When you greet a Tulaxxian Warrior, he doesn't say "hello" or "how are you?" He asks: "What do you want?" Perhaps as much as anything else, this illustrates the bluntness - but also the open-handed honesty that pervades Tulaxxian culture and tradition.
With diplomatic relations gradually being restored, visitors have begun to return to Vi`Kamu, drawn by a sense of adventure and a
desire to experience Tulaxxian culture firsthand. After all, no civilization in known space boasts a prouder or more colorful tradition.
And nowhere is it more colorful than in Tul, the capitol city of Vi`Kamu, home of the Tulaxxian High Council. Unfortunately, few offworlders have ever seen the Great Hall where the council meets, and even fewer have survived the experience.
Visitors should ask about the street festivals which re-enact key episodes in the life of Kahless the Unforgettable -the warrior
who introduced Tulaxxians to the concept of honor. One of the best known festivals is the Kot`baval, which commemorates the
epic battle between Kahless and Kythmul the Unbearable who first united his people together by opposing the Sith who were trying to overtake their homeworld.
Regardless of where you may go in the Republic, one bit of advice always applies: if you challenge a Tulaxxian in any way, shape, or form, you will be called upon to defend yourself - sometimes in a fight to the death.
** Hem- litterally "to be proud" - is the finest example of Tulaxxian opera house architecture on the planet. Every third night it
presents Aktuh and Melota, the most beloved Tulaxxian opera of the last hundred years.
** Quin`lat birthplace of the Tulaxxian poet G`trok, is surrounded by fields full of night-blooming Throgi, the most fragrant of Tulaxxian flowers. It's also notable as the site of a fable in which a foolish man tries to stand up against a powerful win.
** SuQ, which ironically means "toxic", is one of the most popular eateries in Tul. The food is only adequate, but the bloodwine flows freely and so do the tales of war and vengence. It's also one of the few places where you can get racht, a larger form of serpent worms.
**Gre`thor (the Tulaxxian equivalent of "hell") is genteel by Tulaxxian standars and caters largly to offworld merchants.
Located on the outskirts of Tul, it specializes in such dishes as rokeg blood pie, pipius claw, and zilm`kack (a segmented orange foodstuff), which are considered most palatable to non-Tulaxxians.
