Description: The Fallen Caesars are often times described by Equestrian visitors as the praetorians of the Caesar, though the reality is much difference. While the Fallen Caesars are often in the presence of the Caesar’s court and have a significant presence there, they are not there as the strong arm of the Caesar’s law and have independently served as an actor in Zebra politics for a very long time. More accurately speaking, they are the cult of time and historical memory specializing in contact with ancestor spirits of whatever locality they are in. This is the general outline of the Zenai Cult, whose demesne is the sweeping range of history and ancestral tradition once the spirits have passed to the great beyond.
 
The cult is also symbolically the home of deposed or retired Caesars who stepped down in their rule under grace or were violently deposed and forced into retirement with titles stripped. In this, they are the praetorian of the ex-caesar, protecting them and inviting them among their ranks, if as a monk-ish acolyte.
 
As protectors of history the Zenai Cult is spread between cliques involving the use of ritual, oral knowledge, written knowledge, and so on. Martial techniques are involved and interlocking with the cult’s other sects they preserve and pass on the desperate hoof-to-hoof fighting styles that have been practiced by the zebras. The synthesis of which is the eponymous Fallen Caesar Style, easily regarded as one of the most devastating techniques in the Zebra canon, which the order guards with near-jealousy, even if at times it leaks out. Though while a true master is said to split the densest of stone with a precise hoof blow, the acolytes that often go out to battle are not those masters but are not powerless.
