== History ==
Many cultures have lived in the rainforest of Sunkaitin before Nacafian settlers arrived. The numerous rivers flowing northwards from the southern mountains served as natural borders between tribes. The Tjönti have prospered in recent time as traders of goods between other more secluded tribes. They were also the first to make contact with the settlers when they arrived on the Catohaza peninsula and founded the homonymous city. To the Tjönti, the peninsula is known to be subject to floods often.
According to a local legend, a young Nacafian woman by the name of Gausha who had lost her home got invited to join a Tjönti ceremony. When she prayed to the Tjönti rain deity Füsübür, the woman was supposedly granted the ability to control water and protect cities from flooding. The story resulted in the forming of a Tjönti cult who worship young Nacafian women, and in Gausha becoming the patron saint of Catohaza.
