Eternal War

Land Of Exiles

The "Eternal War" is much like the Flower Wars by the Sang; in that they happen every year. Although, there is significantly less pomp and circumstance. Taulli actively participate in aggressive raids on the borders of their collective realms with non-taulli to destroy any settlement found there and kill potential animal game; in order to discourage future immigration.

Taulli grow no crops. They sustain themselves on husbandry and hunting which has contributed to their martial prowess and their relating material possessions with social status. The common fighter is driven by honor and supremacy; and go into battle with various religious items as a reminder to their obligations and as a means of enforcing the command structure.

1000 Men To War

Every realm is made up of some number of cantons which can be home to about 3,000 to 10,000 individuals. Chiefs and generals of these cantons are mandated to draw at least 1000 men every year for these campaigns.   They are regularly trained to divide into units of 100 bands to practice fake routs for tricking their enemies and maintaining the Dead Zone.

Land of Exile

Kings of the realm assemble on specific days as according to the Blood Moon. During these times, all effeminacy is concealed and thousands of men are gathered to determine who the armies will war against.   The trade paths along the shadow pass, and parts of northernmost Salt Side, as the defacto border regions that make up the Dead Zone to prevent habitation by other peoples. However, it is also that the levels of salt in Salt Side's ground makes growing consumable plant life impossible. Thus, this entire side of the valley is considered 'dead' by Taulli.
