Nation fluff

Nation:
The Kokotol clans are nomadic herders that move about the plains in seperate clans. Every clan has their own Sir, or clan leader, and when many clans have a leader they are called a Sira. The Kokotol believe that long ago great spirits of earth, fire, water, and air lived in the sky. From there they created the world. They then shattered themselves, creating all life spirits and world spirits. The life spirits gave themselves form as the animals and plants and spread. The largest of the life spirits became the races of the world, or stayed without flesh and became totem spirits. The Kokotol worship these totem spirits by creating totems and bringing them with them on the move. World spirits are worshiped by creating large sites of power on sites designated as holy sites. Shamans speak for the totem and world spirits and ask them for aid. The Kokotol bond with a totem spirit by taming and training many sorts of beasts. A spiritual clan will have a variety of different beasts. When an animal must be slaughtered it is made sure little pain comes to it and prayers are made for it to thank it for it's sacrifice. They are a shamanistic society where taming and domestication of beasts is considered the highest form of worship and have a few permanent holy sites. They will raid neighbors for goods and wealth, although usually if the neighbor is noticeably weaker as a clan war usually ends with the men of one clan killed and their women taken by the winning clan. The ideal man to the Kokotal is a good fighter and tamer, harsh to his enemies and kind to his family. The ideal woman to the Kokotal is kind and graceful, a good cook and weaver, wise in the knowledge of plants and herbs.

Leader:
As all Sira he became Sira, or the leader of many of the great clans, through intimidation and awe as having the largest herd of the clans and having the most animal partners. The Sira are the greatest warlords of the clans and the kind leader of the people. He is the beloved of the most animal totems and judge in clan feuds.
Kata's initiation started with a hawk's cry, a notable sign that great fortune is to come. During the ceremony many of one of the other clan leaders dogs came up to him for attention, a sign that the person is loyal and has a strong sense of justice. In the end the shamans named him Sira and his name was spread to the clans. Then Sira Kata looks towards the sky, the origin of the world, then down to the plains, the origin of all races, and smiled as he envisioned the prosperity he will create for his people.
