🪨 I. Origin

The Shihba were shaped in the deep caverns where time speaks slowly. Their people believe wisdom is not learned — it is unearthed. The echoes of Itiba guide them, carved into stone and memory alike.

🪨 II. Initiation Ritual — “The Silence of the Rock”

For three moons, the initiate lives alone in the caves of Itiba. They must learn to hear their own breath — and accept their own reflection. Only then do they return carrying a stone marked by time.

🪨 III. Their Gift — Stone That Remembers

Shihba gifts include:

- Deep spiritual memory

- Unshakable resolve

- Ability to read stone and echo

- Patience in leadership

- Crafting sacred carvings

Their wisdom stands long after warriors fall.

"If the echoes calm you… your spirit is Shihba."
