A tia can become nunh by defeating the nunh of an existing territory in battle, or he can acquire new territory for the tribe and be granted the title of nunh of that territory. That's different from the tia just striking out on his own and creating a new tribe, which per lore is extremely rare.
By the by, the mixed naming convention thing on that wiki is a "fanon" construct and hasn't been confirmed by any official lore source. The devs haven't said anything about mixed clan naming conventions, at least that I've seen.
Thanks for reaffirming. I've actually been putting a whole lot of thought into why Renha is named the way he is since deciding on it. Identity crisis wooo.
Without getting too much into detail, what I came up with is that a child born to a Keeper mother and raised in a traditional Seeker setting would likely be fairly ostracized from the rest of his tribe. When he gets old enough to understand why, he casts off the title of "Tia" and all the responsibility that comes with it, and takes on his mother's family name instead - paying respect to his lineage and toward the woman who'd loved him most.
