It took me a while to figure out, but it's extremely simple to understand, however, it won't be a short explanation. I do not believe it is over complicated, so bear with me. Society: Show Content Spoiler Rather than having the tribes settle down in the Twelveswood, I have moved their location to a south eastern region of Coerthas. I can't say exactly where as I'm ultimately unfamiliar with that particular area, though I am familiar with Coerthas' landscape. Before Caden was born, his father -still a young man- had separated from his original tribe, gained his own territory and formed his own tribe: Sky. Following Ala Mhigo's destruction: Caden's father pulled together a group of Miqo'te from other clans, mostly stragglers or what was left over from the desolation of Ala Mhigo, and created a group tribe known as a Kith. The Kith is comprised of eight separate tribes. Instead of saying "A member of my Kith...", one would say any of the following, depending on the context of the conversation: "My Kith-kin," "A Kith-kin," "One of the Kith-kin." Or just "Kith-kin." Some of the Miqo'te were members of the original 26 tribes, so upon finally settling in Coerthas, those tribes elected a nunh out of their ranks, if they didn't already have one, and then said nunh created a new tribe prefix. Each tribe in the Kith has an elder that form the Tribunal council, however there is a Tribal Leader, who governs the entire Kith. Though the Tribunal holds sessions for decision making, the Tribal leader ultimately makes the final decisions. Especially when it comes to laws and unlawful behavior and punishments. The position of Tribal leader can be passed down to the leader's chosen offspring in the event of his/her death. Otherwise, a Tribunal or a series of nunh claims and challenges occur. Female's can hold the Tribal leader position. Inter-tribal mating is allowed, but only for single pairing. Nunh and tia habits still exist and are encouraged. Tribes: Show Content Spoiler In light of males being able to separate from their clans and form their own, and the naming convention that goes along with it, I have created 8 different tribes for the community Caden's father formed after fleeing Ala Mhigo. Here is the list with their letter prefix and pronunciation: Sky: Sa - sah Night: Ni - nee Plains: Pa - pah Wind: Wi - wee Sea: Se - soeh (sew) Mountain: Mu - moo Raven: Rv - ruvh (roove) Fire: Fr - furah (foo-rah) Most of them are pronounced just as you see them. (the h's producing the slight hiss that most races cannot reproduce, so remain silent.) None of the sounds here are produced by the original alphabet to avoid confusion. However, for three I was forced to combine the sound for the two letters of the prefix according to the original alphabet. Example: ruvh is a combination of ruh and vah. Notes: Show Content Spoiler Now, I don't expect to have to explain the intricacies, if you can call them that, of this societal structure during an RP and even if I do, it will be a horribly simplified version of what is listed above. Because Caden exiled himself from the Kith community, he no longer considers himself Kith-kin with anyone, so he would not use that colloquialism in any kind of conversation. I don't think this sort of societal structure is too far fetched. I'm nearly 100% certain that other Miqo'te tribes do similar things. I mean, the original 26 tribes that crossed the frozen sea's to Eorzea had to have, at least in some small way, worked together as a group. Please keep in mind, -if you come away with anything, let it be this- that this discussion topic has nothing to do with Caden himself on a personal level. I am merely trying to flesh something out for his background that is feasible so if for some un-earthly reason it comes up, I'll have continuity and firm footing. Something that isn't so far fetched that when it's brought up, other people aren't like, "Whoa, that's not possible," or "that's too far fetched." Nothing in here will be about Caden's personality or personal traits, mannerisms, speech patterns, any distinguishing marks, how long his hair is etc. Nothing about his journey through life will be discussed here. What Caden goes through is my business. Also note, again, that everything here is experimental. Nothing has been set in stone or implemented. One thing that I was thinking about, and I wanted to get some input on, was this: I was thinking about having the Night tribe be a Keeper tribe. Coerthas is mountainous and full of caves. I'm sure that whatever area in the region the community settle in there would be a good sized cave the Keeper tribe could live in. Thoughts? Thank you again for reading.
