Teṅkalu Clan

"The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of strength and war but by words and affluence. "

The Teṅkalu Clan is one of the five clans in Heiyān and the third most influential. The clan is renowned for its proficiency in statecraft and strategizing and while the Teṅkalu are seen as reclusive and aloof by the other clans, they understand the necessity of acting only when the time is right.

They are also known as the Left Hands of the Ēkavarka and were the masters of the courts with the status and wealth commensurate with such a position.
