Tiro'fal Sept

The Tiro'fal is a relatively small, elite sept of fire warriors. First settled during the Second Phase Expansion (018.M39- ~700.M41), the sept pushed the borders of the Tau Empire, settling near the territory of the Kroot worlds. The sept came under attack in late M41 and was declared under quarantine by the Ethereal Caste while the sept's Fire Warriors led a valiant defence of the other castes' escape.

Sept Symbol
The Symbol of the Tiro'fal sept is that of a small orb at the lowest most point of the sept circle. this is "protected" by a chevron, which lies at the approximate middle of the Sept circle.

Sept Colours
Much like their unorthodox nature in combat, the Fire Warriors of the Tiro'fal Sept enter battle and ceremony resplendent in bright, rust coloured uniforms, an eye catching sight both as a point of pride for the Sept's citizenry, and the perfect lure, to drag the Empire's more gullible enemies into carefully laid ambushes and traps.

The colours that mark out members of this sept are of a sparkling silver, a rare material found in remarkable abundance in the Tiro'fal Sept system. This chosen colour stands out noticeably against the contrasting armour plates, aiding noticeability as it glints off of the local sun, further assisting their chosen application of the Kauyon tactics.

"It is often the unseen hand which is the most dangerous."

- O'Seroshal, offering praise on his Sept's use of Kauyon ambush tactics

"Indeed, the Fire Cast itself is the unseen hand, held back as a closed fist to deliver the Mont'ka, while those of the water cast are extended forward, in the Gue'vesa handshake, a symbol of offered peace and friendship."

- O'Seroshal, offering reason behind the sept's unorthodox nature

A long experienced commander in the sept, Shas'O Tiro'fal Seroshal Kais Mont'yr is an expert in the unorthodox method of combat he and his Fire Warriors have come to display in battle,
