The Golden Horde

The Golden Horde is a Talemonese Pygmy holy order founded by Anu that functions as his personal guard and elite supersoldiers specialising in magical weaponry, shock and awe tactics and use of animals in combat. 
== Initiation Ritual ==
For a Pygmy to become a member of the Golden Horde, they must typically be one of great reknown and strength within the Ogun caste. If they are worthy, they are invited to drink the King's Wine, a drink brewed from the blood of Anu himself. This drink judges the individual from the inside, testing their will, strength and spirit. If these qualities are found wanting, the drink will immediately kill its consumer. However, if they are worthy, they are granted golden eyes and a stronger physique; furthermore, those that are the worthiest, whose ideals align perfectly with Anu's and see their mission in life as a servant of Anu and his ambitions, they will grow Gods' arms, an extra pair of functional arms growing beneath their original set.

* The Dragon's Tongue: A mana-infused copper dagger forged by Iyawa the Mansa-Smith. Enchantments in the metal keep it as hot as the day it was forged. To keep it from burning its host, it comes with a mana-enchanted sheath. There are only four of it in existence and the spells are prone to fizzling or breaking, causing either the knife to cool down or get too hot, or the sheathe to stop working and catch fire.
