	Named after the [[~~Th’akh~~\|Th’akh Spirit-God Archozmi]], Arch’ozal prides itself as being keeper and distributor of knowledge. Having sided with the Queendom since its inception, it has become a place of great academic advancements – at least in terms of the Wasteland. Prior to the Contact War, Arch’ozal was the centre of academia within Moghes’ eastern hemisphere; with Clan Ghzakal reigning over it. The destruction brought on by the nuclear war, and the lack of means to sustain itself, Clan Ghzakal fled from the city – leaving it and its populace having to fend for themselves. It was only after the radioactive ashes began to set that Lazak sent emissaries towards the city, eventually persuading them to follow her custom doctrines. She appointed her daughter, Tzansa Szek-Hakh, as Lady-Regent until another with a rightful claim to Arch’ozal returned. It is majority Sk’akh, however, the population of Th’akh has slowly been growing over the years.

On the outskirts of the realm’s eastern border, many displaced unathi fleeing west arrive greeted by the rapidly growing city, which only decades before had a population of less than two-hundred. Though the Contact War has made it difficult to expand fast enough to accommodate those fleeing the Wasteland, Gzusz still maintains great importance to the Szekziran, acting as a “buffer” between the Gawgaryn and Reclaimers and the interior of the Queendom. The majority of the newly arrived are inducted into the city’s guards, fighting off those that wish to question the Queendom’s ability to protect itself and its people. The influx of refugees means that Gzusz is rarely without round-the-clock protection. It is officially split between Sk’akh and Th’akh, though a growing undercurrent of Si’akh is evident.

	The majority of the Queendom subscribes to [[Th'akh\|Th'akh]], with Yu’kal containing within it a massive temple – easily compared to a cathedral – expressly giving homage to the realm’s alignment to the religion, constructed by Szekzir Lazak following the [[Unathi History\|Contact War]]. Despite the realm’s majority-Th’akh following populace, Lazak has granted asylum to many journeying across the Wasteland regardless of which faith they subscribe to, and until recently even allowed [[Si'akh\|Si'akh]] within her realm. After swearing fealty to the Izweski and joining the Karszekani, Lazak agreed to publicly denounce the religion. Those who choose to follow it are officially barred from her realm, yet an open secret of the Queen’s court is that she allows its adherents travelling through the Wasteland to reside within her borders – to varying degrees of permanence. While Si’akh is officially suppressed, it has nonetheless found fertile soil for its beliefs in the Szekziran. A significant number of Taa’an equate the cleansing and purification of Si’akh with their own beliefs of healing primarily through excision and debridement, and the Queen’s official denouncement, while arguably necessary, has become a catalyst for discontent and disagreement in an otherwise unified community.

	Unfortunately, shouldering the burden of both warrior and healer can become overwhelming. In the field, Taa’an often experience a doubling of expectations; for example, they may be expected to charge the enemy one minute and then triage the wounded the next with no rest until duty is done. The continued exposure to adrenaline, trauma, and suffering in the majority of aspects of their role leads to a condition similar to what humans call “compassion fatigue”. As time goes by Taa’an become unwilling or unable to connect empathically with others. They become irritable and isolate socially as much as they are able and their duty allows. This can sometimes lead to a mental break or crisis, but over time the culturally accepted answer has become silent endurance. Known in the Queendom as “Honed Soul”, this isolating coping strategy is seen as strength of character and actively encouraged. So long as they don’t suffer a nervous breakdown, the longer one serves as Taa’an the more normalized this state of mind becomes. Exemplars often exhibit this as extreme vigilance and a cool detachment from their subordinates. They are “always on”, ready to move to action, either to attack or administer aid, but unable to express negative emotions or find regular catharsis. As elected positions are often chosen from veteran Taa’an ranks this affect can impact their relations with visitors and dignitaries. The result is a perception of the Queendom in general, and Taa’an specifically, of cold, calculating, and ruthless enigmas who stand outside of normal [[Unathi#Unathi_Culture\|unathi culture]].
