Sanchali

This organisation is defunct.

It was Sanchal Crooked-Teeth, a Frithan chieftain, who united and saved your ancestors when they were under attack from the Culbrea and Malani. He convinced the clan chieftains that they could only remain free by uniting as a tribe against their enemies. In 1426, he organized the clans’ disparate warriors under one banner, fighting off the Malani and Culbrea at the Battle of Fordstone, later becoming the first king of the Sanchali tribe.

King Estavar Lightbringer of the Underwillow was the second king of the Sanchali. He always lived in Sanchal’s shadow and it was as much as he could do to keep the newly formed tribe together. Once the threat from the Culbrea and Malani had subsided, people had little interest in the tribe.

King Estavar tried to unite the clans against the Telmori when they arrived, but the Telmori killed the king and his entire household. The Telmori stole the Sanchali’s sacred regalia and afterwards the tribe was no more. The threat was too great for the scattered surviving clans. When the Telmori overran the Osmann clan, the survivors were so few that they joined with the Drutorae to become one clan (which would become the Red Cow).

The Leftover Saga

Everyone remembers the Resettlement Sagas of how the Cinsina came to be — how Cinsin the Wolfskinner saved the Sanchali survivors, huddled in their refuges, from the Telmori and became the king of a new tribe. But what fewer sagas tell is that not all of the survivors became Cinsina, some chose to remain Sanchali.

When peace was made there was no place for those that remained Sanchali — the settlement drew boundaries that excluded them. The Leftover sagas tell how Geo saved the Sanchali. Geo was one of Sartar’s companions, his master-brewer and cook. He found a solution for the Sanchali by asking Sartar to grant the Sanchali permission to live on other tribe’s lands, especially in the newly founded cities.

The clan became the first members of Geo’s hospitality cult and worked as innkeepers, brewers, cooks, servers and bouncers. Some people called them ‘Geo’s Salvation Army’ but others remember and called them the Sanchali. Even today the finest chefs and brewers take pride in their descent from the old tribe, and honor old bonds of kinship amongst themselves.
