Jaguar Tribe - Recent HistoryÂ
The earliest relevant event is when Rikke defeated Ihz in combat and took over the tribe as the new Nunh. This occurred seven years before Amra was born, and I'll be using his age as a baseline for the sequence of events. Amra is 22 years of age.Â
As a member of the Rahzarr Kahl, Y'rikke Tia was inducted at the mere age of thirteen. Younger than most, but his exceptional combat skills set him apart from his peers. His fellow Tia, Y'ashake and Y'tyaka, were not offered a place in the RK. Not at first. During the initial trial amongst the three Tia, Tyaka was bested early, leaving Rikke and Ashake to vie for the right to challenge Ihz. The result of their match ended in a draw, though the bout was proof enough for Ashake to earn himself a spot in the Rahzarr Kahl, despite never quite achieving the same level of authority Rikke did. Rikke quickly established himself in the Rahzarr Kahl, and within the first ten years of his time as a hunter, he had adopted the role of unofficial leader. He was in prime position to take over as Nunh. At 20 years of age, Rikke bested both his fellow Tia in combat and challenged the Nunh, winning the bout.
He bore a few daughters during his seven-year reign as Nunh, and also fathered two sons. Kihba and Amra. During this period, the tribe saw a time of growth, their numbers swelling from 24 to 29 in that time, and the Rahzarr Kahl, while already established as a prime hunting unit in greater La Noscea, achieved official recognition by Lominsan society as Hunters of Notorious Monsters and other threats to the land.
Ashake, still in the Rahzarr Kahl at this point, ended up challenging Tyaka, and then Rikke to combat, and won the ensuing fight. His rise to Nunh-hood saw him leave as a member of the Rahzarr Kahl. Rikke, despite his defeat, maintained his authority as Chief, and to this day is still considered one of the greatest hunters the Rahzarr Kahl has ever seen. At the time when Ashake took over as Nunh, Ndelika was pregnant with Amra, making him Rikke's last-born child.
Ashake's time as Nunh has lasted for the past 22 years, and the tribe continues to grow and thrive. He had many daughters, and offered refuge to those few Miqo'te outsiders they found as well. Ashake recently fathered his first son, 2 year old Y'tahl Tia.Â
Over the course of those 22 years, the Jaguar Tribe was not without struggle. They were not the only tribe to inhabit La Noscea. An splinter N tribe settled close enough that they were considered a threat, and the I tribe, while small, presented both problems and help.Â
When Rikke first met with N'undai Nunh many years ago, before Ashake bested him, to say their meeting did not go well would be an understatement. To be fair, it was doomed regardless. The meeting was brought about because Rikke had taken not one, but two N tribe females into his bed.Â
At the same time.Â
Undai was not pleased, and demanded compensation for this betrayal. There were numerous offers, from the disbanding of the Rahzarr Kahl, to the stepping down of Rikke as Nunh, to having two Y Tribe females sent to the N tribe. All of these were denied, and the two tribes have been on sour terms ever since. Several times, the current generation Tia on both sides have engaged in non-fatal, but violent clashes.Â
The I tribe, on the other hand, are much more pleasant company. Unlike the Y Tribe, many of their Miqo'te possess magical abilities, and it isn't strange to see those few in the Y spend time with the I tribe to learn. They are led by I'kahn Nunh, who has held his Nunh-hood for more than forty years.Â
Other notable issues were presented by way of pirates, raiders, and even slavers at times who roamed the La Noscea wilderness.
The Calamity saw a major upheaval in the tribe. Three of the four members of the Rahzarr Kahl were killed at Cartenau, and Rikke was left searching for a way to fill out the tribes main source of income. He and Ashake both garnered much respect from the tribe for getting them through that time in one piece, and the tribe has been gradually returning to a thriving state.Â
One notable event is that the Rahzarr Kahl now maintain a loose partnership with the Grand Companies of Eorzea. Recent years has seen the GCs take over a large aspect of hunting, along with the implementation of the Raimdelle Codex, which the RK now have access to along with their already immense tribe records. On the surface, this partnership is amicable, but it was born of necessity, and Amra in particular is resentful of the way hunting has begun to be controlled so tightly by the GCs.
