The Durkhas or Dorkhas (Mahanan: गोर्खा | Dōrkhā-), are soldiers native to Mahana renowned for their fighting prowess. The Durkha units are composed of Mahanans and are recruited for several militaries around the world; The Mahanan Military, the Mekabirian army, the Namdatkan army, the Delamarian Army and the Rhodellian army as well as being deployed for AN peacekeeping forces and in war zones around the wurld. Historically, the term 'Durkha' and 'Dorkha' originate from the western regions of Mahana from the Khaddic Empire where the family of 'Durkarie' were hugely important advisors to the emperor. The Durkhas were initially a group of highly skilled and practiced mercenaries and warrior monks that were hired by the Durkarie to protect them, giving them the name the 'Durkhas' or 'Dorkhas'. The name itself means ('Holy Protectors' or 'Pavitra Durkhā'). The Durkha military units are deployed around the world, notably in the Mekabirian army, the Mahanan army itself and the Namdatkan army. They are also deployed as part of the AN peacekeeping forces. The Durkha military are always associated with their indispensable 'Kuhkiri', a traditional forward curving Mahanan blade. When describing the Durkha, Namdatkan Army Chief of Staff Field Marshall Palmo Jigme stated; "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or he is a Durkha." (See more...)
