Long ago, deep in the Sagolii Desert, a male seeker abandoned his tribe with his childhood sweet. The lovers longed to forge a tribe of their own--to discover their true god and calling in life. The price, however, was having no resources to survive; no support, shelter, or weapons. They only had each other. After one merciless year, his sweet passed away, leaving behind a small, nameless babe. The child was birthed in exchange of her mother's life. The man was alone in the sands, burdened with heartbreak and the responsibility of a new soul.

That night, the mourning man was visited by a giant, monstrous, horned beast. It rushed them like rolls of silent storm clouds, ominous and destructive. The father blocked his child and yelled, "Oh, great demon! Have you a heart, you will leave us! Leave us to the cruelty of the sands, great demon!" The demon banished his words, rushing its powerful horn tip clean through the man's gut. His ragdoll body was high to the sky. The horn gleaming and sleek with blood of the man. Still, he moved. The hoisted man used his claws to gauge the eye of the beast out and consume it. The beast released high pitched, prolonged screams and cries of agony. In a frenzy of pain, it slung the man off his crimson horn. There they lay, bloodied and near death. A beast cried for the mercy he refused to give, mourning his lost eye. "Sunchild," he wailed, "my sight! I cannot see! Please, I will grant you one wish, warrior, in exchange for my vision." The man obliged his offer with one of his own. "Stick your mighty horn in my stomach, beast. I will have my people worship you, then. Only then will you grow your eye back." The monster did just that. The horn slid back into the man's stomach, only to be snapped off and left inside. "They will worship the endurance of Rhino, Miqo'te." The God commanded, vanishing in back into the clouds from which he came.

Rhino was founded by Rh'etki Nunh, father of Rh'uaza Etki. Because of his powerful story-telling, his devoted tribe of only 13 was always inspired to last longer in combat than any other. Interestingly, their culture preferred story-telling over keeping records. They also they pride themselves in collecting Rhino horns from deceased elders, and displaying it on their heads or on their stomachs.
Rhino is a very peculiar tribe because of how secluded they kept themselves. Even though they're a two letter tribe, they refused to make many lasting connections to neighboring tribes in Sagolii. They're commonly known for talking in a different tongue when around each other. It was normal for their children to not speak Eorzean until mastering their own tribe's tongue.
Rhino is now a dead tribe, as they fell victim to a viscous genocide. Their homes were raided, burned to the ground, and his people were slaughtered. The cause is still unknown to this day. Everything about the Rhino tribe is forgotten in the sands, and there's nothing to remember them by due to their absence of written documentation. Just like the mighty Rhino, their existence rolled back into the clouds...

A P P E A R A N C E

The Rhino Tribe were all light-skinned people of color; often ranging from a light mocha to a milky hazelnut brown. They adorned themselves in bones of Rhinos that passed away by old age or other means of death--never by hunting. The jewelry and head pieces are remarkably crafted with skill and care. The headdresses were sex-specific by tradition. A beautiful ivory horn poked from the side of the male's heads, while females traditionally wore bleach white horns in the middle of their heads.

A C C E P T E D ■ Wearing Horns. Rhino horns are held at upmost respect, as they viewed the animal as a religious figure. This showed pride, power, and endurance . ■ White Magic. This energy is channeled by singing in their native tongue. As the story goes, healing plays a major role in their history. Using magic to mend wounds was not unusual. ■ Brawling. Rhino pride themselves in endurance. If they fail, they'll persist until they succeed. Sparring is a mandatory practice that takes place every sun.

T A B O O ■ Singing. If a tribe member is not trained in healing and sings, that's considered a disrespect.. ■ Text. Text, text, text, text. ■ Text. Text, text, text, text.
