Tlashtalikala wrote:The Siliqi-Khan is found! Let the people rejoice! Let our enemies tremble! His Celestial Wrathfulness, our rightful Siliqi-Khan, Wawa-tlingutlazazaza has been found! Agents of the Regency Council, chaired by the Grand Boggha of Otlanoshikumaza, Zitl-wapukapuki (our glorious Siliqi-Khan's second cousin twice removed) have discovered him in the mountainous and cavernous north-western territories. Let all the people rejoice, for the new Siliqi-Khan has declared his desire to build a new Throne of Enemy Bone and to restore the Siliqi-Khanatal regalia.
In celebration of his accession, seven weeks of gladiatorial combat have been organised. This will both entertain the loyal AtaTlashtalikalapino and provide the necessary raw material for the reconstruction of the throne. At the culmination, a traditional AtuTlashtalikalapik enthronement will be conducted, wherein Zitl-wapukapuki will formally crown warlike Wawa-tlingutlazazaza. Our new Siliqi-Khan has announced that the long abandoned Shlatlashok Ashashashki ritual - wherein 8000 pigeons are ritually executed by garrote, to punish their species for their espionage - will be re-instated, as His Glorious Malignance belongs to the pigeon-hater cult of the War-god. A band of 280 pigeon-catchers were ritually consecrated this morning in New Alapalaki City to enable them to legally gather the required live pigeons.
Long may Wawa-tlingutlazazaza trample the skulls of his enemies!
Why 'execute' pigeons? It is hoped that such valuable meat is not wasted, but eaten, for the starving are an oceanic multitude, and resources scarce. Do not trample on skulls, for that is disrespectful to the spirits of the dead.
