 Due to their proximity to the mountains of Xelphatol, the native home of the avian beastmen known as the Ixal, the Falling Stars have had a history of open warfare and savage hostility with the beastman. It cannot be denied that the miqo'te tribals were the first to invade the lands of the Ixal, even if it was in the name of surviving the Great Flood, and that from the first little to no effort was made toward diplomacy. Their time in captivity had instilled into the Falling Stars an intense xenophobia, teaching them that "Outsiders" could never be trusted. To this day, Warriors of the tribe adorn themselves with trophies claimed from the birdmen, from feathers to talons and eyes.<br>
 The hostility of the Falling Stars extended toward all Outsiders. Though natives of other neighboring lands rarely had reason to venture forth in the bleak tundra of their home, invariably any who were discovered were seen as threats and treated no better than the Ixal. Their knowledge of their home land, coupled with their physical prowess and disinclination to wander, had kept the existence of the sept concealed for over fifteen centuries... <br>

 During the War of the Magi, in the waning years of the Fifth Astral Era, a cabal of Nymian scholars broke away from the city-state.

Regardless of how it began, the experiments were long-running and kept fiercely isolated from contamination, necessitating profound adjustments to the aetherial makeup of the subjects over a series of generations. Their aetherial pathways were completely rerouted, resulting in hardy, resilient spoken whose bodies were highly susceptible to and able to recover from further aetherial manipulation; the downside was that this internal focus rendered them incapable of expressing aether beyond their own bodies in anything but the most basic transmission.

 ===The flight of the Falling Stars===
 After an unknown time (though scattered notes suggest it was at least several decades, possibly as much as a century), the subjects rose up in rebellion. Legend states that a powerful male leader, whose name was lost and is only known of as The First Nunh, stirred his brethren into a bloody insurrection which resulted in the total massacre of the scholars and the flight of the miqo'te from the Crucible. The First Nunh led them to follow the trail of a falling star to the east, which brought the fleeing tribals into the lee of [[Xelphatol]] just in time for the calamitous Great Flood which would spell the end of the Fifth Astral Era. When the waters receded, the miqo'te descended from the mountains and settled into the new tundra, founding the Home Sept of the newly-named Falling Stars Tribe.<br>

 ===History of the Coeurl Tribe with the Amal'jaa===
 Due to their proximity to the grasslands of Pagi'than, the native home of the lizard-like beastmen known as the Amal'jaa, the Coeurl tribe has had a history of open warfare with the beastman.  Each side has claimed that their lands were invaded first, though the true first aggressor has been lost in a long history of small raids, larger battles, cease-fires, and near-massacres.  At the current time, the Coeurl tribe has not been observed crossing the border into Pagi'than or Amal'jaa lands, however the beastmen have been increasing their raids into Thanalan- even so far as the city of [[Ul'dah]]- so it is likely only a matter of time before the current cold war escalates once more.
