Ahtat is a decent size clan of rat-like creatures known as Tyik. They dwell in the middle of the forest and are a lot more traditional, using old tools such as spears for hunting. Their specialty is stealth as they like to hide in trees waiting for food sources to pass by. They do not own a large territory around their area, but they are protective over what they own. While they do not attack on sight, they will attack as soon as they determine you a threat. Ahtat has a long history running a couple of millennia back which includes a conflict they had with a kingdom known as Jairal and a brief conflict with Magmad, both conflicts started when members of said kingdoms moved into their territory. Jairal backed off when the Tyiks' high stealth skills made their defensive attacks difficult to fend off. Magmad on the other hand was a result of a misunderstanding when members of Magmad harmed one of their members. After a short exchange of hostility they were able to come to an understanding. Ahtat also played a tiny role in a galactical war. Teal's father was once a member of Ahtat, but when he married a Magikert, he retired from the place to keep the place hidden from "outsiders". At a point in the galactical war Teal's father lost his life alongside his wife's. Ahtat holds ceremonial passings if any of their current or previous members pass away as per tradition. They are in the range of the tropics so they are rarely short on water. They get good warm temperatures and a good dose of thunderstorms during their storm season, which they locally call the Aqpek (Awg-peck) season, which simply means "wave top".
