Welcome
We are the Nhurakai
You were never made for stillness. Something in you snarls against silence, demands motion, seeks the vow that burns as much as it binds. The Nhurakai do not follow the Flame — they wrestle it into shape. They are oathbound, claw-marked, loyal to fire not for comfort but because it hurts to forget.
If you’ve ever felt rage as devotion, this is your Circle.
“What we swear, we burn for.”

Sacred Sigil Use
Basic Sigil (Body Mark)
The Basic Sigil of the Nhurakai is worn where the flame first touched the vow. Designed to resemble a clawed flame or braided fang, it marks the bearer as bound — not by force, but by choice. Common placements include the forearm, dominant hand, or upper chest. It is often burned, inked, or scarred into flesh as a visible reminder: you swore, and the flame remembers.
Advanced Sigil (Crest of Oath)
The Advanced Sigil is a ceremonial crest used in sacred rites, trials, or pack gatherings. It features layered flame geometry interwoven with fang-like marks and bloodlines of past oaths. Often carved into armor, cloakbacks, or ritual weapons, it is less a symbol of pride than of burden. It carries the memory of every vow that was kept — and the shame of those that were not.
Ritual Description
The Flame Palm Vow
In silence, each Nhurakai places their bare palm over burning coals, whispering their deepest oath into the flame. The heat scars a memory — not to prove strength, but to make sure the vow cannot be taken back. Each time it’s renewed, the mark deepens. Some wear it proudly. Others keep it hidden under wraps and shame. The fire does not care. Only the vow matters.

Codex Law of the Circle
“You are what you walk beside.”
(To walk with fire is to bind your identity to action. Rage without loyalty is just destruction.)
