After the Great War, not long after Jechran was formed, a small tribe of Tyeduans migrated south across the mountains above Galdos, settling in northwest Jechran. They brought with them the worship of their spirit-god, Brakbraak. Brakbraak was a bird spirit; the tribe had originally worshipped penguins and other northern birds. None of those species existed in Jechran, so the tribe soon latched onto the Red Jechran Junglefowl. The tribe was the first to domesticate these birds, not for food but for cockfighting.
As the tribe slowly began to integrate into Jechranian society, they in turn influenced Jechranians by introducing cockfighting to them. Many warrior maidens identified with the breeding and training of the roosters (and in some cases, hens) for battle. Cockfighting spread across the nation, and with it spread the worship of Brakbraak, as trainers would pray to him for good breeding and training as well as victory in cockfighting matches.
Chickens were eventually exported from southern Jechran to the wider world, where they began to be raised for food instead of sport. Due to backlash from foreign visitors, who considered the sport to be barbaric, cockfighting became controversial, and many villages in southern Jechran stopped the practice altogether. Cockfighting is still popular in northern Jechran, however, and Brakbraak is still worshipped in this region, making him a demigod of chickens and other fowl.
