Tribe Of Keinis

The Tribe Of Keinis /KAY-nis/ was the ruling clan of the Wolftongue thede descended from their patriarch and ancestor Keinis The Wise.

Concerning the sons of Mani
Mani The Bright, the uniter of the fourteen Wolftongue tribes, sired three sons, Luwpis The Strong, the firstborn, Keinis The Wise, and Vulpis The Moody.

Of these three, Keinis ended up receiving the birthright after his elder brother Luwpis insisted that the wisdom of Keinis better suited a king than the strength of Luwpis. Mani agreed with his son and passed the kingdom to Keinis upon his death, appointing Luwpis over the Ferd Of Mani instead.

From Keinis descended what is now called the Line Of Kings along with the other junior branches of the family, all of whom save Zeph Keinis perished in the Lightning Siege.
