MENEHUNE

The Menehune are the native fae of Hawaii. Similar to the Nunnehi, they are more spiritual and ritualistic than the Kithain. The Menehune observe strict rules in their society and, unlike the Kithain, generally respect their individual places in their society. Their rules are furthermore enforced by the taboos. When the Menehune break taboos, they are not only treated as oathbreakers by the others, but they are actually chased by a chimerical entity that enforces the taboos. There are four "callings" of Menehune, like kiths for the Kithain. Rather than Seelie or Unseelie courts, the Menehune have "Feast" or "War" camps. The Menehune ally with totem spirits like the Nunnehi, and are able to traverse the Umbra in the same way as the Nunnehi do.
