Imuchakk

Help Magi Wiki by editing this page.

**Imuchakk** (イムチャック　*Imuchakku)* consists of a loose confederacy of five clans who respect one another's governmental autonomy. Although these clans are all part of the Imuchakk tribe, each clan has its own laws. The national chief coordinates the five clans in order to avoid conflict and maintain nonaggression. However, peace is a more recent development. Because land is limited, there were severe conflicts between the clans. They have a reputation as barbaric plunderers notorious for harassing the ships of other countries. When Sinbad is 14, he uses the money he collected from Dungeon Valefor to establish a monopoly on trade with them.

## Race

Imuchakk are sturdy, blue-haired giants. They have adapted to be able to grab onto ice. While still human, their skin is as close to whale skin as possible. It can reduce friction in water and the body hair traps air in bubbles. They are able to propel themselves with minimal effort. Furthermore, their muscles contain 80% more protein than normals humans and can store more oxygen, making them capable of holding their breath for over an hour at a time.

## Culture

### Coming of Age

For a few months out of the year, rampaging unicorns migrate to an island near Imuchakk. Imuchakk seek battle with them to show proficiency in swimming, assessment of a situation underwater, and battle skill.  While using traps is not against the rules, Imuchakk warriors use only a harpoon out of tradition.

 Men are bestowed a childhood name at birth and an adult name upon completion of the coming of age ceremony. A boy who becomes a man without completing the coming of age ceremony is obligated to use his adult name rather than his childhood name, thus rendering him essentially nameless. On top of that, there is tremendous social pressure to pass the ceremony.

The Maharagan is held as a naming ceremony for a warrior who has passed the coming-of-age ritual. It also serves to show gratitude for the bounties he has returned with. At a certain point during the festivities, giant conch horns are blown to gather the attention of the crowd. The warrior is then presented with his new name and a deep-indigo headband decorated with a traditional pattern that represents the Imuchakk spirit.

### Strength of a Warrior

Imuchakk value strong warriors perhaps more than anything else. Strong men are always welcome in Imuchakk. This respect for strength above all else stems from the long history of conflict among Imuchakk tribes with one another and their neighbors. They have made their living as pirates since ancient times. Imuchakk men have developed a primitive form of magoi manipulation in a move called "**First Harpoon.**"

## Food

In Imuchakk, rampaging unicorn is a vital part of their way of life. The meat is made into jerky and sausages or salt-cured. In addition, they eat dynamic eels, including their pickled ovaries. They are also known to have tomatoes. To honor their most honorable warriors, they have an alcoholic drink of superior quality called "warrior."

## Climate

Imuchakk is a snowy, cold region of the extreme north. Without protection against the cold, an average person will freeze. The extreme slopes of the buildings' roofs likely prevent snow build-up, which can cause flat roofs to collapse.
