Clan Eakhtiyho

The Eakhtiyho are a major Aslan clan primarily residing in the Hierate. In 534 a succession crisis caused the ancient clan Hrasua to fracture into separate Hrasua and Eakhtiyho clans, an event known as the Sundering. The Eakhtiyho retained majority control of the clan corporation and Hrasua retained the seat on the Tlaukhu. In 1015 the two clans reconciled and merged back together. While the reunified clan is often known as Eakhtiyho in trans-Rift territories, the name Hrasua prevails in and around the Dark Nebula.

Description

The Eakhtiyho, which already owned facilities at Clan Base-equipped Elei'eah, annexed Aiolol on the grounds that it was necessary in order to ensure the proper patrolling of these strategic refuelling worlds. Although other clans balked at this, none made a move to overthrow Eakhtiyho dominance of Aiolol.

Status (Ranking)

• It currently has a Major Clan status (AsTX).
• It is currently ranked #5 within the Tlaukhu Council.

Culture & Society (Ethnology)

Eakhtiyho leaders prefer to give gifts of weapons to those they want to honor. Typically, the gift is a fine eakhyasear (hunter's rifle) created by a renowned gunsmith or made of metal from one of the Ancestral Worlds or even Kusyu itself. Likewise, they value receiving weapons as gifts. Such a gift need not have great intrinsic value, if it has an interesting history. According to one account, an Aslan noble gave a starship in return for a katana sword.
