The brief existence of the Tashnacate completely rearranged the political landscape of central Crona. Its conquest of the North Songun civilization, and vacuum that formed after its collapse, led to both the zenith of Varshan's power in the {{wp|early modern period}} as well as political fragmentation necessary to accomodate the first [[Occidental]] colonies decades after [[Aster's expedition]]. It also left a defining cultural impact on Earplanne, becoming the ideal for generations of succeeding nomads and nomadic polities. Most of the political and cultural systems employed by the Tashnacate would become the expected norm in Earplanne until the nomads were finally subdued by Occidental colonists many centuries later. | The brief existence of the Tashnacate completely rearranged the political landscape of central Crona.

The term ''Matokté'' in the languages of the Earplanne generally means "bear hunter", and it referred to the specific tribal groups who established the empire. Its origin is not known but the term appears to have been used in some [[North Songun civilization]] records to refer to a group of nomads as early as the 10th century. | The term ''Matokté'' in the languages of the Earplanne generally means "bear hunter", and it referred to the specific tribal groups who established the empire. Its origin is not known but the term appears to have been used in some [[North Songun civilization]] records to refer to a specific group of nomads as early as the 10th century. The indigenous name of the polity translates as ''Great Matokté''. The term "Matokté Tashnacate" (a tashnacate being a state ruled by a "horse chief") is commonly used both in vernacular and scholarly applications. Though it is an {{wp|exonym}}, the name is a reasonable approximation of the name used for the polity by the North Songun civilization and other contemporaries. | ||

The day-to-day administration of the Tashnacate was largely done by subordinates of the Načá, who ruled over geographic areas, collected taxes and tribute, and maintained a certain number of warriors. The subtashnacans (an Occidental term) were initially the most prominent type. These were realms created by Falling Sword and given to those sons which agreed to forego claiming the role of Načá in the proving, an agreement which nominally included all of their descendants. The subtashnacans, once large ranges from which Falling Sword's sons ruled, were gradually divided in subsequent generations, losing prominence by [[1400]] as they more closely resembled feudal constellations of allegiance. The more important and initially secondary subordinates were those of the allies. These were tribes which allied to Falling Sword or the Matokté upon establishment of the Tashnacate as well as those which readily submitted during his initial conquests. In addition to their traditional lands, allies were given control of most of the lands of their enemies. Increasingly, they were also allowed to take control of lands from disloyal subtashnacans, as the Načá preferred their rule to that of a disloyal dynasty member. Over time, the allied tribes became the most powerful subordinates of the Tashnacate, especially as the cities and farms of the [[North Songun civilization]] were conquered and awarded to allies rather than dynasty members. Upon the collapse of the Tashnacate, most of the allied subordinates continued to rule their allotted lands under successor tashnacates, often with Matokté dynasts as nominal Načás. | The day-to-day administration of the Tashnacate was largely done by subordinates of the Načá, who ruled over geographic areas, collected taxes and tribute, and maintained a certain number of warriors.
