To all newcomers
« on: October 19, 2018, 12:12:38 am »
Tal Newcomer, and welcome to Tuchuk!

I am Ganzorig, Ubar of the Tuchuks.

So, you've decided to attempt to become Tuchuk. Well, congratulations. That is the first step on what will hopefully be a long journey. However, there are a few things you need to know before you begin this journey.

1. While you may not be Tuchuk, you will still be subject to every single one of our laws. From the highest, to the lowest, we are all accountable to the law.
2. You will not gain immediate prestige. Do not think that because you are somebody on the outside, that you are someone here. Our way of life is different from the rest of the world, and we will keep it thusly.
3. Tuchuk is not a democracy. While, I may employ your opinion on a subject, at the end of the day, I will make the call myself. Tuchuk is a Military Dictatorship.
4. Your rank is not necessarily dependent on how many scars you have. While it is true, you will most likely see the Commanders of a Thousand carry more scars than the Commanders of ten or one hundred, this is not due to their status, as it is experience.
5. We do not use common Gorean weapons here. Our weapons are as follows:

Missile Weapons
Long Range-Horn Bow
Middle Range- Bola
Short Range- Quiva

Melee Weapons
Long Range-Rope
Middle Range-Lance
Short Range- Quiva

Defensive
Lacquered leather Shield
Conical Helmet w/ Aventail

Now there are a couple things you need to know before you become one of us as well.

You will not be counted as Tuchuk until, if you are a man, you have earned your courage scar. If you are a woman, you will have your nose pierced.

In order to do so, a few things must happen. As a man you must prove yourself courageous. You must perform brave deeds. But there will be more to it than just this. You will also be expected to know our laws and customs before you are admitted to our ranks. For a woman, it is the same, minus performing deeds of excelling bravery.

You must choose, and perform the duties of a specific Clan.

You must abandon worship of the Priest Kings, and adapt to our culture, and the devotion to the Sky.

You must show a familiarity with our social and military structure.

You must show complete devotion to the tribe as a whole, thinking of the good of the many before your own.

You will be expected to follow our customs, insofar as religion, dietary restrictions, slaves, social structure, etc.

You must understand that if you become accepted amongst the Tuchuks, and then choose to leave the Tribe, you will be considered Outlaw. (This means that if you were to ever return you would be subject to summary impalement, or enslavement)

You must show that you not only understand our laws, but are also willing to be subject to them, not only in action, but in punishment as well.

WOMEN SPECIFIC

Do not come into Tuchuk thinking that because you are free that is how you will stay. If you are not of the tribe, then your fate is decided by the Ubar.

Do not think that because we are not of the cities, that gives you license to carry weapons and wear leather pants. You will be expected to dress and act according to your station.

Do not think because you think you know someone powerful outside of Tuchuk, or inside Tuchuk, that this will save you from any reprisal, or decision of the Ubar. It will not. I do not care if you are friends of the Sky itself, if I say something will happen, it will happen.
