Tsǫt'aan Xanaaq̇ut (born Xanaaq̇ut 7 Magnus 1517) is the founder and current ruler of the Third Dze Confederation, the largest nation in northern Pythia to exist in the last years. Having spent most of his latter years fighting human invader states, he has been at the command of several military campaigns over the last 30 years.

Born the first child of Tłq̇uł̣eew, T'aan of Alẋtśaq people, on the 7th of Magnus 1517, Xanaaq̇ut would have to step into the role of leader soon into his life, his father dying in a battle against the Thuhaq when he was 16, however managing to expell the invaders and allow for the first years of his reign as T'aan to remain peaceful. By 1580 however the Thuhaq Kingdom had renewed its efforts to expand northwards and launched a suprise assault in 1583 at the 1st Battle of Alẋtśaq in where Dze camps were burned as the warriors were away. This event began Xanaaq̇ut's plans to unify all of the tribes of the Dze and human peoples allied to them, which by 1598 he completed after a series of diplomatic moves and maneuvers in where he was proclaimed Tsǫt'aan of all Dze in a Great Meeting in the Leaf Lance Valley, the first Tsǫt'aan in over 2,500 years.

Afterwards he would turn his sights on reconquering all of the lands that once belonged to the Dze, the subsequent campaigns between 1598 and 1613 would devastate human populations in the south and east, with several kingdoms and polities who opposed him destroyed. The Thuhaq Kingdom fell by 1599, its people displaced and entire cities barren and turned to pastures, and most human resistance in the Hammerfell Peninsula collapsed by 1602. For the following decade he would instill a defensive policy as he prepared a grand offensive by 1612 in where he, in the span of little more than a year, would reconquer all lands inside the Dze's homeland

Names and titles

Tsǫt'aan

Tsǫt'aan, meaning "Great Leader", is an honorific title that was bestowed upon him by his people in 1598, the title having been used by the rulers of the other two confederations prior to his.

Xanaaq̇ut

His birth name, bestowed upon him at the age of 5, is said to have been due to a lightning storm in where he, according to the Writings of Tłq̇uł̣eew, had walked outside his tent and faced the storm as a bolt struck besides him and he remained unphased.
