Powers and Perils

The Kakana

The Kakana are perverse, cannibalistic worshipers of Kototh. Their neighbors regard them as a cancerous growth whose presence exudes evil and corruption.

Population

The total population of the Kakana is 15,000. They can field 3,000 warriors.

Economy

The economy is based on barter and raiding. They have no economic relations with their neighbors.

Religion

The Kakana worship Kototh in a perverse and evil manner.

Personality

The Kakana enjoy humor, pleasant surroundings and sadism. They enjoy the screams of an enemy under torture and take great pains to "arrange" this pleasure perfectly. They are fanatically devoted to Kototh. To honor him, and emulate his children, they eat other humans. One of the worst fates that anyone can suffer is to be captured by the Kakana.

Legal System

The 43 Kakana clans are ruled by their Shamans. Any person who is found guilty of a crime is eaten. If the crime is major, he is tortured first.

Among the Kakana, a Shaman cannot commit a crime. Any action that he takes is legal because he is Shaman. (Shamans who abuse their privileged status have a tendency to die in their sleep - or to wake up and wish that they could have been so lucky.)
