Draji respect strength and ruthlessness, qualities personified by their warriors. The jasuan knights, named for Tectuktitlay’s beloved pet drakes, embody these principles. Jasuan knights are warriors born into one of the city’s heroic clans, the descendants of great Draji heroes of long ago. Unlike the nobles of other city-states, Draji nobles aren’t necessarily wealthy landowners. Their riches lie in their membership in the city’s foremost clans, and their trade is war.
Each noble clan claims the allegiance of certain artisan or merchant clans. Warriors of these lower clans are bound to “their” jasuans and fight under their command.
