Quote:Möngke Kha, the ancestor of Sarantali's lineage, took their family's predilection towards incorporating useful knowledge of other cultures as doctrine to inform his magic. Over time, this combination of shamanistic rituals, Doman tradition, and aetheric philosophy became a powerful esoteric cosmology which he taught to others. His followers became known as the Möngke-Kha after their ancestor and formed into clan led by their war leaders and their Onmyodo.

Any who show a talent are encouraged to develop their own magical stylings using the basis taught by the family and adding bits of powerful magics and rituals that they encounter in the world. As a result the family's shaman are a remarkably eclectic bunch, bearing bits and pieces of practice from anything they've seen working and incorporating it into their own. Those members who don't show any talent with the arts are frequently either warriors or herders; the collection of knowledge over generations had led to the Mongke-Kha having rather excellent livestock that forms their main trade.

As tradition dictates, titles are passed down from eldest child to eldest child in the main lineage with their leader known as the Sun of the Mongke-Kha. In order to discourage conflict, the second child is styled as the Moon and sworn from birth to defend their elder sibling. Any children passed this are styled as Stars and serve frequently as diplomats. The Sun of the Möngke-Kha leads the family into war, peace and seals negotiations, the Moon makes divinations, handles rituals, and keeps its secret lore, its magical traditions, and its written records of trade and breeding.

In recent times, there was strife within the Möngke-Kha between their more traditionalist members and leader, Temürdai, who insisted on the continued migrations and travel between cities and places and cultures, and the rising sun, Narange, who wished to cultivate stronger (criminal) ties within Doma and use their well cultivated reputation and magical prowess to amass power for themselves. Traditionally the Möngke-Kha would travel in a circuit between Doma, Kugane and the Steppe, the push to establish stronger Doman ties led to their time in the city state growing longer and longer before the attack.

Under Narange, the family strengthened their criminal ties as strategists, smugglers and mystics for hire. Anyone who had criminal dealings in Doma might have run into these Magicians-for-Hire or even had a stake in the power struggle between Temürdai and his son.

Was my personal lore for Sarantali.

They wander from one day to the next
They wander from one time to the next
It weaves an invisible path
It waits until you are ready to take the risk
A voice echoes over the mountains up to the heavens
