Ahu Alaktu is a form of hand-to-hand combat practiced by the szal-Attalu tribe of the Mašnsih. While the origins of the way are unknown, it is theorised that was developed by former slaves from the Xiaken, that arrived to the szal-Attalu ports thanks to the trading relations between the Mašnsih and Rahen.
During close-quarters combat, an individual adept at the Ahu Alaktu was able to maneuver around and strike an opponent at unimaginable speeds. The warriors who practice this technique are called Ahušessu, the Weird Blades, and were a recognized part of the early Jaddari army with the purpose of engaging enemy champions in single combat. It is said that Jaddar was the only one outside of the tribe that learned the Ahu Alaktu, and it was this power that allowed the Herald to defeat the Packlord Zokka.
Some of the movements of the way were incorporated to the Deioderan by the elves who lived close to the szal-Attalu.
