Sinro Tribe Lore

The Sinro tribe originated in some snowy mountain ranges in Meracydia but were forced to relocate during the Allagan Invasion

They settled in Coerthas because it most closely resembled their former home

The tribe gradually got smaller as time went on and Khujah is thought to be the last "true" member, as Renoki and Rhunara are half Seeker of the Sun

All tribe members were taught to wield a spear and a bow, with males usually starting with a spear and females with a bow

The reason for this was that females were typically smaller and more agile than males, so could more easily hide in trees and other more precarious locations to fire arrows without being seen

Though they learn to use both, most tribe members prefer to stick to the weapon they learned to use first

A typical hunting/patrol party consisted of male lancers and female archers

The archers would hang back and often find good hiding places to fire their arrows from, while the males would charge in and engage the enemy/prey on the ground

Due to the remoteness of the mountain ranges that made up the Sinro tribe's territory, the tribe was very isolated and defended their territory fiercely

Living conditions in the mountains were tough, so the tribe carried out daily and nightly patrols to ensure that their territory was protected from intruders and that there were enough food sources to feed the tribe

During patrols, archers would often hang back so that they remained unseen by any potential intruders, and the lancers would go on ahead

If an intruder was found, one or two archers would then be able to return to the rest of the tribe to report back without being seen or attacked by the intruder (who would be dealt with by the lancers)

Khujah is more proficient with a bow whereas Renoki and Rhunara are both better at fighting with a lance

Almost everyone in the Sinro tribe were born with light to medium grey-blue hair that lightened with age, though some were born with pale purple hair instead

Their hair helped them to blend in better in the snowy mountain terrain

All tribe members were born with dark red eyes, which helped to shield against snow blindness

Renoki and Rhunara inherited all of the main Sinro tribe traits and got pretty much no physical features from their Seeker father

Their proximity to the Allagans meant that the Sinro tribe developed a good understanding of the Allagans prior to leaving Meracydia, and they even managed to smuggle some abandoned Allagan technology with them when they left

The technology was sold to allow the tribe to trade with merchants as they travelled, with a lot of it eventually ending up in the hands of the G tribe

The Sinro tribe adapted relatively quickly to life in Coerthas, with some of the tribe eventually spreading out to Dravania

A fair number travelled to Tailfeather and spent their lives trapping and raising chocobos, but they had all passed away long before Renoki set foot in Tailfeather

Animal husbandry has always been a skill amongst the Sinro tribe

Renoki is also very good with chocobos and raised Chichiri himself

Many lancers were hired by minor Ishgardian nobility, with several going on to bear the mantle of the Azure Dragoon

The start of the Dragonsong War brought an end to the Sinro tribe's Azure Dragoon days, as they refused to go against the dragons due to their Meracydian heritage

Renoki didn't learn about his family's tie to the Azure Dragoon until he, too, carried the title

The Dragonsong War caused a lot of displacement within the Sinro tribe

Eventually, as the tribe scattered to different areas, the tribe's birthrate dropped and the tribe slowly began to die out

Khujah retains hope that there are still some other Sinro tribe members out there somewhere, despite her tribe seemingly vanishing without a trace

Eventually, Khujah will travel to Meracydia to investigate the disappearance of her partner, and will try to find evidence that the Sinro tribe returned to Meracydia in the wake of the Dragonsong War

Handmade tiny purple book earrings, Feb 2025.

These were really fun! I'm going to make the next set in green I think. I'm very glad I have made slightly less tiny books before this or it would have been much more difficult. I used the strategy of not cutting apart the signatures until after stitching the spine, which was historically a common strategy for dealing with other more reasonably-sized books.

The most toxic thing about the CoD fandom is how some of yall will be talking about what an old man Price is and then be like "he's 37" and if that's not like getting slapped in the face by a fresh trout I don't know what is

Also, these two are almost exactly one year apart. One year worth of improvement.

random temur headcanon: while he mostly sticks to speaking the dominant language depending where he is (given old auri is pretty uncommon outside of the steppe) his vocabulary was irrevocably altered by his time working on the dezul qualan and still calls people neukers occasionally. 'buzzard' only slips out when he's really tired.

Tiny book earrings work in progress, take one. Jan 2025.

Most mini books you see (e.g. for sale very cheap on etsy) have taken the easy route and made their spines with glue, if they have pages at all. I am ridiculous and like making my own life difficult so I stitched these books like a normal full-size sewn binding. You can see the folded signatures in the second photo! I think I'll have to make these entirely with paper covers if I want to get the little hinges right next time.
