Traditional Yazirian Equipment
Bower Tent
A bower tent is a temporary tent like shelter that can be mounted on the
side of a giant tree. Traditionally it's made from wood poles, vine ropes and
hides but modern version exist that are light weight and water proof. The
tent can be mounted above or beneath a large branch for extra stability.
A yazirian with skills that allow him to craft items in survival
situation can make one automatically depending on the availability of materials. Any yazirian with out such a skill can make a LOG check to see
if he remembers enough to attempt to make one and then must make a LOG
check to succeed at doing it. The primitive version can be water proofed animal fat or plant oils but its not permanent nor 100% successful
in a torrential down.
Primitive Bower Tent: 5kg, 10 Cr.
Modern Bower Tent: 1kg, 30 Cr.
Kesheck Ol-TorThe ancient name is kesheck o-tor which is
literally kesheck tooth since this war club is made from the
teeth of that giant carnivore. The modern usage is o-tor.
Modern versions of this weapon usually have a metal head since the kesheck
is an endangered species. Originally
the weapon was made from a hardwood handle with kesheck teeth set into
the club by drilling holes with a stone drill tip and a bow drill. The
teeth were secured with a tough animal blood glue and thin leather wrap.
The pattern for setting the teeth varied by region and clan but a
common pattern was four set at 90degrees from each other at the end of
the club. Some times one was mounted on the end of the club if the owner desired to
be able to throw it. The handle had leather wraps and a loop for grip and
hanging from an equipment harness. This facilitated climbing or secured the club during combat with a loop over the
wrist. This weapon was a status symbol
for only the greatest hunters and warriors since tradition held that a
warrior must kill the dangerous kesheck by himself. Once a warrior died
who owned a kesheck the weapon became a ceremonial item for his clan. In
ancient times it was believed that the spirit of both the kesheck and
the warrior that made the weapon were imbued in the weapon.
Kesheck Ol-Tor: 1kg, Considered priceless by the clan it belongs to but valued at 40,000 Cr by the CFM in modern times
Ol-TorL 1kg, 30 Cr.
Brak-miraThe brak-mira is an ancient weapon made using similar construction
techniques as the kesheck ol-tor. A straight or curved length of wood
has a lengthwise groove carved into it and micro blades of obsidian or
flint were glued in place with a strong blood glue. Prone to dulling, the weapon was abandoned, once metal working was
developed. A traditional brak-mira will dull on any attack roll of 95-00 or doubles and will lose 1d10 of damage. Modern names for the weapon are bakmira or bakmra depending
on dialect, region, or clan. The ancient form, brak-mira, derived from
the root word mira, meaning blade. Modern bakmira are often simply
refered to by their Pan Gal name: sword. Some very rare and ancient examples
of this weapon used flat sharp aquatic carnivore teeth and were less
prone to the dulling problem.
Tradional Brak-mira: 1kg, 75 Cr.
Modern Bakmira: 2kg, 30 Cr.
Olt-MiraThe olt-mira derived from the root words for tooth and blade. In antiquity, when
suitable teeth were available, ceremonial knives were made from from
carved from these teeth with micro blades of obsidian or flint glued into a carved
groove. Many were made from kesheck teeth if the beast was killed by
group effort. Ceremonial knives are still made in this fashion in modern
times but kesheck teeth only become available as
these animals die from natural causes. The Family of One tightly controls the availability of
these teeth, favoring clans according to its own agenda.
Traditional Kesheck Olt-Mira ceremonial blade: Considered priceless by its clan but valued by the CFM at 15,000 Cr.
Tradional Olt-Mira (non kesheck tooth): Considered priceless by its clan but valued by the CFM at 1,000 Cr.
