Gaðërïŋ-Yoži
The Gaðërïŋ-Yoži is a roughly 15 meter high obelisk in the center of the city of Žënhðwör, the capital city of the Maðúšýï Tribe. Its name refers to the Hvýomað-Yoži, the leader of the Maðúšýï Tribe's army sections, or Yoži. Each Hvýomað-Yoži would ceremonially inscribe his name on the obelisk upon being chosen. In such a fashion similar to that of the Žömëp-Fýtaŋ, this action was akin to the giving up of one's own identity, purpose, and pride (that is, the symbolic discarding of one's own innate self at the obelisk) for that of the tribal collective, namely the preservation thereof.
Ironically, the act of giving up such an integral part of one's own self has led to these army leaders being one of the earliest confirmed names regarding the elusive Maðúšýïan populations. In fact, owing to the very raiding-focused nature of the tribe itself, any and all aspects of life were neglected except those related to raiding, and as such, the Gaðërïŋ-Yoži stands as the only such record of the Maðúšýïans' early history.
