During the Night of Wailing, when Cordell's Golden Legion broke down the walls of Nexal, the capital city of the Nexalan Empire that ruled most of Maztica, with intent to slaughter as many of its inhabitants as possible, the patron god of Nexal, Zaltec, blessed its citizens with the strength of orcs, and its Jaguar Knight protectors with the strength of ogres. The greatest of its warriors, who wore not the pelt of a jaguar but of a kamatlan, were given the greatest portion of his strength. Much of a jagre's power lies in its kamatlan pelt, which becomes one with them while they are in their kamatlan form. A jagre whose pelt is stolen is not only humiliated, but loses its ability to shapechange. Many jagre undergo a ritual to have their pelt fused to their skin permanently so that it can never be stolen, but this is considered nearly as shameful as having it stolen, as it implies that they expect to have it stolen, or worse that they expect to lose an upcoming battle. |
