[Lore] What is the role of jingakh for Maraketh akara or sekhema?
I am trying to understand the Maraketh lore, and what is a mystery is a meaning of "jingakh"
According to context from NPC's dialogues (Heist also (Nashta's death contract that final private word is not for ears of jingakh)), as far as I understand a jingakh may be - a foreigner, friendly to Maraketh akara's or - a mercenary that guards sekhema or - an ally of akara or sekhema that fights for them or - just a friend of sekhema The most probable role is an ally of sekhema, but more opinions will be good. There once was an exile who found a map of infinite doctors. Last bumped on Dec 29, 2024, 3:03:48 AM

Yeah the lady in act 2 says to my witch, (maybe she says it to all classes) "I am loath* to allow you access to sacred Deshar, but better a single jingakh than an army of spiteful enemies. Our city of the dead has to be protected, no matter the cost".
she says hesitent but loath is written. ign HC: Ek_dank Acct name xDank Last edited by xDank#2934 on Dec 27, 2024, 11:42:36 PM

A Jingakh is an Outsider, spoken with generally negative meaning (since most Maraketh dislike all outsiders). This can be thought of as roughly equal to Gaijin.
The player (Save the Sorceress) are all outsiders to the Maraketh, and thus, Jingakh. It is not a position of honor, and the Maraketh prefer to keep outsiders out, and give duties of honor to Maraketh. The word has no native influence as to if the subject is an ally or enemy, anyone who is not Maraketh is Jingakh, Eternal, Ezomyte, Oriathan, Mutewind, Karui. All are Jingakh. Faridun are not, they -where- Maraketh, and where placed into a special outcast group specifically forbidden from the rights and customs of Maraketh (Such as living in a caravan or city, being given proper burial, etc). A Jingakh would also normally be prohibited from this by default, but they're not specifically excluded from it (unlike Faridun). To further expound, Faridun end up that way by -serious- breeches of the social norm, anyone born with a noted defect (as they are seen as signs of influence by corruption), and I think anyone who gains a defect could face such a fate (such as Shambrin's blindness). A lot of this is an outgrowth of their need to survive, that every member of a clan must be able to carry their weight, as there's not enough food and water to feed those who are unable to perform a useful function. |
