==History==
When the Dragon Isles reawakened, the Shikaar were preparing to assemble with the other clans at the Khural in Maruukai. The last Shikaar caravan to travel to the city was the one from Timberstep Outpost, which included Sansok Khan herself.Making Introductions The outpost was being harassed by the neighboring Mudfin gorlocs, who raided the Shikaar's supplies and dognapped their bakar companions.Supplies for the JourneySole Supplier The Primalist leader Koroleth approached Sansok and tried to recruit her, but the khan refused.Welcome at Our Fire At the same time, adventurers came to the Ohn'ahran Plains to make contact with the green dragonflight. They encountered the Shikaar Scout Tomul, who made the outsiders prove themselves by helping a Shikaar hunting party kill a Blazing Proto-DragonInto the Plains before bringing them to Timberstep Outpost and introducing them to Sansok. The khan agreed to let the adventurers come along on the journey to Maruukai if they lent their aid to the clan,The Shikaar whose members were initially wary of the outsiders.

The Shikaar are the strongest hunters of the Maruuk. Their camps are spread throughout the Ohn'ahran Plains, following the patterns of wildlife and game. They are less concerned with tradition than Clan Ohn'ir and instead pride themselves on mastery in their own crafts.Shikaar Giver They enjoy telling stories of their kills. After completing their first hint, young Shikaar hunters are gifted with a ceremonial spear.Renewal of Vows The Shikaar's hunters traditionally provide meat for all of the shared meals at the Khural by hunting game on their way to Maruukai. The Shikaar wear medallions which are adorned with the clan's symbol and can be crafted from leather obtained during their first hunt.Medallion of a Fallen Friend (quest) When they join Ohn'ahra in the sky (i.e. when they die), they leave the medallions behind.The Sole Mender
The Shikaar keep herds of domesticated argaliDomesticated Argali and muskenPack Musken and use bakar and ohuna as hunting companions and herding animals. The bakar serve as the Shikaar's fellow hunters, guards, and best friends, and each one holds a special place in the clan. The Shikaar give their bakar collars, which can be adorned with the dogs' puppy teeth and bone ornaments from their first hunt.Sarnai's Collar On the other hand, the ohuna's relationship to the clan is transient since the birds do not answer to the centaur, but to the sky. Each spring, an ohuna chooses a new hunter to accompany, and each winter they return to their kin. The Shikaar consider it an honor to hunt alongside them.Skyhunter Pahra#Quotes
If an outsider wants to impress the Shikaar, they must prove their worth by showing their hunting skills.Proving Oneself Doing so earns them a place at the clan's campfire.Welcome at Our FireThe Shikaar
Most Shikaar know sign language and can therefore talk directly to their deaf leader Sansok Khan, but there are still many who cannot and require the help of Sansok's interpreter Okir.Okir#Quotes
Shikaar hunters can also be found in the Azure Span and Thaldraszus on Grand Hunts.
