Mahatalo's Clan

Mahatalo is one of my background Akicitia which I fleshed out pretty darn well in the series which will not be seen, though I hope to rewrite in all my spare time, ha! He is a lively Akicitia, totally opposite of his people, a bard for all intensive purposes, but a warrior as well.

Mahatalo and his small "Clan" of Akicitia came north after Mahatalo had a blow up argument with the rest of his original Clan. He was a major hunter in Ariella, along with his sister and about fifteen other warriors. He felt that they should reach out to the younger races, befriend them and trade with them, but his people wanted to remain isolated. He decided to take things into his own hands and talked to a nearby human tried to try and establish trade. (Which would have been successful given time.) When the elders of the clan found out they banished him from the Clan. His sister and the members of his hunt, along with their families, left the Clan and headed north to Tiana, because they saw the wisdom of Mahatalo's thoughts.

Once there they found a lot of resistance from ogres when they tried to settle and so Mahatalo decided being by the elves might be a good way to start making trade alliances with the other races. As they made their way north they were hounded by ogres and their kin and several of their numbers died in the process. A large attack came upon the Akicitia when they were nearly to the elven city of Qalataqa. It was here Veo Sunstar and his patrol found the harried Akicitia and helped.

Mahatalo and Veo hit it off immediately and an alliance was instantly born. Mahatalo and his people helped the infant Wolf Clan while the Wolf Clan helped Mahatalo's clan establish themselves.

Wisdom came to Mahatalo later in life as he watched his friend and his friend's children and grandchildren die. He knew his friend Veo and his Clan were important so he kept his clan close to the Wolf Clan knowing they would be needed someday. And they were, protecting Amber Blackwolf and Richard Goldenstern from Shaniko's troops as they searched for the staff of Veo. When Mahatalo died several centuries after the Time of the Chosen his clan of Akicitia returned south and established several different clans in the south (which include Krom's Grandfather Owl Clan). They did so because they figured their role as guardians of guardians was finished and they missed their kin.

For roleplaying purposes, a player could be an Akicitia from this clan if they wish at any time from the time of Veo to the time of the Chosen. They don't have any different powers then normal Akicitia, but they all speak High King's speech and most speak elven.
