"In practice, Marshals are Hekarro's roving lawgivers - part magistrate, part judge, part executioner."
Fashav[1]

Marshals are a rank in the Tenakth, serving as the direct subordinates of the Chief.

History[]

The rank of Marshal was formed by Hekarro sometime after his ascension to chiefdom. Like many of his unification policies, the name and position derives from the Vision of Anne Faraday's call for peace, the name interpreted by the Tenakth as a protective spirit from the ancient past.[2]

Role[]

Marshals serve as peacekeepers and enforcers of the Chief's will. A common duty is for them to travel between the clans to resolve disputes.[3] If necessary, they can give punishment as they see fit, including exile or death.[4] They also serve as representatives for the tribe, such as during embassies with the Carja.[1]

Javveh held the title of High Marshal,[5] the only known one, although his role as a High Marshal is never explained.

It appears that the position of Marshal is considered lower than Champion, as Ivvira mentions that dealing with the Zeniths is something for a Champion, not a Marshal.[6]

Attainment[]

To become a Marshal, one must survive and defeat a machine during the Kulrut:[7] a trial-by-combat against machines in the Arena,[2] and in succeeding, one must forsake their clan to serve the Chief and the tribe as a whole. A Kulrut is held whenever the Chief demands it, and aspirants from all three clans are sent to compete, as the Kulrut cannot take place without all three clans present.[8]

Non-Tenakth are permitted to take part in the Kulrut and become Marshals.[2]

Attire[]

Marshals adorn themselves in the Chief's colors: white and pale grey, accented with blue and yellow. Beyond this coloration, Marshals generally wear outfits similar to what they wore while a member of their respective clans.
