Chi'mani

Chi'mani is a posthumous nomadic character who appears through her great-granddaughter's storytelling. 
== First Appearance ==
Brinsop's Brood 
== Description ==
Although she is not described in detail, Chi'mani is noted to have been extraordinarily beautiful. Many people among the nomads wished to marry her and it was her beauty that caught the attention of Daakul, the prince of Brighthollow.
== History ==
A long time ago, Chi'mani lived among the Mahir tribe in the Death Sands. She was arranged to be married to Awah'i, the chief of the largest tribe at the time. She agreed to this and they were married, but the ceremony was interrupted by Daakul, who had visited her one night. She was pregnant with his child and he wanted to make her his bride. Chi'mani, who had thought his first appearance had been a vision from the gods, rejected his offer and begged him to leave, saying they could not be together because she was mortal and he was not. Between her rejection and Awah'i's angry outbursts, Daakul became enraged and spitefully cursed both tribes to become unable to have children and left the desert.
== Lineage ==
Chi'mani is the matriarch of all mageborn nomads; every single spellcaster born among them can trace their bloodline directly to her and Daakul. Her daughter, Rai'mani, was not affected by her father's curse and lived a long life, having many children.
