Sunit

Initially, the Sunit were herders, living in the costal plateaus. Legend has it a pair of twins, born under a harvest moon, grew up to be Suku - the moon - and Hoshi - the Stars - the first line of Sindu Royalty. No one knew, though, until the Suku trained under the guard, and Hoshi under a printer. Paired with the combat skills, purswaition and writing abilities, the two women quickly rose to high power. Suku wished to tame the wind and earth, and thus she did, detailed in *Tsukuno Sar*, an epic of her many conquests in the mountians. Hoshi, in turned, wished to tame fire and water, and so she did, as told in *Ohoshiuno Budo*, the tales of her conquests along the coastal line. Both sisters wished to stay close to home, so in the spoils of their conquests raised Tengeriin - Sea Plane - into the city of Angarag, the Thunder's Home.


*Tsuku and Ohoshi are their formal titles, 'no' represents their own. Sar means moon phase or time, Budo means swift footed or water foot
