Sokku Order

*Sokku-Nayv Coeth Nyvapárid Mlyeun*

The emblem of the Sokku Order, known as the Gachōri' Zehgothu.

The Sokku Order is the largest Nyvaparid Order in the world and is one of the only Nyvaparid Orders to have a proper nation.

The Sokku Order was founded by Master Zhantu in around 282,000 in the shores of southern Gammeria where today is located the city of Kanashima. The Sokku Order is currently led by the Grandmaster Zhetyun Cashlein (24 A.D. -), who took this position in 210 A.D. after his successful campaign into the Infinite Empire during the Kavoshi War, and its Council is currently composed of 25 Masters.

The Order focuses on honour and faith, worshipping the goddess Genchina and being the only order to still have the Duels of Honour and to still have the Hakethi system, it, however, is extremely unstable, especially due to the Hakethi system, which implies superiority of Masters over Nyvaparids which can sometimes lead to revolts by groups of Nyvaparids unsatisfied with their Masters and their leadership or Masters can revolt, rarely, but they do sometimes due to the poor leadership of the temples they protect, and thus revolt to take over said temple. Most revolts, however, do not reach their final goal and mostly last couple of months.

## Structure

The Sokku order is highly different in it's administrative and military structure in comparison to other Orders, as it utilises the Hakethi System, one which implies superiority of Masters, the ability for Temples to have multiple Masters in which every 10 years one is elected to go to the Council based on their capabilities becoming the High Master of the temple having the final say on what can be done with the temple and administrating the training of new Masters and sometimes Warriors as they are also trained by the upper Council members, speaking of the Council the Sokku Order's Council is divided into two: the Lower Council; which proposes acts and regulates the entering of Masters into the Upper Council, which is the superior portion of the Council, formed by the best Masters of the Sokku Order, these have the final say and have the highest amount of administrative power and are the only ones capable of declaring peace or war with a nation and regulating things like the commerce, diplomacy and military of the Order, reminder a war on another nation by the Sokku Order does not mean the Empire is also participating though they may join if they wish to or if a city is attacked.

The Council is able to veto any action by any Master, and is led by a Grandmaster, currently the Grandmaster is Zhetyun Cashlein, Grandmasters are elected both by the Imperial Senate, Council, Warriors, Mages and Masters, those in the role of Grandmaster are expected to have both the power to rule such fragile and large order and to also protect the order and empire from external and even internal threats, even if such are almost impossible to detect, predict and avoid, such as Blood Bender revolts.

## Combat Form

The Sokku Order utilises as its main combat form for Warriors and Masters alike form 12 (Kkehushi), a combat form that implies rapid consecutive aggressive moves and heavy blows that empower the enemy rapidly, this form makes heavy usage of the Elemental Powers to enhance the user's agility and energy preservation and other than that the Elemental Powers are also used to allow rapid movements around the battlefield/duelfield, duels between members of the Sokku Order mostly consist of both sides attempting to hit each other while doing flips, dashes and more throughout the duelfield, and when combat truly occurs it mainly consists of rapid strikes by both sides in an attempt to empower the other.

This combat form is greatly effective against non-nyvaparids as it consists of highly unexpected moves from the point of view of normal soldiers and it is pratically impossible for anyone to be able to ever hit a Sokku Warrior due to the heavy usage of rapid consecutive and sharp movements in battle which are virtually impossible to outmatch by a normal trained soldier.

## History

The Sokku Order was formed by Master Zhantu and his followers in around 282,000 at the southern coastline of Gammeria, where today is located the city of Kanashima, constructing the Temple of Genchina in a nearby hill, settlements would spring out around the temple and spread far beyond the initial hill, rapidly growing to become a supermassive city, being the largest one in the world, stretching for countless kilometers throughout the coastline. The Sokku Order quickly grew, as Gammeria lacked the presence of creatures that could impede a rapid expansion of the Sokku Order, by 268,000 the Sokku Order had already expanded far beyond Kanashima, having temples already in the outer reaches of the Tibetan Plateau and temples in the jungles of Indochina.

The Sokku Order aimed to expand to a certain extent, that allowed them to remain in peace and stability, they would stop expanding in 258,800, other temples would still be constructed around Gammeria and Asia even after this period, and "split" off into 2: the Sokku Order itself and the Air Monks, who would expand into the Tibetan Plateau constructing countless temples of worship, they mostly stayed in peace, not caring about the outside.

During this period the Sokku Order would be in it's golden age, countless temples and cities would rise, the First Sokku Empire would be formed and hundreds of thousands of people would start joining both the Empire and the Order, the Sokku Order during this time would adopt the Hakethi System after the rebellion of the Nyvaparids of the Temple of Koolllōgyin in 254,726 in order to
