Ytepka Society

The Triceratops Society (or Ytepka Society, pronounced: /jɛˈtɛpkɑː/ yeh-TEP-kah[1] or: /iˈtɛppkɑː/ ee-TEPP-kah, Chultan for "triceratops") was a secret society dedicated to the protection of Chult from foreigners.

Organization

There are 99 degrees of membership in the society. The oldest Tabaxi are of the highest degree and lead the group. It is rumored that one of the Barae heads the society, but there is no evidence to support this claim.

Activities

The Ytepka carefully monitors all happenings in Chult. Their task is to ensure that the natural and social order of Chult is not upset. If the Society notices a potential problem, they will leave an iron triceratops figurine at the home or abode of the individual about to commit the wrong. If the marked person ignores the symbolic warning, the Triceratops Society would take punitive action. This punishment is most often a fine of some sort, but physical punishment or even death might also be enacted if the crime were severe enough.

Members

The group consists mainly of warriors. Two or three members are likely to be found in every port and village around the country, and they maintain an efficient communication network with each other.
