were at first merely a humble offshoot. They followed the [[Khuzait-Khanate]] hordes to the west but are not happy about living in the shadow of a less ancient lineage. Their patriarch, the noyan [[Monchug]] ([[Tulag]]), models himself on Tulag ([[Monchug]]) but is somewhat less competent. # Dialogue [[Tulag]] on clan [[Arkit]], and [[Urkhun]] > "The [[Arkit]] are the eldest sons of the great she-wolf who gave birth to the Khuzaits. Properly speaking, [[Urkhun]] should have allowed us to lead the great war of conquest. But no matter, that time has passed. We respect the khanate and we respect the banner of the khan. We swore our oaths to [[Urkhun]] and we shall keep faith with our oaths, so long as his heirs keep faith as well." Temun [[Arkit]] on [[Siga]] [[Kuloving]], Varra, and Grand Prince, [[Raganvad]] > "That [[Sturgian]] witch killed my uncle (Undul [[Arkit]]). Her younger sister (Varra [[Kuloving]]) had been given to him in marriage by the [[Sturgian]] king ([[Raganvad]] [[Gundaroving]]), but she betrayed him and sent word to [[Siga]], and let her into his castle at night. He would never have been defeated by a woman, a [[Sturgian]], or anyone else in fair combat. At any rate he was slain. The [[Sturgian]] king, who at least has some honor, sent us the sister's head. But [[Siga]] remains alive - for now. Some day I will honor my father's memory by cutting her throat at his gravesite." ## Others on [[Olek]] [[Kuloving]] on Grand Prince, [[Raganvad]] [[Gundaroving]] and the [[Arkit]] > "Ah, yes. [[Raganvad]], the glorious king, gave my little sister Pira (Varra) to a [[Khuzait-Khanate]] to seal an alliance. Well, my other sister - [[Siga]] - she wasn't having any of that. She rescued NAME (Varra), and left the Khuzait's castle in flames ([[Arkit]]) behind her. Well, [[Raganvad]] couldn't have that - he had my sister taken by surprise, and sent her head to the Khuzaits. This is not something that our family can forget." # Game Files / Developer Diaries The [[Arkit]], 'the Children of the Sky', were formerly the richest and most prestigious of the tribes in the [[Khuzait-Khanate]] homelands, of which [[Urkhun]] and his followers were at first merely a humble offshoot. They followed the [[Khuzait-Khanate]] hordes to the west but are not happy about living in the shadow of a less ancient lineage. Their patriarch, the noyan [[Monchug]] ([[Tulag]]), models himself on Tulag ([[Monchug]]) but is somewhat less competent. Embittered elder tribe Patriarch: Honest, ungenerous, cruel like ascetic Heir: gallant The [[Khergit-clan]], or 'Roan Horses', were one of the first peoples to be subjugated by [[Urkhun]]. Although assimilated into his confederacy by force, they proved themselves some of his most valuable warriors, and were rewarded with extensive lands in his new conquests. War however took a heavy toll of the clan's males, and ten years ago the [[Arkit]] made a bid for their territories. [[Mesui]], sister of a slain noyan (Solun) and part of a long tradition of steppe warrior-women, led the [[Khergit-clan]]'s counter-attack. She continues to rule a clan nervous about its brush with extinction, and resentful of the [[Urkhunait]] for doing little to help them. |  | !-- Arkit --> <br>NPCCharacter id="lord_6_5" <br>name="{=XjMsnpgS}Tulag" <br>age="42" <br>voice="curt" <br>default_group="HorseArcher" <br>is_hero="true" <br>culture="Culture.khuzait" <br>occupation="Lord" <br>face_mesh_cache="true"> | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |  | !-- Undul, Arkhit brother killed by Siga --> <br>NPCCharacter id="dead_lord_6_4" <br>name="{=k3cm9EgA}Undul" <br>age="51" <br>voice="curt" <br>default_group="Infantry" <br>is_hero="true" <br>culture="Culture.khuzait" <br>occupation="Lord" <br>face_mesh_cache="true"><br><br>Undul was a Khuzait noble of the Arkit clan. | |  | !-- Temun, arkhit heir.
