- The Khamelk is an extremely persistent animal. From just one single Khizuz fruit it gets enough nutrition to walk for weeks in the barren Yădakk lands.[1]
- After a long day traveling the roads of their beloved lands, every Yădakk loves to enjoy a cup of hot Khăl-iz around the stove in their yurt. This potion slightly pitches their voice in a way that makes it possible to sing the traditional chants that have been sung by their ancestors since the beginning of turns.[2]
Inspiration[]
The design of the Yădakk is inspired by the cultures of peoples living along the Silk Road, including the Turkish and Mongolian cultures.[3] This theme was inspired by the Mongol-themed fan-made tribe Moriton.[4]
The Khamelk (Yădakk animal) was inspired by Kamälgen, a monument in Midjiwan's hometown that is a cross between the camel and the moose. The name of the Khamelk is a portmanteau of the words "camel" and "elk."
