Comet-Tail
Comet Tails are a clan that started from a ship taken from an IMAG habitat. Diverging from Longtail, the clan was inspired by creation, artistry, and wanted to become a strong merchant power to sell vibrant and garish apparel to 'flavor' the empire with something as strong as their natural stripes. However they were a weak clan until they were desperate to apply to a great and early Azimari trade with skonorts to exchange in gildarh meat, among other goods. They took off as the leading and most powerful clan among a few to participate in the trading, and marked up prices and other services across the imperial exchange, lending them to become rich and a more prominent face for the empire in the Azimari universe. While they still struggle to be a Supreme-Clan, and often hold contempt and rivalry with the great Cloakmanes, they have gained significant influence and even pull some political weight above other smaller clans.
Culture
The pillars of "Komets" and what they're known for are as follows...
Nuzyla'Umisa Worship
They have a stronger faith and appreciation in Nuzyla than the other gods of the empire, and tend to mostly thank and speak in her name. However they aren't fully committed to the hostile arts, but rather seem to have a saintly or name-branding level that is strongest with her, or pray out the most, finding her the most valued god in spirit and faith rather than as a full guidance in how they act like some quycur would claim is proper.Fashion & Paradoxical Shame
CometTails can be most obviously spotted for their armed forces carrying unusually colorful and fully masked suits of armor that have a strong, dynamically fluid rainbow tint - They call these Refract Shells. They also make very common points to dye their manes, and accessorize, sometimes even overlapping or subduing an accomplished symbol of being a Gold or Silver rank person in the empire. They're very proud and bold about being expressive, and dislike hiding or subtle acts in even the field of war. However, they tend to try and say the face matters for these events. War and grim actions are done more masked, and showing less pelt. On the inverse, masking one's self without art in civil public is considered awful and shameful behavior. Their prominence in art also plays out over other traditions, and they don't willingly participate in 'hipotism' / Stripe trancing as they believe in a higher standard of appearance than simple stripes. Obese mares are also thought to challenge this, with an 'abundance of the body' that overstays its presence, and while stallions are still enamored with this its seen as bad ettiquette to be out in public sporting such a look.Tech > Talent
Komets tend to power with a lot of tech from a surge of their financial influence and trade. Being they adore flashy and garish colors, they don't train talent well in sneaky moves, better tactics, or even a lot of magic, but rather have ran well off of simply buying and distributing very strong tech... and stylish to their tastes. Komet rainbow armor tends to be backed up by multi-layered shielding systems, deflectors, and even a dispeller discharge that can break off certain mana attacks. They also employ unusual weapons, like 'Faeblade' paralyzing swords with a rainbow blade, and Artblok cannons that use a magic powder mix to create matter out of an ink-like fuel.Demography and Population
Largely composed of Zekani. They have a somewhat smaller access to skyros, but tend to have closer ties to more ovebis, and generate way better revenue streams from alien allies like the skonorts. Their bases tend to be very close to diverse areas, and they work closely beside smaller clans of Ovenhoov, and Tecco. Their faithful preaches to Nuzyla'Umisa assist in lending them lots of quycur interactions, but they rarely pledge to the clan name.
