Though no longer recognized by the Manwin of Eastrun, the concept of tukha is still very much a part of Daizu and Hayao thinking. It is true that the tribes of these barbarous peoples are ruled by their chieftains (wang and kancho, respectively) but they are not the only ones in a tribe with power or influence. In fact, there often arise certain inspired, if only temporarily so, leaders who might eclipse the chieftain.
These men (shunzhang liang and kaizoku daiyu) are said to possess the tukha of one or more of the Four Winds. There is always a portent attached to gaining the tukha so that their favor can be recognized by the least sophisticated and most cynical alike.
Those blessed with the tukha might only hold it for a single raid or war party. They might hold it for an entire campaign. Generally, they are recognized until the action they promised is complete, or until they die, or until something as equally portentous befalls them. It is well known that the tukha can be withdrawn if the possessor is not bold or audacious enough with it.
