Chanaakar's sister was every bit as precocious as her brother, though her talents run more to the mastery of the body than of the mind. Still, she is kalashtar, as was their mother, and she knows the importance of balance. Luunkashtai has always loved her brother deeply, and she places her duty to him at the highest priority. However, since Raadu Xeel and the Endseekers attacked Chanaakar, she has been more watchful and involved with the community of Kasshta Keep. Her position as the Speaker's Hand is a respected one, but she has also earned the right to lead the Kashtai line of kalashtar in the citadel. Some might say that being a member of the elder council and a servant of the Speaker's is a conflict of interest, but nobody questions Luunkashtai's sense of duty and honor.
Luunkashtai has given birth to many children. Chanaakar appreciates being an uncle more than Luunkashtai likes being a mother, but the communal raising of children in Kasshta Keep allowed her to fulfill what she felt were her obligations to the future of the kalashtar while remaining a warrior. All six of Luunkashtai's living children are adults, serving either in Kasshta Keep or elsewhere in the land of refuge. Three others have died on the borders in skirmishes with Riedrans.
