A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Updated:&lt;/b&gt; September 27th, 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coinpurse:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai is carries a moderate amount of gil on her at all times. Not enough to be extravagant, but enough to be able to slip into the palms of particularly tight-lipped informants when needed and buy a glass or two of fine whiskey besides.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blade:&lt;/b&gt; Rest assured, any time that Jaliqai is out and about, she's most likely got some kind of blade on her, even if it is concealed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Linkpearls:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to be able to keep in private contact with people she finds useful, and so she always has a few personal linkpearls she keeps handy to pass out to those she wants to keep in touch with.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paralyzing Potion:&lt;/b&gt; A potion she requested from [[Akay'a Zhwan]] on behalf of an acquaintance. Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping. She is currently carrying one dosage on her person, tested to be the exact right amount for someone of her size.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Face Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/129739690715/that-moment-when-you-chance-upon-a-perfect-face Nargis Amelina] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Natalia Karandashova] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [https://www.facebook.com/uyangamusic/posts/766204770167005 Uyanga Bold].&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaan Tribe=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;TRIBE OVERVIEW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#c91919;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; family=&quot;Georgia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE QULAAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; were one of the lesser Xaela tribes that roamed far and wide across the continent of Othard, often referred to as the &lt;b&gt;Wolves of the Steppe&lt;/b&gt; by other Xaela tribes and Othardian peoples alike. Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was not particularly uncommon among the Qulaani, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan tribe, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm, and he was the one whose arms I always ran into when I was young.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. When she was young, her father was her constant hero and doted on her much more heavily than her mother did. As she grew older and it became obvious that she'd inherited more of her mother's fiery disposition than his own calmer manner, Yesugei was the one who went to great efforts to try and temper her capricious nature with self-control and the need to sit back, watch, and listen. As such, he's largely responsible for how good of a tracker and judge of character she's become. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaani, and assumes he is also deceased, which is a realization that sometimes weighs quite heavily on her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly.

Bayard, a veteran bounty hunter, took the lead over the group and coaxed the Xaela woman under his wing. He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth. More than that, he and Jaliqai became very close and developed feelings for one another. Feelings that eventually made her decide to leave him in a fit of guilt and a sense of betrayal to her tribe.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a few moons, Bayard contacted Jaliqai again for help with a job up in Ishgard. Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made. And so she's made her own choice: to cut contact with him altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Berkborn Mharbhrat]], &lt;i&gt;rough-spoken roegadyn&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Berk's good company, especially over drinks.

Jaliqai doesn't understand the woman's admissions of love for her or her constant following, something that initially caused much hostility and even a failed attempt on the hyur's life by the Xaela.

His attempts to convince her to open up to him, as well as his urging for her to renounce her more Eorzean ways in favor of tribal tradition, never fail to ruffle her feathers.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase.

Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral.

While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on. But please also note that this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; an express ticket to romance and/or ERP with Jaliqai.

He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth.

Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made.

After a successful bout of skulking around, and another hefty coinpurse later, the red-haired miqo'te seemed pleased with the results and afforded Jaliqai an 'in' to join the Blind Viper.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person.

Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on. But please also note that this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; an express ticket to romance and/or ERP with Jaliqai.

He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth.

Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon.

However, he's recently gone missing under suspicious circumstances, and Jaliqai is working with some of his other associates to find him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Khivva Nhys]], &lt;i&gt;the contract&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;She seems to have a good enough head on her shoulders.

After a successful bout of skulking around, and another hefty coinpurse later, the red-haired miqo'te seemed pleased with the results and afforded Jaliqai an 'in' to join the Blind Viper.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general.

I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person.

Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping. She is currently carrying one dosage on her person, tested to be the exact right amount for someone of her size.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Face Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/129739690715/that-moment-when-you-chance-upon-a-perfect-face Nargis Amelina] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Natalia Karandashova] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [https://www.facebook.com/uyangamusic/posts/766204770167005 Uyanga Bold].&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaan Tribe=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;TRIBE OVERVIEW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#c91919;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; family=&quot;Georgia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE QULAAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; were one of the lesser Xaela tribes that roamed far and wide across the continent of Othard, often referred to as the &lt;b&gt;Wolves of the Steppe&lt;/b&gt; by other Xaela tribes and Othardian peoples alike. Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what she has been up to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Togy Brandmakt (??) :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Daggers.&lt;/i&gt; Defeated by the man's superior use of magicks and lack of preparation.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Grindstone (9/12) :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Daggers.&lt;/i&gt; First round defeat to Saraj Malqir.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Grindstone (10/17) :&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Daggers.&lt;/i&gt; First round victory over Brimcon Sako.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on.

Bayard, a veteran bounty hunter, took the lead over the group and coaxed the Xaela woman under his wing. He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth. More than that, he and Jaliqai became very close and developed feelings for one another. Feelings that eventually made her decide to leave him in a fit of guilt and a sense of betrayal to her tribe.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a few moons, Bayard contacted Jaliqai again for help with a job up in Ishgard. Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made.

Their views put them at odds with one another when they speak, with the male's ideologies falling more towards tradition and Jaliqai's leaning towards adaptation and change. His attempts to convince her to open up to him, as well as his urging for her to renounce her more Eorzean ways in favor of tribal tradition, never fail to ruffle her feathers. Though a part of her does miss their ways, she would never admit to it to the man, and is content to try to keep him at arm's length.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; Legend &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Jaliqai's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> =Rumors=<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RUMORS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''These are rumors, both from NPCs and PCs, that one might overhear in regards to Jaliqai.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Updated:&lt;/b&gt; September 27th, 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coinpurse:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai is carries a moderate amount of gil on her at all times. Not enough to be extravagant, but enough to be able to slip into the palms of particularly tight-lipped informants when needed and buy a glass or two of fine whiskey besides.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blade:&lt;/b&gt; Rest assured, any time that Jaliqai is out and about, she's most likely got some kind of blade on her, even if it is concealed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Linkpearls:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to be able to keep in private contact with people she finds useful, and so she always has a few personal linkpearls she keeps handy to pass out to those she wants to keep in touch with.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paralyzing Potion:&lt;/b&gt; A potion she requested from [[Akay'a Zhwan]] on behalf of an acquaintance. Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping. She is currently carrying one dosage on her person, tested to be the exact right amount for someone of her size.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Face Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/129739690715/that-moment-when-you-chance-upon-a-perfect-face Nargis Amelina] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Natalia Karandashova] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [https://www.facebook.com/uyangamusic/posts/766204770167005 Uyanga Bold].&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaan Tribe=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;TRIBE OVERVIEW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#c91919;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; family=&quot;Georgia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE QULAAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; were one of the lesser Xaela tribes that roamed far and wide across the continent of Othard, often referred to as the &lt;b&gt;Wolves of the Steppe&lt;/b&gt; by other Xaela tribes and Othardian peoples alike. Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on. But please also note that this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; an express ticket to romance and/or ERP with Jaliqai.

Bayard, a veteran bounty hunter, took the lead over the group and coaxed the Xaela woman under his wing. He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth. More than that, he and Jaliqai became very close and developed feelings for one another. Feelings that eventually made her decide to leave him in a fit of guilt and a sense of betrayal to her tribe.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a few moons, Bayard contacted Jaliqai again for help with a job up in Ishgard. Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made. And so she's made her own choice: to cut contact with him altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Berkborn Mharbhrat]], &lt;i&gt;rough-spoken roegadyn&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Berk's good company, especially over drinks.

Jaliqai doesn't understand the woman's admissions of love for her or her constant following, something that initially caused much hostility and even a failed attempt on the hyur's life by the Xaela.

His attempts to convince her to open up to him, as well as his urging for her to renounce her more Eorzean ways in favor of tribal tradition, never fail to ruffle her feathers.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Other Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER NOTES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LOW AETHERIC CAPACITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Aetheric manipulation, or magic, typically isn't prevalent amongst the Qulaani. Perhaps as a result of their selective breeding favoring physical prowess over aetheric, not to mention that there is hardly any use for magic in their hunts, individuals who are born with the requisite aetheric reserve and aptitude for its manipulation are few and far between. This is something that had little consequence in Othard, but would likely be more keenly felt in Eorzea due to the high amounts of magic and the numerous uses and applications of aether in this new land.

Magic was also absolutely taboo in contests of strength, seen as an unfair advantage. Likewise, in this new land full of odd contraptions, potions, and methods, it is possible that even a Qulaani with low aetheric capacity could eventually learn how to expand their aetheric reserves and manipulate it effectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaani Dialect=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe's native tongue, of course, is Xaelan.

Nowadays, a Qulaani's opinions on Eorzeans are personal rather than communal, and largely dependent upon how they came to new lands and what their experiences have been after.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Current Roster=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT ROSTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #655454; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;TRIBAL STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc9b09;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❢&lt;/font&gt; Darughur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#38761d;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬆&lt;/font&gt; Bilighur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#87b573;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬈&lt;/font&gt; Aughur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬌&lt;/font&gt; Dunghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#e06666;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬊&lt;/font&gt; Caghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc0000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬇&lt;/font&gt; Baghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3472aa;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⧫&lt;/font&gt; Ghadaghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc0000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⛒&lt;/font&gt; Busaghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⛊&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;�&lt;/font&gt; Status Unknown &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3c78d8;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♢&lt;/font&gt; NPC<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 75%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #655454; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #544141;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF TRIBE MEMBERS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai Qulaan,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;huntress of bounties&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬌&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Role:&lt;/b&gt; Tracker (&lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;A lone wolf that can't adapt is a dead wolf.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

If you do join the tribe, I would highly recommend having a LS spot open for it as it will be our primary means of communication and whatnot. (Though depending on interest, something like a Skype or Discord chat might be a possibility for out of game communication purposes.) Please also note that I plan to make LS chat rated 18+ in case any off-color jokes or mature subjects are brought up, so be aware.

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, called the [[Qulaan Tribe]], she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Updated:&lt;/b&gt; September 27th, 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coinpurse:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai is carries a moderate amount of gil on her at all times. Not enough to be extravagant, but enough to be able to slip into the palms of particularly tight-lipped informants when needed and buy a glass or two of fine whiskey besides.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blade:&lt;/b&gt; Rest assured, any time that Jaliqai is out and about, she's most likely got some kind of blade on her, even if it is concealed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Linkpearls:&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to be able to keep in private contact with people she finds useful, and so she always has a few personal linkpearls she keeps handy to pass out to those she wants to keep in touch with.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paralyzing Potion:&lt;/b&gt; A potion she requested from [[Akay'a Zhwan]] on behalf of an acquaintance. Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping. She is currently carrying one dosage on her person, tested to be the exact right amount for someone of her size.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Face Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/129739690715/that-moment-when-you-chance-upon-a-perfect-face Nargis Amelina] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Natalia Karandashova] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [https://www.facebook.com/uyangamusic/posts/766204770167005 Uyanga Bold].&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaan Tribe=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;TRIBE OVERVIEW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#c91919;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; family=&quot;Georgia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE QULAAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; were one of the lesser Xaela tribes that roamed far and wide across the continent of Othard, often referred to as the &lt;b&gt;Wolves of the Steppe&lt;/b&gt; by other Xaela tribes and Othardian peoples alike. Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on. But please also note that this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; an express ticket to romance and/or ERP with Jaliqai.

Bayard, a veteran bounty hunter, took the lead over the group and coaxed the Xaela woman under his wing. He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth. More than that, he and Jaliqai became very close and developed feelings for one another. Feelings that eventually made her decide to leave him in a fit of guilt and a sense of betrayal to her tribe.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a few moons, Bayard contacted Jaliqai again for help with a job up in Ishgard. Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made. And so she's made her own choice: to cut contact with him altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Berkborn Mharbhrat]], &lt;i&gt;rough-spoken roegadyn&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Berk's good company, especially over drinks.

Jaliqai doesn't understand the woman's admissions of love for her or her constant following, something that initially caused much hostility and even a failed attempt on the hyur's life by the Xaela.

His attempts to convince her to open up to him, as well as his urging for her to renounce her more Eorzean ways in favor of tribal tradition, never fail to ruffle her feathers.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Qulaan tribe now has its own wiki with all the information on them you could ever want.. and probably a lot more that you didn't.&lt;br&gt;If you're interested in the head cannon ravings of a giant ol' nerd, click below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px;font-size:30px;color:#420707; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Qulaan_Tribe Qulaan Tribe Wiki]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Combat=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;COMBAT &amp; WEAPONRY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai, as was the way of her tribe, has been taught how to fight and how to hunt from a very young age. Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on. But please also note that this &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;is not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; an express ticket to romance and/or ERP with Jaliqai.

After a successful bout of skulking around, and another hefty coinpurse later, the red-haired miqo'te seemed pleased with the results and afforded Jaliqai an 'in' to join the Blind Viper.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.''' That isn't to say she's wholly unlikeable or incapable of social interaction. Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank. As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates. The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking. While hunters and trackers &lt;i&gt;tend&lt;/i&gt; to rank higher than their rider and caretaker counterparts, an especially talented craftsman might socially outrank them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Broadly speaking, everyone who participates in a hunt is a hunter in Qulaani culture. However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds. In intertribal conflicts, the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; are also most responsible for the tribe's defense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TRACKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, there are members in the tribe who excel more at the tracking down of quarry than actually subduing it. These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Following One'), and their chief role is to scout out potential prey, watch them and learn their ways, and then lead the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; back to them for the hunt. While a &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; might have some fighting ability, they typically are not as skilled as &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;RIDERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While not quite as prestigious as a role as the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; nor &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, the riders -- &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, (Lit. 'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on.

Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable.

It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank. The &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; will typically receive the most notable of hunting trophies that will win them the most glory and honor. Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Other Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER NOTES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious.

Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LOW AETHERIC CAPACITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Aetheric manipulation, or magic, typically isn't prevalent amongst the Qulaani. Perhaps as a result of their selective breeding favoring physical prowess over aetheric, not to mention that there is hardly any use for magic in their hunts, individuals who are born with the requisite aetheric reserve and aptitude for its manipulation are few and far between. This is something that had little consequence in Othard, but would likely be more keenly felt in Eorzea due to the high amounts of magic and the numerous uses and applications of aether in this new land.

Magic was also absolutely taboo in contests of strength, seen as an unfair advantage. Likewise, in this new land full of odd contraptions, potions, and methods, it is possible that even a Qulaani with low aetheric capacity could eventually learn how to expand their aetheric reserves and manipulate it effectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaani Dialect=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe's native tongue, of course, is Xaelan.

While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around.

Nowadays, a Qulaani's opinions on Eorzeans are personal rather than communal, and largely dependent upon how they came to new lands and what their experiences have been after.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Current Roster=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT ROSTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #655454; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;TRIBAL STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc9b09;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❢&lt;/font&gt; Darughur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#38761d;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬆&lt;/font&gt; Bilighur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#87b573;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬈&lt;/font&gt; Aughur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬌&lt;/font&gt; Dunghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#e06666;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬊&lt;/font&gt; Caghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc0000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬇&lt;/font&gt; Baghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3472aa;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⧫&lt;/font&gt; Ghadaghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#cc0000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⛒&lt;/font&gt; Busaghur &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⛊&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;�&lt;/font&gt; Status Unknown &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3c78d8;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♢&lt;/font&gt; NPC<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 75%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #655454; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #544141;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF TRIBE MEMBERS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai Qulaan,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;huntress of bounties&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;⬌&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Role:&lt;/b&gt; Tracker (&lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;A lone wolf that can't adapt is a dead wolf.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

If you do join the tribe, I would highly recommend having a LS spot open for it as it will be our primary means of communication and whatnot. (Though depending on interest, something like a Skype or Discord chat might be a possibility for out of game communication purposes.) Please also note that I plan to make LS chat rated 18+ in case any off-color jokes or mature subjects are brought up, so be aware.

However, repeated hostility, passive aggression, and anything that generally and consistently disrupts the harmony of the group will lead to warnings and finally, dismissal from the group.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

Strength in a hunt pleases their goddess.

Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years.

However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on.

That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates. The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon. It is seen as an act of weakness and selfishness. Fights occasionally break out when adrenaline-filled hunters break out into arguments over whose right it was to make a kill.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers.

For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

While a &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; might have some fighting ability, they typically are not as skilled as &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;RIDERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While not quite as prestigious as a role as the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; nor &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, the riders -- &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, (Lit. 'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank. The &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; will typically receive the most notable of hunting trophies that will win them the most glory and honor. Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaani Dialect=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE QULAANI DIALECT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe's native tongue, of course, is Xaelan.

If you do join the tribe, I would highly recommend having a LS spot open for it as it will be our primary means of communication and whatnot. (Though depending on interest, something like a Skype or Discord chat might be a possibility for out of game communication purposes.) Please also note that I plan to make LS chat rated 18+ in case any off-color jokes or mature subjects are brought up, so be aware.

Nor does this mean that your character &lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt; to join the new tribe (if one forms).

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Unmoving One'). They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

If you do join the tribe, I would highly recommend having a LS spot open for it as it will be our primary means of communication and whatnot. (Though depending on interest, something like a Skype or Discord chat might be a possibility for out of game communication purposes.) Please also note that I plan to make LS chat rated 18+ in case any off-color jokes or mature subjects are brought up, so be aware.

Nor does this mean that your character &lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt; to join the new tribe (if one forms).

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Unmoving One'). They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Role:&lt;/b&gt; Role.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank. As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates. The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking. While hunters and trackers &lt;i&gt;tend&lt;/i&gt; to rank higher than their rider and caretaker counterparts, an especially talented craftsman might socially outrank them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Broadly speaking, everyone who participates in a hunt is a hunter in Qulaani culture. However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds. In intertribal conflicts, the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; are also most responsible for the tribe's defense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TRACKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, there are members in the tribe who excel more at the tracking down of quarry than actually subduing it. These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Following One'), and their chief role is to scout out potential prey, watch them and learn their ways, and then lead the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; back to them for the hunt. While a &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; might have some fighting ability, they typically are not as skilled as &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;RIDERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While not quite as prestigious as a role as the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; nor &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, the riders -- &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, (Lit. 'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on.

Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable.

It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank. The &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; will typically receive the most notable of hunting trophies that will win them the most glory and honor. Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down.

Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

They are expected to show due deference to their elders, as well as assisting them in whatever needs to be done around camp. They also are expected to be diligent in learning from their teachers. An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon. It is seen as an act of weakness and selfishness. Fights occasionally break out when adrenaline-filled hunters break out into arguments over whose right it was to make a kill. While seen as a breach of hunting law, infractions are generally only treated with scorn from the tribe for a time.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking. While hunters and trackers &lt;i&gt;tend&lt;/i&gt; to rank higher than their rider and caretaker counterparts, an especially talented craftsman might socially outrank them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Broadly speaking, everyone who participates in a hunt is a hunter in Qulaani culture. However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Following One'), and their chief role is to scout out potential prey, watch them and learn their ways, and then lead the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; back to them for the hunt.

'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into.

Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders.

They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability.

Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speakers of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down.

Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

They are expected to show due deference to their elders, as well as assisting them in whatever needs to be done around camp. They also are expected to be diligent in learning from their teachers. An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon. It is seen as an act of weakness and selfishness. Fights occasionally break out when adrenaline-filled hunters break out into arguments over whose right it was to make a kill. While seen as a breach of hunting law, infractions are generally only treated with scorn from the tribe for a time.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking. While hunters and trackers &lt;i&gt;tend&lt;/i&gt; to rank higher than their rider and caretaker counterparts, an especially talented craftsman might socially outrank them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Broadly speaking, everyone who participates in a hunt is a hunter in Qulaani culture. However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Following One'), and their chief role is to scout out potential prey, watch them and learn their ways, and then lead the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; back to them for the hunt.

'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into.

Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders.

They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability.

Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

As such, particularly petulant children typically learn their lessons early on about social cohesion once they are pushed to the bottom of the &lt;i&gt;caghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BAGHUR: The Low Ranking&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Weak One'&lt;/i&gt;. This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates. The only exception to this is in &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; during times of scarcity of prey, where the desperate need of food, furs, and hides outweighs pride.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEVER STEAL PREY FROM ANOTHER HUNTER&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;To steal the kill from another hunter is something that the tribe very much looks down upon. It is seen as an act of weakness and selfishness. Fights occasionally break out when adrenaline-filled hunters break out into arguments over whose right it was to make a kill. While seen as a breach of hunting law, infractions are generally only treated with scorn from the tribe for a time.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers.

For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking. While hunters and trackers &lt;i&gt;tend&lt;/i&gt; to rank higher than their rider and caretaker counterparts, an especially talented craftsman might socially outrank them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Broadly speaking, everyone who participates in a hunt is a hunter in Qulaani culture. However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds. In intertribal conflicts, the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; are also most responsible for the tribe's defense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TRACKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, there are members in the tribe who excel more at the tracking down of quarry than actually subduing it. These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Following One'), and their chief role is to scout out potential prey, watch them and learn their ways, and then lead the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; back to them for the hunt. While a &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; might have some fighting ability, they typically are not as skilled as &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;RIDERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While not quite as prestigious as a role as the &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt; nor &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, the riders -- &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, (Lit. 'Riding One') -- act as liaisons between the Qulaan, other tribes, and other settlements. They typically aren't overly skilled in fighting, only so much as to be able to defend themselves during travels. Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Unmoving One'). They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations.

First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Unmoving One'). They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

To this end, the Qulaani have two words for these different types of hunting: &lt;i&gt;Abachin&lt;/i&gt; refers to the everyday type of hunting for meat, furs, and so forth. &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt;, on the other hand, refers to the Hunt as a tribe, where challenging beasts are sought out for the Qulaani to prove themselves to their goddess. While the tribe has specific laws for hunting in general, the &lt;i&gt;Abala&lt;/i&gt; is much more ritualized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LAWS OF THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;EASY PREY BRINGS NO GLORY NOR HONOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;One might think the Qulaani so predatory that they would actively hunt and kill anything they are able to. Quite the opposite, the tribe takes no pride in hunting creatures that would be considered easy prey, such as the young, injured, or infirm. A hunter who boasts the killing of such quarry is themselves seen as weak, that they were unable to hunt anything stronger, and thus gains only derision from their tribe mates.

Thus, once quarry is brought down, it is believed that consuming the beast's flesh will confer unto them part of the beast's strength or cunning. Likewise, items made from the hide, scale, bones, etc. of these creatures are imbued with their soul and essence. Different parts of a beast are said to have differing properties. The heart is said to grant a beast's courage, and the blood its longevity. The brain confers their knowledge, and the tongue their wisdom. Legs grant swiftness, wings grant lightness on one's feet, and tails grant balance. Bone and scale carry the creature's strength, while hides and furs bestow upon the wearer its ability to survive and thrive. Eyes improve sight and aim, ears improve hearing, noses improve smell. Claws and fangs carry within them the beast's fierceness and fighting prowess.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;That said, Qulaani make a point to use every part of the hunted creature. Not only would doing otherwise be extremely wasteful, but it is extremely disrespectful to one's quarry. The Qulaani believe that by consuming the beast and making armor, weapons, and other items from the rest of its body, the spirit of the animal lives on in them and gains some measure of immortality. The only exception to this is in the occasion that a person is the quarry. In such a case, the body is burned so that the spirit released for the gods to judge. To consume the flesh of man is seen as an atrocity, and would result in exile from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;SPOILS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO RANK&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Any hunter that participates in the hunt is entitled to their share of the spoils, regardless of their rank.

The first hunt of each season is called &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt;, with each season's first hunt having its own name in particular, and is said to predict the fortune the tribe will have in the rest of their hunts. As such, this is a very important time for the Qulaan tribe, as a poor showing during &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; will result in poor hunting until the next season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the changing of the hunting season sees the tribe packing up and moving to a new hunting ground. These migrations generally follow where the promise of worthy prey leads, as discovered by their own trackers and the leads they've heard from other tribes and peoples that they have traded stories with. As such, the tribe does not necessarily go to the same hunting grounds year after year. One summer season might see them in the steppes, while another may put them in the desert. They follow no set route, only the route that the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; believes the best prey can be found. That said, a number of sequential poor hunting seasons back to back reflects poorly on the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;'s judgment and is often grounds for removal from leadership.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;ROLES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Within the tribe, individuals can usually be broken down into one of four primary roles: hunters, trackers, riders, or caretakers. The role that a Qulaani belongs to is not always static and can change with a change in social station, physical or mental ability, and so forth. Likewise, the boundaries are not always black and white. For example, a tracker might also be a skilled fighter, and likewise, almost all tribe members have caretaking responsibilities from time to time. Nor is role inherently tied with social ranking.

However, there is a more specific term -- &lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;, lit. 'Fighting One' -- that refers to those members of the tribe whose specialty is the act of fighting and battle itself. These are typically the stronger members of the tribe who are most gifted with weaponry, typically several different kinds.

These individuals are called &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit.

Their skills rather lie in their charisma, knowledge of other peoples and languages, and knack for trade and compromise. They are in charge of the trade of goods and information between the tribe and outsiders, and often seek to bring back leads of potential prey for the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; to check into. Likewise, when conflict arises with outsiders, the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt; are usually the first to try and come to a peaceful resolution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CARETAKERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, those who lack the ability or skills to fit neatly into another role are typically relegated to the role of caretaker, or &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Unmoving One'). They typically aren't strong enough to fight or hunt, or have lost the ability to after an injury or illness, and so they are instead placed in charge of the upkeep and day-to-day chores of the camp. They have the responsibilities of cooking, child care, tending the horses, repairs, and so forth. There are also &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; who are skilled in a craft such as carving, weaving, leatherwork, or so on. A craftsman who can turn the spoils of a hunt into useful items, especially arms and armor, is an extremely invaluable and respected member of the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;WEAPONS AND ARMOR&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In general, the Qulaan tend to favor weapons that have a long reach to them, securely keeping them out of the grasping claws and snapping jaws of their quarry. Melee weaponry such as greatswords, greataxes, and spears are common. While these weapons can be rather hefty in size and weight, the Qulaani prefer to minimize extravagance for efficiency, and train their bodies to be strong enough to properly wield them. Likewise, that isn't to say the other shorter range weapons are not entirely unheard of. Situationally, they even prove more useful in a hunt or fight than their longer reaching peers. Still, they are uncommon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Truly ranged weaponry is also highly favored. The bow and arrow is the most common and highly valued means of ranged hunting and fighting, as it was the bow that Balanai herself hunted with. Being a skilled archer is seen as a great blessing. Other ranged weapons, such as hunting javelins or slingspears, are also uncommon but still occasionally used.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as armor is concerned, the Qulaani are highly adaptable. They favor no one specific type of armor, but rather outfit themselves according to what type of hunt they are undertaking. For example, a beast known for its sharp teeth and claws and its strength would likely see the hunters outfitting themselves with heavier armors. However, a creature who is quick or prone to fleeing might see them in lighter armor, so that they might better give chase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Overall, the Qulaani armory is mostly crafted by traditional means by their own craftsmen using natural materials such as bone, scales, horn, and hide collected in their hunts. However, trading with outsiders also saw the tribe gaining access to more 'civilized' types of metal armor and weapons over time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE HUNT&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;An &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; typically begins with the rumor of a particularly worthy beast or beasts that reaches the tribe through the &lt;i&gt;unghur&lt;/i&gt;, or riders. Once this lead is found and the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; names their quarry, the tribe relocates if necessary if they are not close enough for the pursuit. Once settled, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will typically ask for Balanai's blessing and, if all signs seem positive, the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; will officially begin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;After the official commencement of a hunt, the responsibility shifts to the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt;, or trackers. They seek out their quarry and watch it for a time once found, learning its ways. This process might take suns or even moons, depending on the skill of the &lt;i&gt;daghur&lt;/i&gt; and the elusiveness of the beast. Likewise, riders may continue to make contact with outsiders to inquire about the beast as well. Information on their prey is reported back to the tribe, where the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; strategize, and the craftsmen of the &lt;i&gt;toghur&lt;/i&gt; begin making the appropriate preparations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once preparations are made and enough information is gathered, a hunting party is chosen by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; based on the individuals' skills and ability. This party will typically consist mostly of hunters (&lt;i&gt;baighur&lt;/i&gt;), as well as a handful of trackers and riders who know the most about the quarry and can lead them to the beast. Sometimes, if a hunt is expected to last for more than a sun or two, a small handful of caretakers will also be brought along to tend to the horses and the temporary camp.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the hunt itself, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and the hunters lead the fighting. Capable trackers and riders may also participate if allowed by the leader, though caretakers are obligated to stay back at the camp. Fighting can be fierce, and can span over several suns. Likewise, victory is not assured, and there may be casualties. In such a case, the Qulaani are careful to collect and care for their dead, but typically do not relent in the hunt unless losses are too great or the trail goes cold.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When an &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt; is successful, the slain beast is brought back to the Qulaani's encampment. It is there that the quarry is divvied up between tribe members. If this is an &lt;i&gt;anq-abala&lt;/i&gt; hunt, the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; will determine while part of the beast is the most valuable or potent. This will be the part offered to Balanai. After that, the hunting party takes their share of the spoilers, starting with the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Once all who participated in the hunt have their spoils, the next in line are the caretakers who accompanied the party on the &lt;i&gt;abala&lt;/i&gt;, if applicable. Finally, whatever remains is fair game for the rest of the tribe to share until nothing is left.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;TROPHIES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It is Qulaani practice to not only consume the flesh of slain quarry, but also to keep a part of the beast as a trophy. These items are called &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Offering') in their tongue. as the main purpose in their collection is not only to showcase one's hunting experience, but also to be offered up along with the hunter's body at cremation when they pass. It is believed that a Qulaani must make this offering to Balanai when they pass in order to gain her favor and be reincarnated as a wolf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As with other resources, &lt;i&gt;tabigh&lt;/i&gt; are distributed in regards to rank.

Other choice pieces are often selected by higher ranking members to be made into weapons, armor, or items such as instruments or containers. By the time it reaches the bottom of the social ladder, there may be only small trophies left: smaller bones, scales, feathers, or maybe a tooth or claw if they are lucky.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Qulaani have a few distinct physical features. The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious.

Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring.

Their initial arrival in the land some generations back was met with a great deal of fighting and bloodshed before the tribe finally figured realized that they were not going anywhere any time soon. As such, they learned to adapt to their presence, and treated them like they did any other large and violent Xaela tribe: by giving them their space and avoiding confrontation when possible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Of course, all it took was one unfortunate incident and a few generations of forgetfulness of the Garleans' might for the tribe to be foolishly pushed towards revenge and, ultimately, destruction at their superior armor and firepower.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years.

However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together.

If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on.

The same goes for those who fall sick, as long as the sickness isn't communicable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;However, for those who are born weak or ill, they also occupy a very low rung on the Qulaani social ladder. They are protected and cared for, but much like the omega wolf in a pack, they may take the brunt of their stronger, more dominant peers' anger and frustrations from time to time. It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult.

As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations.

Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this.

Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

As such, particularly petulant children typically learn their lessons early on about social cohesion once they are pushed to the bottom of the &lt;i&gt;caghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BAGHUR: The Low Ranking&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Weak One'&lt;/i&gt;. This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Generally speaking, this is someone who has proven somehow that they can be trustworthy and that they will contribute positively to the tribe. Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank. As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right. Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat and receive supplies, even after the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BUSAGHUR: The Exiled&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Betraying One'&lt;/i&gt;. When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious. First, a child born with bright yellow-gold eyes, referred to as &lt;i&gt;qulatei&lt;/i&gt; or 'wolf's eyes', is a very lucky sign. Likewise, a female tribe member with light colored hair and skin is said to be blessed by Balanai herself, as the goddess is depicted as being a fair-skinned and fair-haired ethereal maiden and this genetic combination is quite rare.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan are predisposed to speak several different languages, by virtue of their penchant for travel and interaction with others. Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan tribe was not only very social within its own ranks, but it also frequently sought out other tribes intentionally or made contact when paths happened to cross.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

The first is their build. Years of selective breeding have seen most Qulaani develop builds that readily gain sleek musculature when kept trained and honed. Qulaani men are of average height for Xaela, though the women tend to be a bit on the taller side. Second is that their canine teeth tend to be a bit more pointed than normal. They may be quick to point this out as proof of their wolf's blood. However, chances are, it's just the result of selective breeding of this desirable trait over generations. Finally, the Qulaani tend to be of a medium to darker skin tone, mostly from spending so much time in the saddle traveling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are also a few physical traits that the tribe finds particularly auspicious.

Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them.

After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Generally speaking, this is someone who has proven somehow that they can be trustworthy and that they will contribute positively to the tribe. Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank. As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right. Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat and receive supplies, even after the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BUSAGHUR: The Exiled&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Betraying One'&lt;/i&gt;. When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move. As such, Qulaani are often illiterate. Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =External Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed.

Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition. Tribal history, culture, learning, and so forth is all passed down orally. Carrying endless written scrolls and books just aren't practical for a tribe that is always on the move.

Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area.

In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

An unruly child will not be demoted to a lower overall rank.

This is the rank of the weakest and least capable of the Qulaani. Typically, the &lt;i&gt;bahguri&lt;/i&gt; are those that are born weak or ill, or those who are not able to pass their coming of age trial to join the tribe as a full-fledged member. They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner. In such a case, it is most common for that individual to become &lt;i&gt;dunghur&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Likewise, the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; rank also house the individuals who, for some reason or another, disrupt the social cohesion of the tribe. Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most. While they don't live under constant cruelty from their superiors, they are like the omega wolves in a pack, where they often bear the brunt of their superiors' tempers and frustrations in times of tension. They are also the last to receive food and resources, as well as being assigned the least desirable jobs and tasks in the camp, such as cleaning up after the horses, gathering firewood, and so on.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GHADAGHUR: The Outsiders&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Outside One'&lt;/i&gt;.

Generally speaking, this is someone who has proven somehow that they can be trustworthy and that they will contribute positively to the tribe. Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank. As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right. Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat and receive supplies, even after the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BUSAGHUR: The Exiled&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Betraying One'&lt;/i&gt;. When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting.

Their native tongue, of course, is Xaelan. They have their own dialect which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt; (lit.'Tongue of the Wolf People'). While mostly intelligible to other speaks of Xaelan, there are some words and grammar aspects that are completely different and can lead to breakdowns in communication that have to be worked around. It is also easy to pick out as a dialect due to the harsh, almost growl-like tone it is often spoken with.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In addition to &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;, the tribe in general is also able to hold their own in the Common tongue, which they call &lt;i&gt;kel-qumugha&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'Tongue of Everyone'). Outside of their native dialect, it is most useful to them as a catch-all language, given that most non-Xaela they interact with, as well as some of the other tribes, seem to speak the language. Finally, there are some in the tribe -- typically those who interact the most with outsiders -- that have a basic grasp of Doman. This language, called &lt;i&gt;kel-Domani&lt;/i&gt; (lie. 'Tongue of the Domans'), tends to give the Qulaani some trouble. Not only is the sound of the language dissimilar, but the two grammars are night-and-day different. Qulaani who do speak some Doman tend not to master the grammar, but pick up faster on vocabulary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As far as writing is concerned, the tribe does not have a strong written tradition.

Some do pick up bits and pieces of other writing systems, but it's more of the exception than the rule.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE ARTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The arts definitely have a solid place in Qulaani culture, from everyday life to religious worship.

Rather, the artists tend to use natural, handmade pigments to paint scenes from myths and stories onto items such as pots, drums, and so on. Occasionally, artists will leave behind paintings on large stones or cave walls, especially if something notable, such as an especially noteworthy hunt, occurred in the area. Body and face painting is also common, especially during ceremonies, festivals, and celebrations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;REPRODUCTION, ROMANCE, AND SEXUALITY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Unlike in most cultures that consider reproduction, romance, and sexuality to be inherently linked, the Qulaani have quite the opposite view. In their culture where reproductive mates are chosen for them for the betterment of the tribe, childbearing is a duty rather than a product of romance. One is not necessarily obligated to form a romantic bond with their hunting companion, or &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt;. Yet regardless of their romantic feelings or lackthereof, a Qulaani is still expected to put their personal feelings aside and bear children for the sake of the tribe's future. As this is the culture that the Qulaani were raised in, the vast majority do not take issue with this. In fact, upon encountering cultures that differ in this respect, the tribe member is more likely to be confused or conflicted by the concept of 'getting married and having children'.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On the other hand, Qulaani are permitted to form romantic relationships with whomever they choose -- from within the tribe. Romantic relationships with outsiders and &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; are looked down upon. Most romantic relationships occur between individuals of similar rank in the tribe, but this isn't a hard and fast rule so much as a tendency. The type of romantic orientations among tribe members is also fairly diversified. Some form romantic relations with multiple individuals, some with only one, and some none at all. Jealousy sometimes crops up amongst members, but is usually either self-resolved or mediated by the &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;. Naturally, however, a romantic relationship that forms between &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is seen as the most deep and pure love. The Qulaani also have a word for this, calling them &lt;i&gt;amarkhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'love companions').&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Sexuality thus occupies an odd space in their culture. First and foremost, sex is seen as a means to produce children. This has its own term in their dialect, which is &lt;i&gt;daghkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'duty mating'. However, sex between romantic partners is also common and has its own word as well: &lt;i&gt;amarkeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'love mating'. Finally, there is sex just for the sake of physical pleasure -- &lt;i&gt;ondukeli&lt;/i&gt;, or 'nothing mating' -- which is rather uncommon and heavily frowned upon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Only the act of &lt;i&gt;dahgkeli&lt;/i&gt; is permitted to produce offspring. In the case that a child's conception comes from a relation outside of that with one's hunting companion, the parents are shunned and relegated to &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt; until the child is born. The tribe will not readily assist in the raising of this child, and sometimes parents have been known to leave these unwanted children out to die of exposure out of shame. If the child is kept, it will never exceed the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; and is likely to face much discrimination. Many of these children eventually leave the tribe of their own volition when they grow old enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Finally, in the matter of sexual orientation, the Qulaani seem to have little issue with either opposite-sex or same-sex relations as long as one still upholds their duty to their &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; and tribe to produce offspring. In fact, there are more than a small handful of Qulaani that lean homo-, bi-, or panromantic and/or sexual, as these types of same-sex relations are promised not to result in accidental, unwanted children and the stigma that comes with them. Same-sex relations are called &lt;i&gt;adalamar&lt;/i&gt; (lit. 'same love') in &lt;i&gt;kel-Qulaani&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat and receive supplies, even after the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BUSAGHUR: The Exiled&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Betraying One'&lt;/i&gt;. When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting. If they are not, they still end up bearing the shame of their partner's betrayal, and are brought down to the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; with little to no hope of ever ascending the ranks again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers.

All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

They are not able to take a hunting companion, gain breeding rights, or possess any respectable level of social influence. While it is possible that a &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; of this nature could eventually prove themselves useful somehow and ascend to another rank, it is extremely difficult. However, this is not to be confused with a hunter who becomes injured or infirm after taking a hunting partner.

Typically these are the tribe mates that cause problems, pick fights with their superiors, and so on. While most of the time this is a temporary shift in ranking for them, until they've learned their lesson, repeat offenders eventually stay locked within this lowest ranking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While there are something dominance displays and posturing between the other social rankings as well, the &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; are most likely to feel the effects of their low position the most.

Their skills can earn them the respect of their peers and even some minor levels of tribal influence, but they will never officially ascend to a higher rank.

Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat and receive supplies, even after the &lt;i&gt;baghuri&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BUSAGHUR: The Exiled&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Betraying One'&lt;/i&gt;. When a Qulaani commits one of the tribe's cardinal sins, despite their social ranking, they face exile from the tribe. That is, if the severity of their offense doesn't merit immediate death at the hands of their tribe mates. As is custom, the offender is given a day's supply of dried meat, a hunting knife, and a full waterskin. They are set loose on foot in the night and the tribe rests up for the next day's hunt. As soon as the sun rises, the tribe sets off in pursuit of the &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;. They are hunted for three days. If they are found, they are killed. If they survive, the tribe no longer pursues them, but they are no longer welcomed back and would be killed on sight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If a &lt;i&gt;busaghur&lt;/i&gt;'s hunting companion is found to be in leagues with them in their betrayal, they are held for a week and then also given a trial by hunting. If they are not, they still end up bearing the shame of their partner's betrayal, and are brought down to the rank of &lt;i&gt;baghur&lt;/i&gt; with little to no hope of ever ascending the ranks again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial.

However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves.

If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

Likewise, despite how skilled of a hunter they might be, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; will never surpass more than middling social rank, and certainly never ascend to leadership. Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat, even after the lowest ranking and least capable of the Qulaani.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

It is not a caste-like structure, where one is born into a role with no chance of advancement (with few exceptions). Nor is ranking hereditary from one's parents. It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe. Each Qulaani must earn their rank within the tribe and, through enough hard work, skill, and determination, can improve their social standing relative to their peers. Finally of note, ranking is often shared by hunting companions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There are seven types of rank in the Qulaani hierarchy.

There is also one more &quot;rank&quot; of sorts, called the &lt;i&gt;Busaghur&lt;/i&gt; (Exiled), whom are exiled from the tribe.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DARUGHUR: Tribal Leader&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading One'&lt;/i&gt;. The &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; is the single-most important and powerful individual within the tribe. While they may delegate some lesser decisions to the &lt;i&gt;bilighuri&lt;/i&gt; or the &lt;i&gt;aughuri&lt;/i&gt;, the final say in everything is theirs and theirs alone. All tribe members are required to show due reverence and respect for them and their hunting partner, who is given the title &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; (lit. &lt;i&gt;'Leading Companion'&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;There is no sex discrimination in Qulaani leadership; either a woman or a man may take the role of &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt;, provided that they first achieve at least the rank of &lt;i&gt;aughur&lt;/i&gt; and then prove themselves capable enough to successfully challenge the previous leader during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;. These challenges are not to the death, and defeated &lt;i&gt;darughuri&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;darukhani&lt;/i&gt; are simply demoted down to the next rank of &lt;i&gt;bilighur&lt;/i&gt;.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf. Thus, they readily claim wolves as kinsmen, and any harm against them is one of the ultimate taboos worthy of exile and hunting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[FIGURE(S) NAME]], aspect or role.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; -- &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; --&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;VALUES AND TABOOS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;STRENGTH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani place a high value on strength, as a hunter who is not strong is a hunter who falls in a hunt or, even worse, starves when they cannot provide for themselves. Strength in a hunt pleases their goddess.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial.

If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses.

They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another.

If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves.

If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation.

It is instead a system that is based on one's hunting skill and experience, strength in battle, their cunning and wisdom, and their loyalty to the tribe.

In such a case, the highest ranking of the &lt;i&gt;bilighuri&lt;/i&gt; -- oftentimes a previously defeated &lt;i&gt;darughur&lt;/i&gt; themselves -- ascends as temporary leader until a trial can be held, in which any interested &lt;i&gt;aughuri&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;bilighuri&lt;/i&gt; can compete for the role.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaan, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial.

However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves.

If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues.

Likewise, despite how skilled of a hunter they might be, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; will never surpass more than middling social rank, and certainly never ascend to leadership. Finally, in times of famine or hardship, &lt;i&gt;ghadaghuri&lt;/i&gt; will always be the last to eat, even after the lowest ranking and least capable of the Qulaani.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful. Only the worst sort of traitor would be refused this rite.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe.

While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years.

However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together.

If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on.

The same goes for those who fall sick, as long as the sickness isn't communicable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;However, for those who are born weak or ill, they also occupy a very low rung on the Qulaani social ladder. They are protected and cared for, but much like the omega wolf in a pack, they may take the brunt of their stronger, more dominant peers' anger and frustrations from time to time. It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OUTSIDERS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;On very rare occasion, the Qulaani will allow an outsider to join their ranks as a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; (Lit.

As to be expected, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; is not given a Qulaani hunting partner, and thus no has no breeding right. Likewise, despite how skilled of a hunter they might be, a &lt;i&gt;ghadaghur&lt;/i&gt; will never surpass more than middling social rank, and certainly never ascend to leadership.

The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful. Only the worst sort of traitor would be refused this rite.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;79%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Life of a Qulaani=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIFE OF A QULAANI&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH &amp; CHILD REARING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a child is born into the tribe, it is generally a cause for great celebration. A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader.

However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues. The same goes for those who fall sick, as long as the sickness isn't communicable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;However, for those who are born weak or ill, they also occupy a very low rung on the Qulaani social ladder. They are protected and cared for, but much like the omega wolf in a pack, they may take the brunt of their stronger, more dominant peers' anger and frustrations from time to time. It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience. Even if they cannot hunt, the social status in the tribe that they have earned during their youth typically does not fade.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;DEATH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;When a Qulaani tribesman passes, the tribe places the body upon a large funeral pyre and surrounds them with their weapon(s) and the armor that they typically wore. As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful. Only the worst sort of traitor would be refused this rite.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues. The same goes for those who fall sick, as long as the sickness isn't communicable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;However, for those who are born weak or ill, they also occupy a very low rung on the Qulaani social ladder. They are protected and cared for, but much like the omega wolf in a pack, they may take the brunt of their stronger, more dominant peers' anger and frustrations from time to time. It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;THE WEAK, INJURED, AND INFIRM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Despite being a tribe that places such a high value on hunting and fighting, the Qulaan still take care of their own, even if they are unable to take care of themselves. Especially given the nature of their ways, injuries that can ruin a tribe member's ability to hunt are common. If the injury isn't so severe and extensive enough to warrant a mercy killing, the injured hunter will often take up duties back at the tribe's camp, such as caring for children, tending to food, repairing weapons and armor, and so on. Likewise, they may be even more driven to have children at this point, to make sure their bloodline continues. The same goes for those who fall sick, as long as the sickness isn't communicable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;However, for those who are born weak or ill, they also occupy a very low rung on the Qulaani social ladder. They are protected and cared for, but much like the omega wolf in a pack, they may take the brunt of their stronger, more dominant peers' anger and frustrations from time to time. It isn't typically a constant cruelty, but they can certainly feel the weight of their station. They lack breeding rights, have little voice in tribe matters, are the last to receive food and supplies, and they are often relegated the least desirable jobs about camp, such as cleaning up after the horses and gathering firewood.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For the Qulaan, living to old age is something of a rarity. The tribe considers anyone over their fortieth nameday past their prime for bearing children. However, most still continue hunting until they are physically unable to do so. Those who do reach elevated ages after a successful youth, even once they lose their ability to keep hunting, retire to running the camp and assisting the tribal leader in making important decisions with the wisdom of their age and experience.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the hunter is irreparably shamed and part of their soul is consumed by that which preys upon them. As such, with the soul incomplete, one is unable to be reincarnated. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part in their funerary rites, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai and win her favor is not ensured reincarnation. In Qulaani culture, to not give a person proper burial is beyond disrespectful.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy. They are not allowed mating rights, possess minimal influence, and are mostly charged with day-to-day chores while the rest of the tribe is hunting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTING COMPANIONS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A Qulaani hunter who passes their coming of age trial becomes eligible for mating rights, though their mate is selectively chosen for them by the tribe's leader. The leader makes these selections based on the two individuals' strengths and weaknesses. This act of selective breeding is meant to strengthen the tribe as a whole, as it is believed that this will help to breed out certain weaknesses and accentuate a pair's strengths in their children.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting companions, referred to as &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; in Qulaani, spend the vast majority of their time together. They hunt together, live together, eat together, train together. One's &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to become their most trusted partner, as these pairings are life long bonds that not even death is supposed to break. While they are not necessarily expected to develop a romantic love for one another, they are still expected to complete their duty to the tribe and beat children together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;A partner will not always be readily available as soon as one passes their trial. In this case, they may have to wait until another person suitable for them passes their trial. As a result, &lt;i&gt;arukhani&lt;/i&gt; ages may be separated by a few years. However, if long enough time passes with no prospects for a match, the unfortunate tribe member may be fated to not take a hunting partner at all and lose out on mating rights and social status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;In the case of the death of a hunting partner, the surviving hunter is generally not paired up with another. However, on rare occasions if there are a number of unpaired tribe mates of prime reproductive age, the tribal leader may make an exception and pair these individuals together. However, the pair must undertake a hunting trial together. If the results of their hunt together are unsatisfactory, the pairing will be undone and the two individuals will have to remain unpaired or be paired with another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;OLD AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once a child reaches their fifteenth nameday, they are ready to undertake their coming of age trial. They come before the tribal leader and ask to be given a trial to prove themselves, in the manner that Itakh once petitioned the goddess Balanai. If the tribal leader believes them to be ready, he will assign them a challenge: typically something that plays to their strengths, but will challenge them considerably. Examples include hunting certain creatures or tracking a particularly elusive beast to its lair. Other challenges may be more abstract, providing the child with a trial of the mind, survival, or resourcefulness.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Once this trial is completed successfully, the child is deemed a fully fledged member of the tribe and is able to take a suitable hunting partner, as assigned to them by the tribe's leader. If the trial is unsuccessful, the child must wait a full cycle to be able to petition the leader once again. They are given a maximum of three trials. If all three result in failure, the individual is not removed, but they are relegated to the bottom of the social hierarchy. They are not allowed mating rights, possess minimal influence, and are mostly charged with day-to-day chores while the rest of the tribe is hunting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;HUNTING COMPANIONS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen.

A mother will be attended during birth by a number of other women from the tribe, typically others who have had children of their own, as well as her hunting partner. Children are not immediately given names, as it is believed to be bad luck, and are instead referred to as Nergui ('&lt;i&gt;No Name&lt;/i&gt;') . Instead, they wait until the first &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; after the child is born. The only exception is if the child is born during a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; itself, which is an extremely auspicious sign. Children born during the full moon generally have names somehow relating to the moon, reflecting this. Despite what day the child is actually born on, the day they receive their true name is the day they claim as their nameday going forth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The first few moons after a child is born, the baby will stay with its mother while the father attends to the pair's tribal duties. He also makes sure to provide and take care of his hunting partner and child, though the rest of the tribe also assists in this. After the child is weaned, child care becomes more of a communal effort. During this time, they begin learning about their tribal responsibilities and skills. They're taught how to track, hunt, and fight. As they are learning, the children are watched and judged carefully by the older tribal members, to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. Not only does this help shape the direction of their training and learning as they continue to grow, but it also helps the tribal leader decide how to pair the children once they come of age.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;COMING OF AGE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

Strength in a hunt pleases their goddess.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Customs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CUSTOMS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BIRTH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

A former member of a small, now defunct tribe known for its exceptional prowess in hunting, she has since turned her skill in tracking down and pursuing her quarry into a marketable skill. Her thirst for increasingly thrilling, challenging hunts first saw her wandering freely across Othard chasing man and beast alike for many years. However, with the increasing Garlean presence in her homeland making the hunt nigh impossible, she has since been forced to retreat to Eorzea like many of her ilk. Now residing primarily in Ul'dah, Jaliqai is finding that the quarry that pulls the most coin in the Jewel of the Desert, along with its own host of challenges and dangers, is information.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Jaliqai is tall for a female Au Ra with a sturdy physique ([http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Reference NSFW]) that belies much training and conditioning of her body, as is common of Qulaan stock bred, raised, and trained for a life of endless hunting and sport. Her skin is dark and dusky in color, though her lustrous black scales and the numerous, varied scars accrued over her hunting career still stand out in stark contrast. She has the look of someone who takes great pride in their looks, with her neat and well-kept appearance when out and about. Her face is almost always made up, lips and the corners of her bright golden eyes painted red like the ends of her neatly cut, short black hair. Likewise, she seems to spare little expense when it comes to her clothing, and even less where her armor and weaponry are concerned.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;Blunt. Capricious. &lt;i&gt;Predatory.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai's personality is one that some may very well find to be off-putting, with her often sharp tongue and her penchant for saying exactly what is on her mind with little to no concern for the feelings of others. There is no beating around the bush or sweet sugarcoating of words with this Xaela. She's also possessed of a terribly mercurial temperament, her mood changing at the drop of a hat. One moment she could be all grins and laughter, and the next could see her turn surly and aggressive. However, her predatory nature tends to stick out most of all. She tends to watch people and judge them as a beast would its prey, calculating motives, sizing them up, gathering information. Still, despite her recent lone wandering, her upbringing has left her with a deep sense of loyalty and a natural orientation towards functioning in a group. Once one does manage the task of earning her respect, she's a fierce ally to have at one's back and would hunt any that do them harm to the ends of the world and back. Those who prove themselves worthy of leadership will find themselves with a subordinate who is surprisingly good at following orders and getting jobs done. <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hunting.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing is quite as thrilling to Jaliqai as the chase. The bigger, nastier, or the more elusive the mark, the better.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learning about people.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai likes to know as much as possible about the people around her. Between jobs, she's often found observing or chatting with others, trying to get a read on them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whiskey.&lt;/b&gt; The Xaela enjoys the taste of hard liquor, whiskey above all. She usually has at least one glass of an evening, to help her slip into a more relaxed, dreamless sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Garleans.&lt;/b&gt; After the events that led to the destruction of her tribe so many cycles past, Jaliqai has a deep hatred for Garleans and their magitek.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weakness.&lt;/b&gt; Strength was highly valued in her upbringing, and as such, Jaliqai has a distaste for weakness shown in herself or others.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Betrayal.&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty was one of the utmost virtues of the Qulaan tribe. She absolutely cannot abide her own trust being betrayed, and doesn't much care for such to happen to others, either.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wine.&lt;/b&gt; Nothing about wine pleases Jaliqai, whether sweet, dry, fruity, or floral. Not to mention that the alcohol content is far below her liking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyal.&lt;/b&gt; Once someone does manage to earn her trust, Jaliqai is a deeply and unwaveringly loyal, protective ally.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Observant.&lt;/b&gt; There's not much that succeeds in escaping this woman's sharp notice when she's paying attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multilingual.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai speaks her native Xaelan dialect and the Common tongue fluently, and can hold her own in Doman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stubborn.&lt;/b&gt; Once she has her mind set on something, it is extremely difficult for her to change it, even if she's proven wrong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Aetheric Capacity.&lt;/b&gt; Jaliqai doesn't have much in the way of personal aetheric capacity. She cannot cast, and aetheric travel is difficult for her. She has to be touching an aetheryte to use teleportation magics, and even then it severely exhausts her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emotionally Distant.&lt;/b&gt; Due to events of her distant and not-so-distant past, not to mention her line of work, Jaliqai has a hard time opening up to others and forming close relationships past the surface level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CURRENT INVENTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a list of the items that Jaliqai currently is keeping on her person.

Sweet of taste, potent, and fast-acting, it renders the afflicted completely unable to move and induces an almost drowning-like sensation. Effect lasts for a few hours, but as long as proper dosage is followed, is non-lethal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ::* &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antidote:&lt;/b&gt; In addition to the paralyzing potion, Jaliqai also requested an antidote from Akay'a. While it works just as fast to counteract the effects of his paralyzing potion, it can also be just as deadly when too much is consumed at once, causing the heart to stop. Side effects include mild to severe muscle cramping. She is currently carrying one dosage on her person, tested to be the exact right amount for someone of her size.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4b1414;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Face Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/129739690715/that-moment-when-you-chance-upon-a-perfect-face Nargis Amelina] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [http://jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com/post/128741991815/finally-found-a-reference-for-jaliqais-body-type Natalia Karandashova] (NSFWish).&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Voice Claim&lt;/b&gt;: [https://www.facebook.com/uyangamusic/posts/766204770167005 Uyanga Bold].&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Qulaan Tribe=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;TRIBE OVERVIEW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#c91919;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; family=&quot;Georgia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE QULAAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; were one of the lesser Xaela tribes that roamed far and wide across the continent of Othard, often referred to as the &lt;b&gt;Wolves of the Steppe&lt;/b&gt; by other Xaela tribes and Othardian peoples alike. Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. Their movements and resources restricted, it took a good deal of time to adjust. Yet eventually, the ever-adapting tribe managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' ire. Still discontent remained, only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly eight years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, most likely Kharlu or Jhungid, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? A hunt went terribly wrong?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ORIGIN MYTH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;According to Qulaani legend, the tribe claims the favor of the goddess of hunting, Balanai. It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/p&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- &lt;i&gt;wolf people&lt;/i&gt;, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;NOTABLE HISTORIC EVENTS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Though ultimately her skills skewed more towards the hunt and pursuit of prey itself rather than battle, she is still a very much capable fighter. Her small frame and lightness on her feet make her naturally more agile, quick, and balanced. However, muscle wrought from years of training, fighting, and careful maintenance ensure that when she needs to don heavier armor and weaponry, she has the necessary strength to wield them by sacrificing some of that natural speed. The Xaela does best when she is in a fight with at least one partner at her back. While she can hold her own when by herself, it's far from comfortable or natural for her, and can sometimes lead to thoughtless mistakes on her behalf.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;GREATSWORD&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GREATSWORD&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The greatsword is Jaliqai's preferred weapon in the hunt of beasts, and the weapon type that she most often used while still living on the steppes. It is sharp and powerful when wielded correctly, and its long reach keeps her firmly out of the reach of grasping claws and snapping jaws. In recent times, she has begun to use the weapon less, finding its bulk too inconvenient within the city's walls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DAGGERS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DAGGERS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daggerplay is something Jaliqai picked up only after the loss of her tribe and the beginning of her foray into the hunting of men and skulking about cities, as short weapons are not traditional Qulaani weaponry. She's come to like their convenience in tight quarters, not to mention their discreteness. One can assume that Jaliqai almost always has at least one dagger hidden on her person at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;BOW&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BOW&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bow is a respected weapon in Qulaani culture, not to mention her mother's choice of arms, Jaliqai never much favored the weapon. While she does have basic knowledge in its use, she personally sees it more as the type of weapon that she would only use when hunting small game for food, rather than hunting dangerous beasts for sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;ARMOR&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #c99f39;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARMOR&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, Jaliqai tends to keep her armor wearing minimal when she is within city walls, for the sake of ease of movement and convenience. Yet often, she'll at least be found in gauntlets and greaves. If need be, she also has a heavier set of plate and mail armor that she proudly maintains, mostly when she is on the trail of some beast or larger foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;EXPERIENCE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Jaliqai has been a part of.

While the two were never romantic lovers, they were extremely close to one another as hunting companions and parents. While Jaliqai was never quite as close with her father as she was with her mother, both had a hand in raising her -- alongside the rest of the tribe, as was their custom -- and shaping her into the young woman that she became. And that was that. Her childhood into her early adulthood passed with little fanfare or upset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE END OF THE QULAAN&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When Jaliqai was in her twenty-fourth cycle, her previously normal life was ended with the apparently decimation of her tribe. What started as a freak accident when a beloved Auri girl was slain by a trigger-happy Garlean patrol while trying to sneak past and avoid them drove the grief-stricken Qulaani tribe into a reckless push for revenge. They tracked the Garleans back to their encampment and fell upon them with all their fury. However, despite the tribe's fighting prowess, their relatively low numbers and their inability to properly defend against the mightier magitek of the Garleans ultimately spelled their defeat in the chaotic, bloody skirmish that followed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Many died that day. Those who did not, Jaliqai included, were rounded up to be transported back to only the gods know where. Heavily injured and barely clinging to life, Jaliqai finally escaped capture when she pretended to be dead, and was subsequently tossed out unceremoniously onto the roadside with the other Auri that had passed from the extent of their wounds. There, weak and buried in the pile of bodies, she very well might had succumb. However, following a respectable distance behind the Garlean transport was a group of Doman villagers whose lands the soldiers were passing through. Having noticed the trail of Xaela bodies left in their wake and bearing no love for the invaders, these farmers and villagers gathered the fallen hunters and huntresses to properly bury them. It was then that they found Jaliqai, barely alive, and brought her back to their home to nurse her back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Days passed before the woman had recovered enough to be coherent and discover what had happened. She begged the Doman villagers to help her in properly burying her tribemates in their custom, to which they agreed. With the villagers' help, Jaliqai brought the shrouded bodies to the funeral pyre and such for them, alone, until dusk broke to dawn. It was then that she begged them never to speak of what had happened to the Qulaan, to not bring shame and tarnish to their reputation. Once Jaliqai had fully recovered, she knew that she could not continue to live amongst the kind Domans that had taken her in. They were just far too different from her, and the village would never be her home. So, she was given enough supplies to travel and decided to set out to wander, to pursue a new life by herself. It was lonely and difficult for someone who had spent their entire life surrounded by their family. Yet ever determined and hard-headed like her mother, Jaliqai did not give in to despair or self-pity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE WANDERING BOUNTY HUNTER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, she decided to take up a different sort of hunting: bounties. At first, she mostly stuck to the rewards offered for creatures, sticking to those whom she knew she could take down by herself. Yet as she grew more confident, she joined larger jobs that took in a handful of hunters, finding this style of work in a group much more to her liking. Still, they were but temporary arrangements, and after each job was completed, Jaliqai found herself alone once more. Eventually, the offer was extended to her by a contact to join them in the hunt of a human bounty. Never one to turn down a challenge, Jaliqai agreed, and quickly found the work was very much suited to her. She had always been much more of a clever, observant tracker than a true fighter, and such work with her mind resounded strongly with her. Gradually, she began to take less contracts for beasts to focus more heavily on tracking down people, and she saw much success with this across Othard for the next handful of years.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Garlean presence had always left a sour taste in her mouth, especially after what had happened to her family. Yet she had begrudgingly bore the weight and inconvenience of their presence in the land. Yet as time ticked on, she came to find them more and more stifling. Finally, when Doma was razed to the ground, Jaliqai knew that it was time to leave her homeland. Buying passage aboard a refugee vessel, she made the trek across the sea to the continent of Eorzea.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A NEW HOME&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Jaliqai had known truly little about Eorzea when she had first arrived in the land. What bit she had heard came from the mouths of sailors and traders that she had met, or occasional rumors. When she finally set foot in the land, these bits of information had scarcely prepared her for the culture shock. She had it better than most tribal Xaela, she figured, having gained a somewhat more cultured sense in her previous eight cycles spent wandering and learning. Yet still, this was a new land, new people, and new way of life. Not to mention, most of the men and women had never even heard of her kind before, much less laid eyes upon them.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Like many Au Ra that arrived in the initial influx of refugees, Jaliqai took great pains to conceal her more Auri features and to keep her new peers at arm's length. Still, she knew that she had to adjust and adapt to this new land, and hesitated little in trying to work her way back into the bounty hunter's world. It was then that she accepted an open contract and joined onto a job alongside Bayard Bronzeblade, an established and charismatic Highlander who was already fairly established in the Eorzean bounty hunting world. He took leadership of the group and, in particular, took a great interest in the mysterious foreign woman who had come to them alone and looking to prove herself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following six moons' time, Jaliqai and Bayard became increasingly close. He managed to get her to open up more than she did with others, and in exchange, he taught her all that she needed to know about Eorzea, its history, its places, and its people. He introduced her to the contacts that she would need in the bounty hunting world, from her fellow hunters to the secret sellers and everything in between. Yet in the end, realizing how much she had come to care for the man and how such a feeling stirred up a deep sense of guilt inside of her, Jaliqai ultimately decided to leave Bayard's company and strike out into Eorzea on her own.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RECENT HISTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ARRIVAL IN UL'DAH&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As far as coin goes, all roads seem to lead directly to Ul'dah. With that in mind, Jaliqai made the decision to come to the Jewel of the Desert to try her hand at finding work there. It did not take long for the Xaela to learn that the thing people seemed to want tracked down most in the desert was information, not beasts. Realizing that, Jaliqai took up the challenge of a new kind of hunt, and found herself extended acceptance into the Blind Viper soon after. Now, Jaliqai seeks to continue to expand her list of contacts and her reserve of knowledge, and actively claims Ul'dah as her hunting grounds.<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#c91919; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A TRIBE THOUGHT LOST&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While up north to a job in Ishgard with Bayard, Jaliqai eventually learned of rumors that there may yet be other Qulaani hunters that had come to Eorzea. Her curiosity is piqued, but she refuses to let herself feel overly hopeful for fear that the rumors are just that: words.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #c3972d; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #c99f39;font-size:12px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY &amp; TRIBE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Much like her daughter is today, Sechen was a fierce, fiery woman whose words often struck as devastatingly true as her arrows. Yet such parenting was rather typical among the Qulaan, and there was no love lost between mother and daughter because of it. In fact, Jaliqai attributes much of her strength of character to the example her mother provided her growing up. She was also the one that taught her how to use a bow, even if she never did quite learn to handle the weapon as gracefully as Sechen did. Jaliqai has not seen her mother since the events leading to the end of the Qulaan, and as such presumes her dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yesugei Qulaan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;He was the quiet to my mother's storm.

As tradition dictates, the two were also breeding partners, of which Jaliqai was a result. Taking more after her mother, Jaliqai's temperament often put her at odds with her much more reserved, quiet father. However, he did impart a number of valuable lessons on her, eventually managing some success in teaching her the value of closing her mouth and listening. She was never quite as close with Yesugei as she was with Sechen, but naturally, she does still bear the man some familial affection and loyalty. She has also not seen him since the fall of the Qulaan, and assumes he is also deceased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;???&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;siblings&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; ??? &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;---&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of right now, I'm more or less playing Jaliqai as an only child.

These partners grow and train together, hunt together, and are intended to come to trust and know one another completely. It is not necessarily expected that the two grow to love one another romantically. However, it is tradition that they eventually become breeding partners, for the elders place these individuals together with hopes that by pairing those who complement one another's weaknesses, their progeny will gain only their strengths and make the tribe as a whole stronger. (For more details and explanations, check out the lore under the 'Qulaan Tribe' tab here or contact me in-game.)&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, as Jaliqai only left the Qulaan in adulthood, she naturally had a hunting partner when she was still a part of the tribe. For now, I'm hand-waving this a bit as something she simply doesn't mention or bring up, assuming that he is dead. However, if someone were to be interested in this role, please speak to me OOCly. I can be a little picky since this is a role that will highly affect my character and her development, and I would only be willing to relinquish it to someone who is serious about playing it and with whom I can get along with well OOCly. But if everything turns out to look like a go, we can talk backstory, names, development, and so on.

He taught her all she knows about the land and its people, helped her form the connections she needed, and so forth.

Feelings that eventually made her decide to leave him in a fit of guilt and a sense of betrayal to her tribe.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a few moons, Bayard contacted Jaliqai again for help with a job up in Ishgard. Those feelings long pushed aside were brought back to the surface and finally acted upon. Yet a betrayal by the man, whether it was born of good intentions or not, has left her unable to trust him again. Part of her still longs for him, thinking of what could have been, but more than anything she feels the hurt and anger at the choices he made. And so she's made her own choice: to cut contact with him altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Berkborn Mharbhrat]], &lt;i&gt;rough-spoken roegadyn&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Berk's good company, especially over drinks.

After a successful bout of skulking around, and another hefty coinpurse later, the red-haired miqo'te seemed pleased with the results and afforded Jaliqai an 'in' to join the Blind Viper.

Despite this, she actually kind of likes it there most of the time, even if it's left her with an insufferable drawl and more than a handful of colorful Southernisms that cause people to scratch their heads when she speaks. She works a nine-to-five job (actually more like eight-to-four-thirty) and so she's not always around or energetic enough for RP, but she still very much enjoys hanging out with other RPers, chatting, and running content in the game even when she isn't feeling the flow of creative juices -- which she also thinks is a very gross-sounding phrase, for the record.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;If you like adorable cats, Game of Thrones, and groan-worthy puns, then chances are, you will get along with her just fine. She also curses like a &lt;s&gt;''fucking''&lt;/s&gt; sailor, so there's that. If you ever want to chat, plot, or just straight up want to get some RP going, send her a tell or a message! She doesn't bite, except when she's hungry.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Finally, he's a grab bag of little side notes that may be of interest to you if you RP with me!&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Jaliqai can be a very abrasive, hostile, sometimes even violent jerkass.'''

Just that she is a very blunt, opinionated individual with a strong personality and a mercurial temper, and she isn't the least bit afraid to tear into people verbally -- or even physically, if the circumstances are extreme enough -- when she's not fond of them for whatever reason. If you're not up for a healthy dose of conflict in your RP, Jaliqai is likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the character for you! But if you can handle that, and can keep in mind that her jerkassness is entirely IC and not OOC, we'll be just peachy!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''I use the 'Looking to Meld Materia' symbol to denote that I'm in character.''' This is especially useful, considering Jaliqai is the type that is content to sit quietly and listen in on conversations, but may not take any action worth repeatedly posting about for a long time. Note that I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; sometimes forget to switch to /LFM, though. So if you ever see me about without it and/or want to RP with me and I've not got it active, feel free to shoot me a /tell to ask if I'm in character or willing to hop over!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I'm very walk-up friendly! If I don't answer a post directed at me, chances are I'm AFK / distracted.''' I'm the world's worst for alt-tabbing or getting distracted by Skype conversations or watching streams on Twitch. So if you see that I'm IC and your post goes unacknowledged, your best bet is to give me a nudge in /tells. Usually the sound is enough to clue me back in, or if I don't answer there, you'll know I'm AFK and will get back to you ASAP!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Don't take it personally if I have to ask for an RP rain check from you.''' I work full time, have other commitments both online and in real life, and sometimes I just &lt;i&gt;need to take a break.&lt;/i&gt; So I'm not always up for RPing. When things get hectic and I have a lot on my plate, I may have to work to try to schedule an RP with you when I know I can make myself available. Other times, I need variation in my RP interactions to keep my muse going, so I might have to politely pass on an offer from you if we've been RPing a lot lately. Sometimes I may just have to take a short break from RPing to recharge, period. So don't take offense if I ask for a rain check! It's never personal. It's just to keep our RP going strong in the long term, and to keep myself from burning out!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''I love making friends and chatting OOCly, but please mind your boundaries!''' I adore talking to other RPers and my RP partners OOCly, even when we're not actively in a scene together. Even if we've never RPed at all. However, &lt;i&gt;please do not mistake my friendliness for forwardness or flirtatiousness.&lt;/i&gt; I am in a relationship and have &lt;i&gt;absolutely no interest&lt;/i&gt; in pursuing OOC relationships of a romantic and/or sexual variety with anyone. If you get too forward with me and won't back off when asked politely, then I won't hesitate to remove myself from your presence.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''ERP for ERP's sake.''' I don't have anything against people who do, or ERP in general. However, it's just not my preferred type of RP interaction. Sexual themes are fine, and scenes of a sexual nature don't bother me as long as there's plot-based and/or character development reasons to play them out. Just know that 90% of the time, I much prefer fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;'''Pre-determine how characters will feel about one another, ''including'' planning romances.''' In my experience, it just doesn't work and leads to many hurt feelings. Jaliqai is her own person, and even though I may absolutely adore your characters OOCly, she may despise them ICly. And sometimes, for whatever reason, characters just don't have chemistry. So I'll promise nothing as far as &quot;We should make them be best friends!&quot; or &quot;They should fall in love with each other!&quot;. The &lt;i&gt;only exception&lt;/i&gt; to this would be setting up pre-existing background story relationships.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;'''Consent to death, permanent disfigurement, long-term captivity, or other drastic character changes without prior OOC discussion.''' That isn't to say that I'm not at all open to these things. It just means that I ask you to politely give me an OOC heads up before these scenarios arise. Chances are, if it serves in a plot or character development or is a believable consequence of Jali's IC actions, I'll consent. But I'm not here to entertain your snuff, torture, and power fetishes.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #c99f39;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plot with others.&lt;/b&gt; Got an idea for how you think our characters can interact? A plot that you think Jaliqai might fit into? Or just want to RP and want to try to come up with some kind of meeting that isn't just bumping into one another at the Quicksand? I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; plotting! Just don't get plotting scenarios for them to interact confused with pre-planning relationships, as mentioned in my 'Will Nots'.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Engage in mature-themed roleplay (MRP).&lt;/b&gt; I have a very high tolerance for all things mature-themed and a love for the gritty, dark, and dramatic. This includes elements of sexuality, violence, drug use, psychological games, and any combination of the aforementioned. Feel free to engage in these sorts of themes with me, as there's nothing I find particularly 'triggering' or uncomfortable. Do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; confuse this with random, non-plot ERP, however, which I've already stated is not my scene.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect others' triggers, limits, and boundaries.&lt;/b&gt; Not everyone is as comfortable with all subject matter as I am, and so I'm 110% willing to respect your boundaries. That said, since Jaliqai is definitely more of a mature themed character, &lt;i&gt;please be proactively communicative with me about what makes you uncomfortable and where you draw the lines.&lt;/i&gt; While I generally try to ask or warn people OOCly beforehand if Jali is about to do something drastic, I can't account for everything and sometimes I do make mistakes. I can't properly avoid a pitfall if you never tell me it's there!&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #420707;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OTHER LINKS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Jaliqai's Character Development &amp; Inspiration Blog...&lt;/b&gt; [http://www.jaliqai-the-red.tumblr.com HERE].

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts.

Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

Strength in a hunt pleases their goddess.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important. Qulaani who cannot change with their changing environment do not survive in the tribe for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;CRUELTY&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Hunting is not only a means of survival for the Qulaan, but is also a matter of religious worship.

The celebrations span over a week, and the competitions test the members' skills and talents. Three competitions always occur: sparring to test one another's strength, archery to showcase one's aim, and the release of a sacrificial doe in the woods to see who is quickest in tracking it down. However, other competitions tend to crop up over the week as well, on anything from horseback riding to dancing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;While most of these competitions are friendly and in good spirit, &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt; also serves as a chance for one to officially improve their ranking within the tribe by showing their strength, abilities, and skill. Likewise, the only time a tribe member may officially challenge the current tribal leader for dominance is during the final day of &lt;i&gt;Naghadum&lt;/i&gt;.

There are four seasonal hunts, each with a name of its own: &lt;i&gt;qabursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Spring), &lt;i&gt;junsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Summer), &lt;i&gt;namursi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Autumn), and &lt;i&gt;ebülsi abala&lt;/i&gt; (Winter). With each changing of the season, the Qulaani prepare for a new hunting season, the change in weather and temperature changing the types of prey that they pursue. Shortly after the change of the season, the tribe will gather together and set out to find impressive prey to take down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;If they are successful, they celebrate as they dress the game, and offer up the first, most choice cut of meat, called &lt;i&gt;degeji&lt;/i&gt;, in sacrifice to Balanai. The rest of the meat is portioned out to the rest of the tribe, starting from the top of the hierarchy, as its consumption is said to bring strength and good fortune hunting. Every part of the animal is used, whether its hide turned into leather or clothing, bone turned to weapon, or even just a claw or tooth kept as a small trophy. Conversely, if the hunt goes poorly, it is said to be an omen for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, the best parts of the game will be left in offering, which can put strains on an already difficult hunting season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FULL MOON: Qulasar&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'The Wolf's Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect.

The tribe also feasts that evening and wine and &lt;i&gt;aireg&lt;/i&gt;, fermented mare's milk, flow freely. It is said that any child born during the celebration of a &lt;i&gt;Qulasar&lt;/i&gt; will be especially blessed and grow into a very strong hunter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NEW YEAR: Tsagaansari&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lit. &lt;i&gt;'White Moon'&lt;/i&gt; in the Qulaani dialect. The tribe celebrates the new year one month after the first new moon after the winter solstice. In the days leading up to this time, the Qulaan focus on preparing sacrificial offerings: choice cuts of meat, figures carved from bone, items made from fur or leather. During &lt;i&gt;Tsagaansari&lt;/i&gt;, these are offered up to the Dusk Mother, Balanai, Itakh and Asena, and finally, to the tribe's fallen. Considering this falls during winter when the hunting is typically more difficult and resources more scarce, this is a very solemn act of sacrifice and worship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Culture=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;CULTURE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;LANGUAGES &amp; WRITING&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

Strength in a hunt pleases their goddess.

While some may not be possessed of physical strength, the tribe also realizes that one must be clever and intelligent when tracking and strategizing how to approach a hunt.

The Xaela view themselves as top predators, and so to become prey to another creature or person is the ultimate shame.

However, instead of wandering a set territory as some do, the tribe wanders far and wide across the continent, across varying places and climes, just to follow the Hunt. As such, adaptability is supremely important.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

In their creation myth, it is said that Balanai far favored wolves over the Xaela people and claimed them as her followers instead of the Auri. However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf. Thus, they readily claim wolves as kinsmen, and any harm against them is one of the ultimate taboos worthy of exile and hunting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[FIGURE(S) NAME]], aspect or role.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; -- &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; --&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;VALUES AND TABOOS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;STRENGTH&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

In their creation myth, it is said that Balanai far favored wolves over the Xaela people and claimed them as her followers instead of the Auri. However, her favor was eventually won over by the strength, fierceness, and loyalty of an Auri man raised by wolves, and the Qulaan tribe was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To this day, however, the Qulaani still view Balanai and a fickle goddess whose favor needs to be constantly won by engaging in challenging hunts and due reverence and worship.

Itakh was an abandoned Xaela boy who was raised by wolves, and grew to seek Balanai's acceptance. Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe. Moved by his sacrifice, Balanai brought Asena back to life as a Xaela woman to be Itakh's mate and gave them her blessing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Itakh and Asena serve as ancestral spirits to the Qulaani people. They are the reason that the tribe claims to have wolf's blood running through their veins. Hunting partners will often make offerings to these spirits before departing on a hunt together, asking for their guidance, strength, and good fortune. Likewise, tribal leaders will often pray to them, as they were the first leaders of the tribe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Wolves]], brethren.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; Brethren to the Qulaani.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; Loyalty.

They embody the ideals of their lifestyle: loyalty to one another, fierceness in battle, intelligence and cunning, efficiency and deadliness in the hunt. They also are Balanai's favored creatures, the first that she claimed as her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to believe that they are possessed of wolf's blood, it is also part of Qulaani belief that a fallen hunter whose trophies and hunts have pleased Balanai will be reincarnated as a wolf. Thus, they readily claim wolves as kinsmen, and any harm against them is one of the ultimate taboos worthy of exile and hunting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[FIGURE(S) NAME]], aspect or role.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domain:&lt;/b&gt; -- &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Associations:&lt;/b&gt; --&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;VALUES AND TABOOS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;60%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;VALUE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land.

However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani have several figures that they worship, including gods, ancestral spirits, and creatures that they hold sacred.

Asena was a she-wolf that he had been raised alongside who accompanied him on the challenge that Balanai issued to him. The two developed a deep love for one another during their travels. At the climax of the hunt, Asena was killed. Sacrificing his opportunity to complete the goddess' challenge, Itakh instead brought the she-wolf's body back to the goddess and begged her to return her to life in exchange for his departure from the tribe.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own.

Known for their exceptional prowess in tracking and bringing down prey, much like the wolves that they claim as brethren, the Qulaan revered the Hunt above all else. Never lingering in one place for too long, this tightly knit group of Auri trackers and warriors followed wherever the promise of worthy quarry led them. Yet the constant danger of their pursuits as well as the occasional brushes with larger, hostile Xaela tribes tended to keep their numbers small with little growth. Despite this, the cunning tribe compensated for their lacking numbers with traditions meant to breed and raise even stronger stock, keeping their bloodlines going for generation upon generation. Paired with their willingness to interact with, learn from, and trade with outsiders, the pack remained strong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As the Garleans began to appear with frequency in Othard with the continent's subjugation in the year 1521, the Qulaan found their hunts and way of life stifled by these foreign invaders, as many other Xaela tribes did. It took them a good deal of time to adjust to the restriction in movement and availability of resources. Yet eventually, the tribe -- which had always placed a high value on adaptability and survival -- managed to learn how to carry on, finding ways to continue living and hunting without drawing the Garleans' attention nor ire. Still discontent remained, as it was wont to do, with only the barest of begrudging tolerance for the inconvenient presence given.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Roughly nine years ago, the other tribes, villages, and cities that the Qulaan regularly interacted and traded with began to notice the tribe's marked absence. After a few moons, rumors began to spread that the tribe was no longer. No one quite knew for certain what had happened to the Wolves of the Steppe, yet myriad theories were put forth. Some believed that the tribe had turned in on itself, erupting in battle that left them fragmented and easy pickings. Others suspected that another larger tribe, such as the Adarkim, subjugated and assimilated them into their ranks. Or maybe an attack by a hostile Dotharl tribe, who destroyed them as they did the Hotgo? Perhaps a hunt went terribly wrong, even?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Whatever the case, even if the circumstances were unknown, one thing was: the proud hunters were no more. For cycles afterwards, the once glowing reputation of the Qulaani continued to fade as they were forgotten. Yet with the recent mass exodus from Othard to Eorzea, surprising whispers have begun to crop up of Qulaani hunters roaming these new lands. However, it remains to be seen if there is any truth to be found in these words, or if they're just words invoking the ghosts of a tribe lost.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;UPDATE LOG&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; cellspacing=25 width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;width:50%;padding-right:10px; font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;October 2nd, 2015:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Page created.

It is said that in the beginning, when the Dusk Mother created the Xaela, the other gods and goddesses took great interest in Her creation. Some even squabbled over which they would claim as their own, to teach them of their ways and to follow them. Yet the fair-haired, fair-skinned hunting goddess thought little of them with their brutish fighting and the irreverent ways in which they hunted, and instead gave her favor to the wolves that wandered the lands. To her, wolves were creatures even more perfect than the Mother's creation, with their cunning intelligence, deep loyalty to one another, and the fierceness with which they hunted their prey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;So much did Balanai adore wolves that she claimed a particularly strong and wise she-wolf as her own hunting companion. On one of their hunts together, the goddess and her companion crossed the path of an young Xaela child, injured and abandoned by his tribe. Weak and small, the boy would have made for easy prey. Yet as Balanai lifted her bow to end his lone suffering, the she-wolf came forth and wrapped her body around the child, protecting him. Reluctantly, Balanai spared the boy and allowed the wolf to return with him to her pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The she-wolf nursed the abandoned boy back to health, raising him as she would her own, giving him the name of Itakh. As time passed, the she-wolf taught the Xaela how to hunt, to be loyal, to be clever. He came to claim the wolves that he lived among as his family, as they did him. Yet even as they accepted him, Balanai still held a deep reluctance to acknowledge him and give him her favor. In her eyes, he was still but a man unworthy of her, not at all like the creatures that she held so dear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;As Itakh grew into a young man, he sought out Balanai to ask her to allow him to prove himself to her. The goddess agreed, and gave him the challenge to prove his hunting prowess to her by hunting down an elusive and strong tiger by the name of Khalja, whom even Balanai herself had tried and failed to hunt. She would allow him to take with him one companion of his choosing. If he could subdue the tiger and return proof to her of his successful hunt, Balanai would grant him with her favor. Yet should he fail, she warned him, he would be forced to leave the pack. Unafraid, Itakh accepted the terms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;For his hunt, Itakh brought with him a she-wolf by the name of Asena whom he had been raised alongside. Together, the two set out on a journey that spanned many moons, taking them across the land from the lowest valleys to the highest mountain tops. Over such a long time, through the many trials and dangers that tested them, the two developed a deep love for one another. And so, when they finally managed to find Khalja's lair, both were elated and more determined than ever to prove themselves and the bond that they had grown to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Confronting the tiger, a fierce and bloody battle ensued. Suns passed as both Xaela and wolf fought with all their might, giving chase each time the tiger made attempts to retreat and confuse them. Finally, when all were at their limit, the final battle commenced. Neither side seemed to give even an ilm until one misstep by the tired, injured she-wolf saw her pinned beneath the beast's crushing weight. With an angered, distressed howl, Itakh flung himself at Khalja and buried his spear deep into the tiger's heart. Yet as quick as he was to come to her aide, it was too late, the wolf succumbing to her injuries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Injured as he was, the Xaela was forced to choose between his prize and his companion, unable to carry both back to the goddess. Yet as he came before Balanai, instead of the proof of Khalja's slaying that she had instructed him to bring, he instead laid Asena's broken body at her feet, weeping and howling in grief for her. As he explained how they had fought and brought Khalja low, he begged the goddess to return Asena to life and he would gladly leave the pack.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Impressed by his persistence, cunning, and strength, as well as deeply moved by his loyalty and sacrifice, Balanai agreed to return Asena to life as a Xaela woman so that she and Itakh might live together as both hunting companions and mates. Likewise, the goddess finally agreed to give him her favor, as long as he agreed to teach his children and his people their ways. He agreed, and swore that he and his offspring would continue to appease her with many trophies of their glorious hunts. Thus, from the union of Itakh and Asena, the tribe of Qulaan -- wolf people, in their tongue -- was born under Balanai's auspices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENTS&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot; size=2px;&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th A.E., Year 1521 . . .&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Garleans invade Othard.

While the wandering hunting tribe disappeared from the steppes roughly nine cycles past, where they went and what happened to them is largely a matter of speculation. Theories have ranged from in-fighting to a hunt gone wrong. Others believe that they may have been massacred by a hostile tribe or absorbed into a larger one. Others still claim sickness or plague. All agree, however, that the way the tribe managed to disappear without a trace is highly strange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The truth of their disappearance, however, is known to but a few. It began with an accident, when a much beloved tribesmate of the Qulaan and her hunting partner were trying to sneak past a Garlean patrol with whom their paths intersected. One misstep saw the men startled and shots fired, leaving the Auri woman dead. Her partner escaped and brought her home, where the tribe was struck with a deep grief that moved them to foolishly seek revenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani tracked the patrol back to their encampment and caught the soldiers by surprise in the night. While the initial shock of the attack seemed to swing in their favor, the rebound and counter-attack from the Garleans quickly overwhelmed them with superior fire power and armor. The fighting swiftly turned massacre, yet by the time the tribe realized their foolishness, they were unable to retreat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Many of the Qulaani died in the ill-fated assault. Yet those who were captured or found clinging to life were rounded up and placed in the backs of transport vehicles. Medical treatment wasn’t generally rendered and scarcely any food or drink afforded to the prisoners. Those that perished along the way were dropped unceremoniously on the roadside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those who survived the trip were taken back to Garlemald, where their fates would be decided by the leaders: whether they would be put to death for their attack, or if there was some way for the Xaela hunters to be used by the Empire. From that point on, what became of the tribe remains questionable. Whether the survivors were executed or somehow inducted into the military, even fewer know.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Those precious few who are privy to the knowledge of the tribe's fate have remained tight-lipped over the years. Perhaps the surviving tribe members of the horrid event were struck by fear of being hunted down, one by one without the safety of a tribe, by Garlean soldiers. Perhaps the Garleans themselves were either ashamed or wary to admit that a small tribe managed to get the jump on them, for fear of encouraging other groups to do the same. As for anyone else, it's likely reluctance to involve themselves in the battles of another.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;A TRIBE SCATTERED, A NEW HUNTING GROUND&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;It has been roughly nine cycles since the Qulaani last wandered the Othardian steppes in search of worthy hunts. Their way of life has become a thing of stories and legends, if not a fading memory of a people that are now -- mysteriously -- all but gone. Yet with the mass migration to Eorzea, curious rumors have begun to pop up here and there across this new land. Whispers of scattered Qulaani hunters have started to trickle to the surface, though they've yet to prove truthful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Religion &amp; Beliefs=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELIGION &amp; BELIEFS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;BELIEF SYSTEM&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The Qulaani, like most other Xaela, hold the Dusk Mother as the creator goddess of the Xaela and thus treat her with all due reverence and worship. However, they also believe in the existence of lesser gods and goddesses, such as Azim and Nhama. In particular, they claim the favor of the goddess of hunting, whom they call Balanai, and revere her as the goddess who essentially created their tribe. While the Qulaan do not scorn the other lesser gods and sometimes even offer up prayers and offerings to them when appropriate, it is their devotion and avid desire to please the Goddess of the Hunt that drives their entire lifestyle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Across the world in Eorzea, the Qulaani may have also begun to form opinions about the Twelve. While there is no general tribal consensus due to the currently scattered nature of the tribe, it is quite likely that the Qulaani view them in the same light as the other lesser gods and goddesses of the Xaela: they do exist and are due moderate respect and reverence, particularly when entering their domain of influence. Whether or not this remains true for all displaced Qulaani, or if they may have adapted to a more Eorzean way of life and taken up a new patron god, remains to be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⁅&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;‹&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#dbbe13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;⧫&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;›&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;⁆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;GODS, SPIRITS, AND SACRED CREATURES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As day gives way to dusk, the pyre is lit and the remaining hunters gather around it to sing the customary grieving songs in their native dialect. These beautifully haunting melodies sound much like the solemn howling of wolves, and beseech their goddess of hunting, Balanai, to accept the offered trophies in her glory and to return the hunter to life as a wolf. After the flames die down, a part of the ashes are collected and the deceased’s hunting partner will mark their face with the ashes for the next moon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;The tribe takes funerary rites and cremation extremely seriously, as it is believed that if a body is preyed upon by another creature – whether through lack of burial or underground burial itself – the Qulaani hunter is irreparably shamed. Likewise, a hunter’s trophies play a vital part, as a Qulaani cremated without proper offering to appease Balanai is not ensured reincarnation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =Intertribal &amp; Non-tribal Relations=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Intertribal &amp; Non-Tribal Relations&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;FRIENDLY TRIBES&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

She was heavily injured in the fighting, but managed to survive. She escaped Garlean capture by playing dead, thrown out with the rest of the discarded bodies. After being nursed back to health by the Doman farmers that found her on the roadside, Jaliqai struck out on her own. She put her skills as a Qulaani tracker and hunter to use, taking up creature culling and bounty hunting with a good deal of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more recent times, she has relocated to Eorzea with the rest of the mass Othardian exodus after the razing of Doma. Up until recently, she thought herself the only survivor of the ill-fated attack, yet has heard rumors that others of her kin may just be wandering these new lands as she is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Put new entries above this line--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or role&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; SYMBOLS GO HERE &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character's Quote:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short character bio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =Joining &amp; Character Creation=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #3a2d2d;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;JOINING &amp; CHARACTER CREATION&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;font-size:16px;color:#544141; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;◢▮▮▮ &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#ba1414;&quot;&gt;JOINING THE TRIBE&lt;/font&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ▮▮▮◣&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 8px; table-layout: fixed;&quot; width=&quot;85%&quot; cellspacing=15&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color:#3a2d2d;&quot; size=2px;&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
