The Kindred

The Kindred are a tribe who descended from the Hyum and grew up together in the desert. They are somewhat of a rowdy, fun-loving bunch because they raised themselves with no "adult" supervision.
The tribe's origins come from the Elder Prince who had his right to the throne usurped by his younger brother (the Prince of Youth) when their father, The King died. The Elder Prince rallied in battle against his brother (with his supporters), but was badly defeated. As a warning, the Prince of Youth killed any remaining supporters of his brother, and then banished their children to Renkatoh a.k.a. "The Fracture" to die.
Once on The Fracture, the older children made a pact to take care of the younger ones and named the tribe "The Kindred." Because they were assumed dead and forgotten by the world, they are associated with aether, void and invisibilia.
In the canyons, beings age more slowly due to the Fractal Fog that, for centuries, caused outsiders to avoid the region and continent. However, the fog actually slows time and brings anti-aging properties to those it engulfs. Therefore, the leaders of the tribe (the original children) are now over 200 years old, but only look like they are in their 50-60's (a fact that will later mock the Prince of Youth, who cannot stay young).
The fog's lightning storms also gave The Kindred the power to harness electricity in their bodies. They use this to train themselves in swaying using the sand as mini-storms, weapons, and tools. Therefore, modifications to Moon Drift (the city in the cliffside of a hidden canyon that was originally built by the Moonburn Tirava) are built out of a crystalline material that is created from sand and electricity. The skilled builders simply touch the ground, creating a "living" snake of sand (called snake glass), which arises and can be formed into a shape. Then, once in place, a high volt of electricity is shot through the sand solidifying it into an architectural form.
Random travelers have made it into the divide over time and almost all have decided to stay with The Kindred and therefore the secrets of the fog are still a mystery to the rest of the world. Notable people who have stayed are CHÊ'HAR, who left The Pack, PALII'OH, the Ohava, XAÇ the Troppi and CH'CH'DA, the Rak.
Associations:

• Element = Aether/Void/Wind/Invisibilia
• Location = Canyons
• Weapon of Choice = Crystalline electricity. Similar to how buildings are made, the Kindred can place their hand on the ground, manipulating the sand into a snake that can attack the enemy. Once someone is engulfed, a shock is sent through the sand turning the person into a solid, glass form.
