Overview
Flower-Feather Clan, or Tlalocan, is one of the six tribes in Natlan. Members of this tribe bond well to the Qucusaurus, and many able-bodied tribespeople join the Qucusaur Riders, as an active or reserve member. Regardless of position, they must pass a very tough entrance exam, which involves being a proficient warrior and being able to ride a qucusaur, requiring the applicant to be able to gain their trust. The most common cause of failure is being unable to obtain the qucusaur's trust, as it is said that without full control, both the rider and qucusaur would be seriously harmed or killed. Those who are unable to pass it are called "Wingless," and must reject their Saurian companion for their own safety. It is difficult to live in the tribe as a "Wingless," and many will make repeated attempts to pass the Rider Exams or leave to seek employment with other tribes. Some, like Allpa, eventually succeed in passing the exams. Others, such as Pixica, stay because they manage to find other meaningful work within the tribe.
At some point in the past, the Flower-Feather Clan was responsible for patrolling and defending all of Natlan. Many Qucusaur riders still feel a sense of pride about this to this day. Nowadays, the riders prioritize their own territory, but they also patrol the ruins of Ochkanatlan. Sometime after the fall of Ochkanatlan, they instated a blockade to prevent any travelers from entering it (presumably for their own safety).
Most people from other tribes will usually not talk to lone members of the clan. If said member begins whistling, it is implied that something is off in the vicinity.
