Yojka Yataghans
Headquarters: Lut Nationality: Yojka Specialty: Football Team Storefront: none

The Yojka Yataghans, named after the traditional yataghan sword wielded by the Mzi settlers of Yojka, are the national football team that competes in the Zanziik Republic Football League. The ZRFL is currently made up of four cut-throat teams which compete for the much-sought-after ZRFL Trophy, a shiny silver thing. The team that finishes last, however, is awarded the Wooden Spoon.

The Yataghans claim that they play "for the Spoon." Feel free to draw your own conclusions.

Coaches

Maruk Zingor, head coach of the Yataghans since their conception, is a short, middle-aged fellow with a bad temper and even worse language. He is described as a cut-throat and a cruel taskmaster, often forcing his team to practice in the mountains.

"The mountain air is good, thin," he has been quoted as saying. "You need more of it to go further, not so much oxygen. You learn to play in the mountains, you play awesome on the ground."

Be that as it may, the Yataghans have lost several excellent players who were just not willing to play in the rocking, unforgiving soil of the mountains. Those who stayed, however, have shown a remarkable increase in endurance. But why so many losses, then?

"I like Spoons, especially the wooden kind," Zingor said, when cornered. "I've already got four, and I want a fifth."
