Sijinn, Elemental Tribes
... an ancient diaspora from beyond the stars, the Living Elementals of Pathon.
"We are vessels of many Elements as sacred embodiments of mind, body, spirit and Soul, coalesced from starlight Wisps and given Life by Divine breath. What we left beyond the broken Gates once divided us across the expanse of Aether, but now, together we can seek the Promised Land. Though many Elements, our Will is united by one Word. We are the Sijinn. This wounded World will become our new Home."
Ancestral Origin & Diaspora
The will to cross the vastness of the Icing Sea in search of the lost Clans became a significant Rite of Passage among the Sijinn. They were given the title Reclaimers; the Izuseiji in the Sijiqon language, and they were expected to return one day. While some perished in the journey, others drifted to the far corners of the World. The Sijinn are commonly known for two migration events- the Sijinn Exodus and Pilgrimages.
The Sijinn Exodus
Exodus as Origin
Exodus as Cycles of Reanimation
Unlike other Cultures, if a Sijinn becomes a Ghost, this occurs within the Spirit, but an Elemental Wraith is an Undead born from the imprinted identity of the Spirit on Source. An Elemental Wraith can inevitably transmute into other terrible forms, such as a Tempest Wraith- a conglomeration of Ghosts or Wraiths contaminated by a singular identity or multiple, seeking control of the storm.
The Sijinn Pilgrimages
Migration from Izeiqor
Sijinn Pilgrims were commonly encountered alone or in a group of two to four.

Pairing, Bonding & Separation
In Sijinn Culture, a Male or Female could have several partners. Harems weren't uncommon among the nobility, with pacts regarding Rites of Fertility. However, dissolving a Sijinn Pairing required a notary, tribute, and Rites of Severance, but couples were expected to sort their own ownerships when it came to possessions. Children in custody of a certain age could choose which parents to retain guardianship. Sijinn in a Pairing adopt new names or Clan identities separate from their union, adding a syllable from their partner's Clan name into theirs, changing through the generations.

Art, Crafts & Fashion
Philosophy of Harmony
Developed from a common origin, the Sijinn and their Art forms are remarkably similar yet the essence of each individual Tribe preserves each piece. Collectively, the four Tribes of Sijinn enjoyed oratories, and were willing to listen to stories or myths of other Cultures, sometimes incorporating them into their own. Wind Sijinn popularized songs and other forms of entertainment while Fire Sijinn enjoyed the act of dancing and playing instruments. Earth Sijinn enjoyed turning their myths into fabric or stone as Water Sijinn stirred others with Ice Sculptures.Sijinn Tribal Culture

Myths & Legacies
Script & Soders
While the idea of carving Runes into stone or clay wasn't a new concept, the tools that shaped the Elemental Script adapted innovative new Runes into the languages. A Soder inscribes magical glyphs into mundane objects, allowing imaginative inventions with the proper components. Soders of varying styles and properties emerged among the other Cultures due to the Sijinn's ingenuity. Their Runes and the Words they formed inspired many, such as the primitive Rune Fangs, or the elegant style of the Aelven Stylus. The Sijinn believed the Soder was a tool used to manifest the meaning of Words into physical realities. For the Sijinn, the Runes shaped their languages and Spell-Craft.
Elemental Soders
Endowed with the Elemental Spirits of Sijinn. Notable Figures & Legends
Inventor of the Soder
Though much isn't known, the person credited through Divination and myth as the creator of the Soder was Aunale' of Talasi. While the Sijinn pursued the shape of Runes, Aunale' preferred different tools than the common implements of the Time. Instead, she isolated herself in a cavern of ice, where she crafted her Soder unwittingly with a piece of Magical Blue Ice. Legends claim that Aunale's specific Blue Ice Soder is capable of restoring broken Ice Artifacts or Relics. It went on to shape the intial letters and syllables of the Talasi language, carved in Ice Runes.

Wow, it's incredible. It was clear you struck a chord with me. I love this ethnic group and would love to get to know all the tribes. You've packed in so many wonderful and inspiring details that it's impossible to take it all in the first time. Thank you for the fantastic article.

I don't know how to admit the pride I feel receiving such high praise. If I can give the Sijinn even a breath of the Life you've given the Cultures of Elaqitan, I'll consider that successful. Your work and Elemental Cultures are an inspiration. Thank you, Blue Fairy ^^
That's sweet, but believe me, this article is sooo much better than my ethnic groups. I really still have a lot of work to do on that. Still, I'm glad I could inspire you too ;).
