Jamanni Clan

The Tunuriit clan (meaning Night Dwellers in Ta'agra) was a Khajiiti clan in Elsweyr in Second and Third Eras. The clan controlled the cities of Corinth and Senchal, with a portion of Quin'rawl Peninsula. A few prominent members of the clan were hailing from the infamous Black Kiergo quarter of Senchal, while their headquarters were in Corinth, where they engaged in skooma trade alongside Ya'Tirrje, the Gold Cat.

Tunuriit clan was very wealthy, most often arranging business deals with the Empire and welcoming it with open arms despite their hidden illegal movements. The clan members value cunning and stealth, and most act as covert agents or assassins. There are, however, those gifted in the arcane, including S'var-Lhajiito, a skilled mage who holds a respectable position in the clan. Unlike other major clans of Elsweyr, the Tunuriit do not have a Clan Mother; the last one mysteriously disappeared in 2E 579. While most of the members are obviously Khajiit, the Tunuriit also welcome retainers of other races as well.

The Tunuriit are known to sell traitors to the slavemasters of Morrowind, sometimes cutting a traitor's tail before sending him to his master. However, if the slave managed to break free and return, his crimes against the clan are forgotten. The clan had ties with the Dunmer Great Houses since the Third Era, when Zahraji, a former clan-kin who betrayed the Tunuriit and a slave in the province of Morrowind, was freed by the open-minded Eddves Veleth, and returned to Corinth. This significantly increased the number of Dunmer retainers who resided in Elsweyr. In addition, the Khajiiti clan-kin who lived in Morrowind were buried in a separate chamber of Veleth Ancestral Tomb. However, several of the arrogant Dunmer of Veleth family, who saw the Khajiit as beasts, refused to deal with the clan, resulting in a minor war between the factions.

J'Darza, a Khajiit assassin, sometimes called "The Night Plague", traveled to Morrowind and managed to murder Athanden Veleth, a respected wizard of House Telvanni, as a response to several Veleth family members' attitude towards the clan. This led Velar, Athanden's father, to hiring the Morag Tong assassins after Eddves Veleth and his wife, in hopes to cut the ties. Prior to assaulting Athanden, J'Darza made a move towards the Mane and was successful in choking him with his own large mane. J'Darza was later killed by the combined forces of the Warrior Guard and Morag Tong on Vvardenfell, who sought revenge on the Night Plague.

After the ties with Veleth family were cut, and with the Mane's murderer revealed to be a member of the clan, the Tunuriit influence over Anequina started to decline before the clan eventually died out.
