Fõ tsoyest klas (fõ ˈʦojest klas)

In order to complete the ritual known to northmen in their alien langauge as Pfenʻest klãnʻ ẽls, they are reqiured a tool to scar their flesh into intiquite designs. They seem to call it Fõ tsoyest klas, whatever that means.

— Clímaco Lefèvre

The chisel-like Fõ tsoyest klas is an object that, even as its religious origins are slowly fading into history, retains a sense of cultural reverance since the traditions of which it is tied to have not died and yet been forgotten by the cultures of North-eastern Chasuria. And, so long as the Pfenʻest klãnʻ ẽls is a commonly practised rite of passage, it will remain as such.

What does it comminuicate?

The so-called 'tattoos' of these northern folk are usually of meaning in their writing system. While they are of no meaning to an outsider, they can dispouse a thousand different readings within their runes.

Significance

Within the north, more specifically the Plëpfõ peoples of most northern Atoirel, the significance of the Fõ tsoyest klas is immense thanks to it role in the scarification rituals within many traditions such as Pfenʻest klãnʻ ẽlsot as well as weddings and the birthing of children not to mention more. These rituals, even as Daiustrism and other faiths spread and claim to abhor such practises, seem to remain. Even if there is pressure to crack down upon these practises in Anharlea by the extreme and zelous Daiustrism missionary organisations, none of their proposals have come to pass by the Klãnʻ Chyūll Pfa & Bha Na Fir which govern.
