Malestines

The Malestines
The malestines are a race of ancient people descended from the ancient warrior named malestine. The people came from farimtet, a land near modern day carvay, and later migrated to handl, north of eldham. There they split into seven separate tribes. Their key features include olive to brown skin, dark eyes, brown and brown-red hair, tall stature, and broadness. The people live in large mostly nomadic tribe-like groups, each group holding 30-100 people and having a clan name. Several related clans would together make a tribe, called by the name of their common ancestor. The malestines are sometimes called the throdhites, although the throdhites are actually a tribe. Their numbers have recently started to diminish much more, with most of the tribes being completely wiped out.

The Genealogy
The forefather of the Malestines is Khodhad, who had a son named Jhoma, who had a son named Falthofun, then Celtinun, who fathered Shaltis. She was the mother of Aniziniun father of Malestit, who is the father of Throdh. Throdh married Anosh, and they had forty children. In a dispute over who was the heir, they all killed eachother except Malestinun, who took the name of his father, Throdh. At Throdhs uncles and him was the end of a single heir. Throdh and his six uncles Fain, Pronat, Fard'hin, Cint'hin, and Okud all split into the seven tribes of the malestines.

The Handlian-Tainens
The descendants of Fain, they lived in the land of handl with the Throdhites until the recent years, in which the last surviving moved to what they call "winshafya", meaning "land of good mountians" which is believed to be in the continent of Nieden in areas north of the sea of pearls. The speak handlian, as all malestine peoples, and were the main group responsible for the historical records of all the malestine peoples.

The Bofan-Tainens
The descendants of Pronat, they migrated south to the bophan mountains where they settled. They hid in the hills and mountains in small numbers until they were wiped out accidentally in the lynnmore-bophan genocides.

The Fard'hards
Descendants of Fard'hin, they migrated south with the Okudites until the split off somewhere in Syltör. The Fard'hards most likely suffered the same fate as the Okudites, however, as all 150 were supposedly murdered by bandits while wandering through Bardonia.

The Cint'hards
Descendants of Cint'hin, They stayed in Handl and are most likely probably still there today. Known throughout the race as great craftsman, they are prophesied as creating the staffs of the Triad in Triantanism.

The Okudites
Descendants of Okud, they traveled with the Fard'hards to Rathnir where the separated. The Okudites population at the time was diminished to only around 50, so bandits and the elements did not take long to diminish their population.

The Throdhites
Descendants of Throdh, these warrior people were the strangest of all the malestines. The have a small population, and a shorter average height overall. Throdhites do not use mass amounts of makeup and tattoos unlike other malestines, and often have blonde hair. The Throdhites traveled in a similar fashion as the Handian-Tainens, but much later. They too, hide in the Bophan mountains as the Bofan-Tainens did, and also inhabit areas of swamp north of Jirn. They are very secretive now days, few ever getting to meet them, and it is a common urban legend that after the great empires of central Rathnir fall (i.e. Yimmu-Audal, Astyllea, Escharia), they will come out of hiding and create a great city.
