THE DEUCALIANS

The Deucalians were a predominantly, but not exclusively, ethnic and linguistic Human culture of warrior raiders, originally native to Deucalia. An independent and nomadic people, the Deucalians formed settlements, scattered across several worlds. Once powerful and common enough to be known across the Galaxy, they have been reduced to a state of near extinction. Much of the culture, including the Deucalic language itself, has been lost to time. Much of their recorded history has been lost, with most survivors following practices that have survived through tales passed down from parent to child. As of the return of the Sith in the Force Eternal era the number of Decalians is presumed to be in the low thousands.

History

The elders speak of the lost world of Deucalia, where the Deucalian culture began. Deucalia was a harsh and punishing world, a world made by the gods to test the world the Deucalian people. The clans hunted for their very survival, fighting the massive wolves, and dragons that terrorized their very existence. Only the strongest survived, forged ever stronger by Deucalia. It is said that the gods spoke to the sages, warning them of Deucalia's impending doom.

It is said the gods exiled the Deucalian to prove their worth, and the first test was to survive Deucalia's death. No one knows exactly when the Deucalians were exiled from their world, but it is known that the first warrior, Freya, was the one who showed them how to take to the skies. It is said Freya faced and slew a direwolf to earn the respect of her people, so that when she called them they answered. It was on her word that they scattered, spreading across the stars, conquering as they went. The glory of Deucalia was unparalleled. Jedi, Sith, Mandalorian, none dared challenge them.

The gods smiled on them, and it is said many believed the gods might return their home to them, but the glory of Deucalia did not last. As time passed their victories become fewer and far apart. What remains now is but a scattered, beaten remnant of a once proud people. Deucalian clans, scattered across the Galaxy, live in isolation on harsh, unforgiving planets, recreating what little they can of lost Deucalia. With mere thousands left, they live a tough existence to prove their worth to their gods, hoping that one day they will be forgiven and the favor of the gods returned to them.

Culture​

The Deucalians were forged by their gods to be the greatest warriors in the Galaxy and they lives their lives for battle. The Deucalians are scattered across the Glaxy, grouped in clans loosely affiliated by familial bond. Each Deucalian clan is ruled by a Chief. Chief's are selected by a number of ceremonies each different depending on the clan and the instruction of the Chief before their death. Deucalian hierarchy beyond the Chief fall into many alignments, but the general rule of thumb is you get what you earn and you earn what you take. While some clans still raid in the skies like the Deucalians of old, most are too small and weak to man a space worthy craft. They have taken to raiding villages and settlements around their homes, often by sea and river crafts.

Their home world of Deucalia was said to have been a hellish landscape before it was lost to them, and though the details are now lost to time, over the centuries surviving Deucalians have taken to heart the need to prove their worth to their gods. Only then will they be forgiven by their gods, and their home returned to them. As a result all surviving Deucalians have made their homes on some of the most inhospitable locations across the Galaxy. This has also contributed to their decline over the centuries.

The Deucalians still tell stories of old Deucalia, of the mighty direwolves, the terrifying dragons, and of brave Freya and her fabled flight to the skies. But much of what made Deucalian culture has been lost to time. Their language is broken, most now speaking basic, albeit with an archaic and formal touch to their words. What few stories remain are often told differently by different clans, having morphed over the centuries.

Intent

To provide a write-up for the Deucalian culture so that they can be used for PC and NPC creation. The group as a whole is severely weakened, and scattered across the Galaxy, existing as small clans or family homesteads. Much of the culture is lost, and as discovery of more Deucalian people and artifacts is played out the lore will grow to add what is discovered. A more accurate write-up was present last TL, Deucalin Clans, which can be used for OOC reference.
