So when his father died, it'd be far more likely that another male who was of age and such would take over the job of nunh, not him. If he wants to be nunh, he'd likely have to fight for it, prove himself, or start his own group.
He did have to battle for his Nunh status, in 1565. But I do think you're right, that his act of taking a single bride would reduce his status to Tia. And his status as Nunh didn't dictate his leadership status. His father imparted it upon him. Upon his father's death, instead of holding a tribunal to elect a new leader, someone simply took it upon himself to challenge Caden to take his place. Wether or not that would have held up to a tribunal is unknown. I didn't mean to make it seem like Nunh was a status of leadership. I will make the proper adjustments to correct that.
And I do see what you're saying with the clan thing, I did get that mixed up with tribe. There are 26 different tribes, the clan being Seekers of the sun. I will also make that proper adjustment. So I suppose it would be a community with different tribes all gathered together. I was thinking it this way because of the devastation they had to escape from in Ala Mhigo that there weren't many of the tribes left so they formed a community? I don't think that's so far fetched. Also, because Ala Mhigo has historically been a sort of...unstable place, that over the years in that area, tribal structure for some Seekers of the Sun tribes would change, alter slightly.
I'm sort of basing Caden's tribal structure around that.
That would partially attribute to not everyone having the same clan letter assigned to their name, such as Caden's mate, as she's from a different tribe. And his father did mate outside of his tribe. Unless you think that once mated, the female becomes a member of the tribe she marries into.
For example, Caden's mate, C’meina, is of the Coeurl tribe; once mated to Caden she would adopt the Wolf so her name would be W'meina?
Good points all around Aysun, thank you for your input. This was all put together rather hastily for me and isn't entirely. It's helped me immensely to flesh out those aspects. And again, this is still in the experimental stages. Everything is subject to change or to be thrown in the trash.
OH, height! Forgot about that part. I actually changed Isaac's height when that study came out. I gathered from it that Miqo'te males are tall? Eh, just as well. I didn't like him being so tall anyway. I have re-adjusted his height to what it was before.
