Schulmania & The Klingon Empire: Warriors United for Honor

A Long-Standing Relationship

Schulmania has had a longstanding relationship with the Klingon Empire. This relationship began long ago with a chance encounter of a hunting expedition led by the Supreme Wirdle with a big game hunting party led by Kahless the Unforgettable. The two groups swapped hunting stories and impressed one another with their hunting skills on the plains of South Wirdleonia before the area was developed. Kahless was so impressed with the Supreme Wirdle's prowess with claws that he modeled the original bat'leth on the curvature of her claws.

The bat'leth (or, "sword of honor") is the best known Klingon weapon and serves as a reminder of the mutual regard between the Klingon Empire  and the feline government of Schulmania.

Upon its introduction to general Klingon society, the Supreme Wirdle was invited to the Klingon capital as a guest on honor.

Since this momentous occasion, one new and permanent connection has been established between the two realms. This one has been also under the radar for Schulmania, but of great importance to the Klingons, who have not forgotten Kahless' admiration of the Supreme Wirdle's warrior ways.

So, what is this connection between the felines and the warriors of the Klingon Empire? It all has to do with one of the Klingon core beliefs. The Way of the Warrior, the lifestyle and culture popularized by Kahless, honor is valued above all else. And, when the honored dead leave this world they go to Stovokor, the eternal realm of the honored Klingons. The dishonored ones are sent on the Barge of the Dead to Grethor. So, it is certainly preferable to go to Stovokor. As the Supreme Wirdle got to know the Klingons, she offered to reserve a remote spot to serve as the physical location for Stovokor. And she would reserve the privacy of the place by limiting settlement in the area.

The honored dead arrive here. And, if a dishonored Klingon arrives, they are sent out on the Barge of the Dead. The Great Hall of Kahless is there for the warriors to meet and eat and drink.

The Great Hall is where the warriors go for merriment at the end of the day. What do they do all day? Fight each other in glorious battles.

Follow the Way of the Warrior to the

Sanctuary of Kahless.

And here lies the Mausoleum of Kahless, a shrine of great significance to Klingons everywhere.

The Government of Schulmania considers it a very high honor to provide this very important cultural site to the Klingon Empire. From the invention of the batleth to the founding of Stovokor, Schulmania and the Klingon Empire have woven together a strong and vital link, one that enriches both nations and makes the galaxy a richer place.
