Once Sokhani was born, Tabagu was the first to realize her issues. He kept them hidden for two summers before Quranai could no longer bear hiding her daughter. Tabagu upheld his defense of teaching his "weak" daughter his trades. She was taught in how to survive and to fish, but not in the ways of a huntress. No matter his defiance on the subject, the clan would not allow her to learn such a respected trade. To that end, Tabagu sent word to an old friend of his, a Tumet by the name of Khudus. | Once Sokhani was born, Tabagu was the first to realize her issues.

Tabagu's plan for Sokhani was to see her strong enough to push through her trying times and see the clan for what it was in his own mind: a group of weak willed sorts who follow the law to its letter, not to its heart. Each night Tabagu attacked the tribe from within by promoting a different look at what strength was, and what weakness could be labeled as. |
For all Tabagu did, it was all unknown to Sokhani until quite recently. Now that Sokhani knows just how much her father tried to raise her, she has grown to love her father as a compassionate man, and not one of unfeeling stone. It's unknown if Tabagu has survived his ordeals in the Ursgal Alkha, or the Steppes of Azim, but Sokhani believes he still walks freely. She hopes that she will meet with him and show him how strong she has become. | For all Tabagu did, it was all unknown to Sokhani until quite recently.

Khudus was Tabagu's fissure in the Ursgal Alkha's society, as Khudus was outside Malqiric norms and customs. Things he feigned misunderstanding of, while punished for them quickly, allowed Sokhani comforts or freedoms. The abilities he taught were only shared with a specific few, and, of course, Sokhani was among his chosen few. Kharanai was also taken under Khudus' wing. The two sisters were both tattooed by their teacher and are, possibly, the only two remaining with this particular design and meaning. <br/> <br/> |

The rebellion at Doma had spread some pockets of Garlean influence outward near, and into the steppes. While the arts of destruction proved to fell some, guns and magitek atrocities ultimately claimed his life. Even so, this catastrophe was blamed upon Sokhani's weakness as all other things were. It was Khudus' fall that drove Sokhani to strike one of the Chieftain's sons and vanish the very same night. |

She sometimes hears his voice speak to her, and his ways of goading her into moving forward, should she feel her will faltering or failing. | ||
