Moko Toa

Moko Toa enhance their martial prowess using the supernatural power of vali mako, an ancient practice of marking the warrior's own body with symbols representing the forces of nature around them. Moko Toa can be found among the Kanaka Honu, the Tortle peoples that populate the tropical islands off the coast of Zakhara, South of Faerun. The sacred art is integral to their warrior training, and earning the honor of marking yourself is the reason most Kanaka Honu can be found so far away from their island homes.
