The Arkit, the Children of the Sky, were formerly the richest and most prestigious of the tribes in the Khuzait homelands, of which Urkhun and his followers were at first merely a humble offshoot. They followed the Khuzait hordes to the west but are not happy about living in the shadow of a less ancient lineage. Their patriarch, the noyan Monchug, models himself on Tulag but is somewhat less competent.
