Seguleh

Page history last edited by Eloth 9 years, 6 months ago

The Seguleh

A fierce isolationist island people off the southern coast of Genabackis

 

Appearance: The warriors all wear masks denoting their rank.


Samar Dev stopped listening, since she had heard Puddy’s boasts before, and held her gaze on the woman the Meckros warrior had called a Seguleh.  First Empire word, that.  The Anvil.  Strange name for a people -- likely some remnant clan from the colonial period of Dessimbelackis’ empire.  A fragment of an army, settled on some pleasant island as their reward for some great victory -- those armies were each named, and ‘The Anvil’ was but a variation on a theme common among the First Empire military (DoD)

'Their homeland is an island south of here, and they’re said to be a private lot, disinclined to travel. But they are known of as far north as Nathilog.’ And Hood take me, aren’t they known....For the Seguleh, rank is everything. If the hierarchy’s in doubt, challenge it. They don’t waste time.' - Toc the Younger - (MoI, UK Trade, p.37)

 

'...these are Seguleh! The most feared warriors on this continent...There’s supposed to be a legendary Seguleh with an unmarked mask. White porcelain. Not that anyone has ever seen him, except the Seguleh themselves, I suppose. They are a warrior caste. Ruled by the champion.' - Toc the Younger - (MoI, UK Trade, p.128)

 

'‘Their communication...is mostly non-verbal. They assert dominance with posture, faint gestures, direction of stance and tilt of head.’ - Onos T'oolan - (MoI, UK Trade, p.128)

 

'The demands of the self have primacy, mistress. Always, else there would be no champions. There would be no hierarchy at all. The Seguleh would be ruled by mewling martyrs blindly trampling the helpless in their lust for the common good. Or we would be ruled by despots who would hide behind an army to every challenge, creating of brute force a righteous claim to honour. We know of other lands, mistress. We know much more than you think.’ - Mok - (MoI, UK Trade, p.653)

'Anomander Rake once crossed blades with a score of Seguleh, one after the other. He’d paid an unannounced visit to the island – knowing nothing of the inhabitants. Taking human form and fashioning a mask for himself, he elected to walk down the city’s main thoroughfare. Being naturally arrogant, he showed no deference to any who crossed his path...Two bells. That was the full duration of Rake’s visit to the island and its people. He described the ferocity of that short time, and his dismay and exhaustion which led him to withdraw into his warren if only to slow the hammering of his heart.' - Lady Envy - (MoI, UK Trade, p.130)

 

A score of Seguleh, all that remained of the Second's forces, formed one impossibly thin link with the Grey Swords.  Each one had fallen to Anomander Rake, and this knowledge alone was sufficient, for it burned like acid, it stung like shame. (TtH)

They are also connected to the Tyrant. In BH, when cutter and heboric enter the D'rek temple, they have a nice chat Hood's solder.
