Kuzat Language

The Kuzat language having its origins in the part of western Rathnir which is now Zefrania, is an ancient language only spoken by few in modern day Zefrania. 
== Kuzat Tribe ==
The Kuzat tribe had territory from what is now modern day Zefrania into modern day Uldarash. The Kuzat Tribe had its "capital" in modern day Acodon. Living in the giant Mount Behemoth. The tribe's 
history, rituals and symbols are still commonly used in Zefrania. Which means the language has in some ways been adopted, though the language is barely known. The language is hard to understand, and much of it haven't even been translated. 
=== The Behemoth ===
The behemoth which is now a huge cultural thing in Zefrania, was alive around the age of the Kuzat Tribe's existence. With them abusing its powers, eventually draining it of all life, crafting powerful weapons, which could slay armies of soldiers. Most of these weapons have been lost through times, though the two most powerful ones are still believed the exist, "The Tusks of the Behemoth" One of them have been found, the least powerful one though many lives have still been claimed by this sword. The sword is currently held by the Zefranian Tenoch Orleborle. The swords are made out of the blood and remaining parts of the behemoth's original tusks. And held together by strong netherite. The second sword is believed to be even more powerful, but has yet to be found. 
=== Discovery ===
A short time after the Acodonite Tribe settled the town "Acodon" in the area where the Kuzat tribe used to live, they quickly started discovering walls with texts on them. They couldn't understand these texts. But they had decided to dig into the mountain, to seek answers to their questions. They found a huge room eventually, with a 4x4 obsidian block with texts on it, over it hung parts of the ribcage of the behemoth. They quickly started removing the items from in there. Eventually they decided to break up the obsidian block, upon the orders of the Tenoch as he could sense power inside the block. Upon them breaking it, they found on of the Behemoths tusk, its name being engraved into the blade. 
The remaining parts of the ribcage couldn't be found, but they used quartz and calcite as artificial bone to reconstruct it. The spine and ribcage is kept inside "The Behemoth's Tomb" in Acodon. 
After studying the language they eventually found the meaning of some words, to their great surprise one of them told a prophecy, that if all the Behemoth's parts were brought together again it would come back alive, and bring great terror to revenge the pain which was done to its kind. They also found the word "Tenoch" which means Guide or Leader. What it means is that, the Tenoch guides its people through life, and leads them with honour and respect. It has now been adopted as the title of the Zefranian leader, also now meaning "King of The Zefranians".

== Kuzats ==
 The Kuzat people are very similar to the Talwans. They are not elf like, as they are descendants of humans however they have evolved the cope with the immense heat of the Ummarnu deserts. Their skin is grey and their eyes crimson. The Zefranians have inherited most of these traits, however coming from the north they look different. They are skilled in the desert and how to use it to survive and thrive.
