The 'Tiger Warriors' is a term that refers to a variety of entities, most often associated with the [[Amata\|Amata people]].

	== ~~History~~ ==		== First Tiger Warriors ==

	It is likely the Tiger Warriors originated from the initial clans and family groups that lead the Amata migration west during the establishment of the Kingdom of Okso.
			==== History ====
			The first known iteration of an institution referred to as the tiger warriors would emerge with the migration of western [[Okriti Highlanders\|highlander]] clans to the Onomati lowlands in the late 13th century TT. During this period the [[Ukubian Civilization\|Ukubian Empire]] was at its territorial peak after conquering the lowlands towards the Omolai with the subjugation, however these conquests saw great losses after the death of [[Patyan Cakmul Toi Serot]] in 1212 TT after the unsuccessful invasion of Waaq. Ukubian mines began to drain in supply due to heavy demand for military equipment as pirate raids on Ukubian ports increased exponentially, which led to the Ukubian nobility commissioning a multitude of expeditions into the areas adjacent to the Ukubian heartland. These areas were avoided in the early days of the empire due to the rough weather and terrain alongside superstition regarding the [[Totosi mountain range]] as a whole, however the mineral density of the area drew more and more attention as mineral reserves drained. Ukubian expansion into the highlands then began with large military expeditions founding mining camps that displaced local highlanders. This coincided with increasingly brutal raids from what would be the ancestors of the [[Kassafret]] from the north and east, forcing the local clans to 'submit' to Ukubian dominance in order to facilitate migration to safer lands under the military's direction. The Ukubian nobility and part of the common folk of the Ukubian heartland held heavy distaste towards the other highland clans, and stipulated that they would only be allowed entry on the grounds of settling outside the valley under military supervision. As such highland clans began to migrate on foot westwards in large bands enforced upon by Ukubian guards.

			These bands were often formed regardless of clan affiliation, and were subject to heavy rationing and overall poor conditions, resulting in a large loss of life. It was within this period of migration from 1208-1195 TT that the first Tiger Warrior society most likely emerged. As bands of emigrees were administered with mutual neglect, it is likely that migrant bands independently formed a de facto "officer corps" to police the rations distributed by Ukubian guards. Likewise, the onset of Ukubian rule brought with it oppression of highlander customs, creating a shared that struggled that further the need for a united and independent authority. The tiger warriors thus most likely consisted of individuals who ceremonially disavowed their totemic clan in favour of ensuring that all members of migrant bands received the same level of rations, that thefts and murders were punished rightfully - as they were often ignored by the Ukubians - and that shared traditions were not lost. When settlement in the Onomati lowlands was completed in 1194 TT, this system was likely kept due to distrust of the greater Ukubian establishment. These ancestral Amata societies would continue to independently

	In ----TT the Okso Kingdom attempted to conquest Amata polities directly to its west, which included territories controlled by the Tiger Warrior. 'He who has wild eyes' was a historical Tiger warrior leader who united the various Warbands and led tiger warrior resistance. Oksonite records describe him a as a great tactician who often employed brutal and bizarre scare tactics against Oksonite forces. He would later be captured and executed publicly under request of the Far. His character would be used by both the Tiger Warriors and the Okso government to justify their respective causes. The Tiger Warriors characterized his actions as examples of bravery and resistance, whereas the Oksonites would paint him as the picture of Amata savagery, justifying their invasion. These traits which he is often characterized and remembered for are most likely due to contracting syphilis late in his life.

	Kamkam, 'the bloodying', was a ceremony held to inaugurate newly chosen Tiger warrior leaders, and was often used as a dramatic declaration of war.
