====== EA Machaka, Lion Kings ======
===== Lore =====
//"The Machaka of the early age is influenced by the old pen and paper RPG Powers and Perils. In the
fantastic campaign setting of this game there was a nation of African stock led by great men that were
released from a great sleeping city. The notion of a released race of superior men was attractive.
Various myths, tales, films and "African" fantasy concepts have been mashed together and mixed with
the middle age Machaka ideas. My first idea of clans based on body parts like liver, heart, hand, head
and leg, did not feel right and was replaced with animals, more fitting with the spiders of the middle age.//
//The nation evolved side by side with Berytos, but it took a bit longer to finish. Creating two nations
together and intertwining their history gave them both additional life. It is probably something I want to
do with more new nations in the future."// - Illwinter
Machaka is an old sacral kingdom divided into totemic clans. The clans follow their totemic spirits and worship them as bringers of civilization and tell myths about their interactions with men. For centuries the Lion Clan has dominated the others and formed a unified kingdom under their wise rule. The Lion Clan is blessed by Lion and they are superior to other men. The Great Men of Mababwe, called ’Colossi’ by Arcoscephalean historians, have ruled the plains since Hyena was coerced to teach metalworking to men and Rhino was defeated by spears longer than his. From Great Mababwe, the semi-divine Colossi of the Lion Clan rule their lesser kin as sacred Kings and Queens. There are many totemic clans, but some have been more influential. Hyena, Rhino, Elephant and Spider all serve Lion with their totemic masters’ skills and guidance. Recent contact with Berytos and other nations has seen the rise of ambition among the Colossi royalty and the Lion Kings are preparing for the Awakening of Lion. Machakans prefer hot lands.

=====Magic Access=====
//See [[Magic Access]].// These guides supplement the summaries at the top.
=== Fire ===
??Lion Queen??, with {{path>F3}}, is the highest reliable recruitable mage. Any of the {{path>F1D1}} mages can create a ??Skull of Fire??.
=== Air ===
**No native access.** {{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? cast in Cold has 1 in 2 chance of {{path>A1}}. Cast in other than Cold, 1 in 3 chance.
=== Water ===
**No native access.** {{path>D2N5}} to ??Contact Lamia Queen?? for a 7 in 16 chance of {{path>W1}}.
{{path>D3}} can cast ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of at least {{path>W1}}.
{{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? cast in Cold gives {{path>W3}}. Cast in other than Cold gives a 1 in 3 chance of {{path>W1}}.
=== Earth ===
{{path>E3}} ??Bouda?? (1 in 3) is the most reliable recruitable mage for {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth. Giving ??Earth Boots?? to a ??Lion Queen?? will allow it to attempt to create the unique ??The Tome of Gaia??. Even with it, one level of empowerment is necessary to get to ??King of Elemental Earth??. Without it, even getting to {{path>E5}} and a ??King of Elemental Earth?? is not that helpful because the King can't wear the ??Earth Boots?? and so can't get to {{path>E6}}.
=== Astral ===
**No native access.** {{path>E3D1}} casts ??Hidden in Sand?? and ??Hidden Underneath??, which both have ~3 in 4 chance of at least {{path>S1}}.
{{path>D3}} can cast ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of at least {{path>S1}}.
=== Death ===
{{path>D3}} ??Bouda?? (1 in 3), will need both a ??Skull Staff?? and a level of empowerment to reach {{path>D5}}, the next major step up {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death.
EA Machaka can make ??The Silver Arms??, which is useful for {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death's multiple two-handed boosters.
=== Nature ===
??Lion King?? has {{path>N3}}. With ??Earth Boots??, he can make the unique ??The Tome of Gaia??. Without ??The Tome of Gaia?? a level of empowerment is needed to get to a ??Treelord's Staff?? at {{path>N5}}.
EA Machaka can make ??The Copper Arm?? and ??The Silver Arms??, which are useful for {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature's multiple hand held boosters.
=== Glamour ===
??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? has a ~1 in 5 chance of {{path>G2}} and ~1 in 25 chance of {{path>G3}}. {{path>G3}} is necessary for the first booster, ??Gossamer Veil??.
The next booster, a ??Mirage Crystal?? requires {{path>E2G3}}. The {{path>E2}} is simple, just give ??Earth Boots??, crafted by a ??Bouda??, to a ??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? with an {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth path (~1 in 5). But, getting that same sorcerer to {{path>G3}} is tricky. Only ~1 in 25 ??Spider Clan Sorcerer??s have {{path>G2E1}}. Empowerment may be necessary.
Once the ??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? is at {{path>G4}}, with a {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire booster, it can attempt to craft the unique ??The Sword of Many Colors??.
=== Blood ===
**No native access.** {{path>N5}} can cast ??Awaken Treelord?? for a 1 in 4 stationary {{path>B1}}.
{{path>D2N5}} to ??Contact Lamia Queen?? for a 7 in 16 chance of {{path>B1}}.
