Kyalmúkû (concept)
The Kyalmúkû or Godhunt, is a ritual conducted by the Kyaali where they go forth to Kyaal to hunt one of the Kyaldzàkáxi and bring back its skin to wear. As a rule, only the strongest Kyaali participate in the Kyalmúkû due to the dangerous nature of their quarries as well as their hunting grounds. The Kyalmúkû ends with a ritual wearing of the skin by the hunter, with success only being attained if the hunter survives the skin-changing ceremony. Those who do so are revered by the Kyaali, believing that it is Kyaal's acknowledgement of the hunter's worth and power.
