#jackal tribe

What is your earliest memory?

“Sitting around a campfire, as a kitten, and listening to the older cats tell tales. My mother told one about the Jackal, and how it always comes out on top, no matter the twists life throws at it. There were lots of parables like that about the Jackal. Stories about survival, and cunning...they make good lessons for the kittens. It’s shit we’d actually sit down, and listen to.”

(`･ω･´) : What does your muse completely gush over?

The Striped Jackal tribe her father is apart of; you could not get her to shut up if you asked about them. She only half remembers what it was like growing up near the Temple of Qarn, or their short history, but she’ll embellish them to the seven hell’s if you give her the time. How they splintered off from their main tribe in Upper La Noscea to keep religiously traditional, or how they tried to possess the Sultana’s Tree near Ul’dah in a failed attempt at a home. She’ll show you her tattoo from her own rite to adulthood on her back, and talk about her father being a fan-bearer and what that means. Honestly don’t even ask her unless you want to hear her speak for three hours.

I actually really like the idea that J’baro and his tribe are the keepers of Qarn. It was a temple built by the Belah’dians to worship Azeyma originally and the Striped Jackals are fundamentalist seekers just completely work out. They would have cleared out the snares and traps long ago to create an area of worship and rebuild the temple with their own ideals to thank Azeyma for leading them to victory and settlement.

With the idea that looters would come to the temple and steal the items belonging to their goddess, they would rework the traps and build their own paths to ‘safe areas’ where they would pray and do their ceremonies and lead the treasure hunters on dangerous paths. After all if Azeyma protected them they should protect her home.

They place so much stock in this place the priests and worshipers tend to forget that the temple was not theirs and was built with ancient purpose, but for now they clean out bodies and keep their home and temple a secret in the corner of the ruins.

honestly for my Jackal tribe miqo’te’s they place alot of emphasis on taking care of the family group. Loyalty, camaraderie, and family is highly lauded in their group. This isn’t to say that miqo’te’s who leave are vilified since it is their ultimate choice, as long as they never forget where they came from.
