Tokay (Conquest)

The Tokay are an NPC faction in Hyrule: Total War.

Description
The primitive Tokay are native to the lush Crescent island, just south of Labrynna. They are a culturally awkward peoples with many customs considered odd by many. Rank and stature in their society is usually determined by absurdly simple materials rather than skill: a Tokay that has a shirt with short sleeves is considered more important and superior than a Tokay that has a shirt with no sleeves for instance. This has made the Tokay extremely easy to manipulate and dupe out of their untapped resources by more civilized cultures. So naive and lost to their little reality are the Tokay that they often willingly let themselves become slaves to others, thinking that the outfit and food provided to them makes them better than their brothers. Indeed more than half the Tokay population serve as unpaid workers, soldiers, and prostitutes in the Labrynna Regime.

Physiology
The Tokay are bipedal reptiles that, much the the Lizalfos, have developed an evolutionary equivalent to Mammalian mammaries and likely bear live young. They appears are bipedal creatures with light green diamond-patterned scales and large oblong heads.

Geography
The Tokay are native to Crescent Island, a large, resource-rich island located in the northwestern Sea of Storms, south of Labrynna. It is separated from the mainland by the Crescent Strait.

Society
In Tokay culture, status is not determined by perceived birthright, martial prowess, or competence. Rather, it is determined by one's ability to obtain "exotic" items beyond the production capabilities of the Tokay, such as high-quality food, clothing, and other vanity items. Paramount among these are sleeved shirts- individuals with possession of these articles of clothing are so revered they hold the status of chieftains or even Royalty, regardless of actual leadership ability. The Tokay exist as scattered fishing or hunter-gatherer tribes across Crescent Island, with few organized settlements.

Technology
The Tokay, even among the medieval societies of continental Hyrule, are a highly undeveloped people, existing in a stone-age culture that lacks advanced metallurgy, textile production, construction, or even agriculture. Their few settlements are little more than large gatherings of wooden huts crudely organized into fishing villages.

Strengths, Weaknesses and Abilities

 * Resource Rich: Crescent Island is a land teeming with many resources, many which the Tokay do not even use.
 * Backwards Culture: Tokay society is considered very backwards to that of other empires. They are more concerned with rare foods and colorful clothing as currency rather than rupees and financial wealth. This also makes them very easy to be manipulated by outside influences.
 * Willing Slaves: Many Tokay are willing to give up their freedom for a nice outfit and a daily meal. This makes them very cheap mercenaries and very willing to fight in foreign wars that they don't even understand.
