Dhurkali Ethnicity in Adijari | World Anvil

Dhurkali

Dhurkali are an all women force of Rhakshas. THese rhakshasi become so through a mentorship with the dushkrivya is a set of trials that begin with a ceremony that binds the candidate to the tribe. The duskrivya revovles around the killing of '7' male tyrants. This spell grants the becoming rhakshasi the strength and powere that mimics powers of the seven tribes- often to a lesser degree, but that does depend on the variation of the duskrivya. THe seven 'killings' doesn't necessarily refer to a single person killed, but a series of seven trials where at least one male tyrant is killed each time. A different in the Dhurkali duskrivya is not just the mentorship but the involvement of others. Any number of dhurkali can be involved in most of the killing ceremonies, as long as the becoming rhakshasi does what is required of them. This is in stark contrast to the other tribes duskrivya, where rituals are often done alone.   A benefit of this to the tribe- is that not anyone can become Dhurkali. They must be mentored and supported by other Dhurkali to become one. This makes them the most unified rhakshas tribe.   The Dhurkali have an assortment of spells and powers that are similar to the the other Rhakshasa tribes. Their death eyes stuns instead of kills. A few are as strong as the Gorsath. Like the Onimuri they drain energy but only from rhakshasas outside of their tribe.
