Prologue
Far west of the land of Hyrule stood a vast desert. The desert had hundreds of inhabitants: men, women, and children alike. These inhabitants called themselves the Gerudo. The Gerudo were a friendly race, happy to show tourists from close countries their lifestyle.
The typical Gerudo had dark skin, bright red hair, and green or brown eyes. They worshipped the Goddess of Sand. Gerudos would frequently visit her temple, the Spirit Temple, to worship her. However, one day, there was a merciless sandstorm that swept across the entire fortress, killing all the cattle and even lots of Gerudos. The king of the desert was outraged that their beloved goddess would let such a thing happen and not protect them. So under the king's command, the Gerudo stopped worshipping her. They believed that perhaps she didn't even exist.
Then one fateful night, the Goddess of Sand came to the Gerudo king in a dream. She said, "How dare you forbid your people to believe in me. After I saw the sandstorm occur, I was just about to help the Gerudo people and make things better for them, but now that you have angered me I will do just the opposite. I shall curse your people for all of eternity! As of tomorrow morning, there will be only one male Gerudo born once in every century, and that male will be the king. When there is no king, then the strongest woman of the Gerudo will lead the tribe until the next male is born. Women will have to reproduce with men of other cultures, such as the Sheikahs and Hylians, meaning chances are the Gerudo race will eventually die out. This is the curse I will place upon your people for disbelieving in me, the very goddess who created them and gave them life! Your people shall suffer for many centuries to come, and there is no reversing it."
The curse indeed came true. Women began giving birth to only females, and as male Gerudos began to die out, mostly females dominated the desert.
The king grew old and very ill, and he was in fact the last male left for a century to come. On his deathbed, the king told his wife, "I have damned our people for all of eternity. If we want our culture to thrive for future generations, we must turn the Gerudo race into the most powerful race in the world. Train every woman in the ways of combat starting at the age of eight, and rank the women judging by their skills. Purple will be the women who guard the fortress, Reds will guard the prisoners and be prepared to fight anyone who who tries to break out or if someone tries to break the prisoners out, Greens and Blues will be soldiers and also sent out to run errands in Hyrule and perform dangerous tasks in the wasteland, and lastly, the Whites will command and lead the army. Purple will be the lowest rank, Red the second lowest, Green will be the third lowest, Blue will be slightly higher ranked than Green and they shall perform the most dangerous tasks, and Whites will be the Elite Gerudos. Promotions and demotions shall be allowed. When there is no king, the woman in command must be at least sixteen years of age and be the elite of the elite. That woman shall rule until our next male is born, who will then be the king. The process shall repeat throughout the centuries. If we can become the strongest race in Hyrule, we can make alliances and trade agreements with other races. Everyone will want us on their side. Only then can we be certain that our culture will thrive."
The king soon passed away and then the wait of a male Gerudo began.
