[KS] Alkemy - Rados Cults

Anoki, Toad Medicine Shaman of Aurlok Nation

I made a strange discovery today… I went to the Atowa career where I usually gather alchemist components and this time I found an unusual pile of stones. Their energy was identical to the fire stones the naashtis are using but… Extinguished? Smaller, rounder, it seems like they have been polished. I don't think I could used them. However, this is not in the habit of the naashtis alchemists to store their stones on the surface. Who may have gather and store all those components here ?

Razikh Ibn Khalid, Cheikh from Mapo Istapo region

Really surprising... During my last tour along the Asfar desert, they show me a shield I can't recognize and neither relate it to any nation. The material in unsual, especially its weight for such a large piece. Truly, this shield is confusing... I'm gonna bring it to the next gathering of the cheikhs, to require their wisdom.

Song-Peï Taoli, Captain of the Tiger Guard of Dong Yi

Despite the triadic militia watchtowers, it seems that an ennemy manage to break through the wall, without making any noise. The only clue we have is this weapon i don’t recognise. This is not an avalonian blade and even less a triadic one. We never saw any Aurlok or khaliman using this kind of weapon, moreover this does look like their usual art. Whose blade might it be ? Are there a new blacksmith in the region? Is it the result of a new alchemical experience ? The only question that matters is : friend or foe?

Vel’sor, Swordman-Naa of The Eth citadel

As I was patrolling once more our tunnels, a strange metal piece attracted my attention.
What's that strange object ? Who left it here in the corridors of our citadel ? There is fire inside of it but... it seems broken on the top. There was an intrusion in our territory, who could take so much risks to explore our undergrounds ?

Manoa, Guardian of Chora on the Sea Prince

We find one of our ship washed ashore on a beach. They were signs of confrontation, but we didn’t found no body. Utopian gears were still here : weaons, armors, clothes but we also found strange objects that are not from our home, Utopia ! It looks like protections, probably for shoulders, legs, arms and hips… Theye have definitely been crafted by humans hands but it seems to come from an animal. Hard-wearing but flexible, i don’t think we could set it on fire.

After several weeks of careful observation I think I figured out some element. What I first thought was simple dismorphic differences between individuals seems to be a way to distinguish males and females. Men are shorter, stout and thick while women are slenderer but as much brawly as them… Even if I only eared orders coming from the women, troops seems to be male and female wearing both hoods and carrying maces and huge shields… Only one thing is clear, this nation is preparing for a conflict. Do they fear us or should we fear them ?

Concept by Benoît Boeuf, colorized by Sébastien Lamirand

Those foreigners never ceases to amaze me. While they laid down their weapons to build a palisade to entrench themselves, a conflict broke out. Things got heated and despite the attempts of the others to find a pacific solution, no compromise has been found. The builders took back their weapons and shields as the others stood around them in a circle. *They *fought until one of the warriors lie down on the ground, with no hope of rising ever again. The calm of the others watching this fight to death and how they just went back to work as soon as the body was moved away shivers down my spine...

The plan was perfect. We had identify the less combative of them, but that still were an objectif due to all the minor tasks they did and the sacred fire they were carrying. When they walk away from their camp to gather some materials, we dropped down on them. How surprised we were when we saw their flames twirling at the end of their chaines and hitting our brothers... Some of us were set ablaze and we fled with a smell of fried pig and a deep sense of shame...

Concept by Benoît Boeuf, colorization by Sébastien Lamirand

I can not say if I was amazed or terrorized by them. Their dances echoed ours, and yet they had nothing of the kind ... no request for rain or any other favor from nature. Only death seemed to be called as these warriors swirled and spread the blood of my brothers who mingled with their own blood. As emboldened by this thick red liquid, they seemed to feed on our fatigue and pain. Even now, as my life flows through the many gashes they have affixed to my body, I can not help but look for what can connect them to us.

Concept by Benoît Boeuf, Colorization by Sébastien Lamirand

So far, I never had a chance to take a closer look at a religious sister. I cannot acces the temples and I understod long for a moment now that it is where they spent most of their time... I almost gave up the idea of learning more about their religion when I saw this priestess walking into the street and meet the inhabitants of the city. Sometimes kindly guiding young people, sometimes curtly lectured the villagers, she seemed confortable with all segments of the society. At the end of the day however, I had to go back to the Golden cage they assigned me.

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER - 30th SEPTEMBER

STORIES OF RADOS CULTS
Rados is a matriarchal society with slavery trends and shaped around four pillars, coming from their bloody origin, each one associated to one of the four major Cults of their religion: survival, fight, blood and fire. Each individual is following a main pillar, but does not neglect the others, and around each pillar an important sect has developped. Cycles have passed and the feared predicted invasion late to come, until it become a myth, the Radosi feel more and more hemmed in their Oasis. Rumors spread by those who dared crossing the borders describe a universe which totally contradicts with what is commonly accepted by the Radosi people and with the propaganda of the government and the Matriarch. These rumors slowly open the eyes of the Radosi on the world: other people have survived the Alchemical War...

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER - 30th SEPTEMBER

STORIES OF RADOS CULTS
In the beginning, the Radosi were Aurlokan's children. When the Alchemical War broke out in 754, the Aurloks were caught off guard and could not resist the relentless advance of the Jade Triad's army. Even though they were focus on their survival, some tribes diverge on what they should do. If most of them are trying to resist, some voices quietly rise in favor of a foolish project: find back Aurlokan, the father of all tribes. Despite the apparent absurdity of this idea, considering the time elapsed since the departure of the Architect, Walko'Ota, sachem of the Singing-Feet, tries to spread this idea to other sachems. In 778, he managed to convince the sachems of two tribes : Guyat'Suta from the Long-Braids tribe, and Te'Noki from the Water-falling-from-the-Earth, that the salvation of the Aurloks was in the flight towards the East to find refuge with their architect...

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER - 30th SEPTEMBER

STORIES OF RADOS CULTS
In 779, the three tribes set off on their journey, taking all their possessions, even the venerable elders and pregnant women. Their advance is slow and exhausting, the caravan getting lost several times in the desert lands. Supplies reduce quickly as the vegetation turns out to be disparate and unhealthy, while water becomes rarer and rarer. After three cycles of wandering and little accustomed to the extreme weather conditions of the east of Mornea, their nature and their emotions started to changed. Some of them begin to express their desire to turn around. These voices are stifled by Walko'Ota who pushes the caravan at all costs, in defiance of the safety of the most fragile, and sees himself nicknamed "the one who has lost his reason". The sachem accuses the stragglers and the most fragile to deliberately slow down the caravan and not giving importance to the survival of their people. He therefore restricts their access to food and water. Women who have had miscarriages because of the trip are treated the same way. The fear he inspires is even greater than the fear of dying on this trip.

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER - 30th SEPTEMBER

STORIES OF RADOS CULTS
During a storm blocking the caravan for several days, Guyat'Suta, the long-braided sachem pregnant at the moment, tries one last time to convince "the one who has lost his reason" to abandon the direction of the East to to head North, where she hopes to find fertile lands, or at least more welcoming ones. The tyranic sachem reamains deaf to the advice of his former counterpart and the tone goes up quickly between the two sachems. In a reaction of anger, exhaustion, deprivation and guided by a dark will that she can not explain, Guyat'Suta throws herself on Walko'Ota and cut his throat with a single and unique strike. The blood flowing from the remains of the old guide spread on the tent's floor, seeping into the sand and making three small perfectly round stones glow. These three stones will be taken and considered as relics, called the Tech'catli. This life-saving event is "The First Blood," the forbidden act preserving what remains of the three tribes, and without which the Radosi could not exist.

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER - 30th SEPTEMBER

STORIES OF RADOS CULTS
The survivors, their skin parched and sunburned, thirsty and moribund depart after "The First Blood" to the North taking advantage of a rare night-time lull. Guyat'Suta, traumatized by her actions but feeling responsible for the group and even more of all the women who have suffered from the actions of "the one who has lost his reason", decides to take the lead of the expedition, along with other women, until then quite discreet. Men, aware of what they have suffered, therefore agree to follow them. After a night of walk, they discover a welcoming oasis, with a very developed fauna and flora and an importan****er point. The survivors use this to heal and restore, beginning to restructure, under the impetus of the women who took the leadership of the group. In 782, they choose to settle permanently around this oasis that they name Raad'hos, which will evolve quickly in Rados. They became the Radosi.
