The Aranahe live on the Western Frontier, a region on another continent of Pandora across the moon from where the Omatikaya live. The Aranahe, also known as the Kinglor Forest clan, are stylish, sophisticated, and intellectual, reveling in all the arts, but especially weaving the fine silk of the kinglor, a moth-like insect that is emblematic of them. The Aranahe have learned to survive by abiding long-standing traditions and valuing the needs of the community over the wants of the individual. They frown upon those who would question these ancient ways.
The Aranahe’s home is built in a large and ancient Kelutral that has many chambers and twisting corridors adorned with painted tapestries and dyed silks. The Aranahe share their Kelutral with the kinglor moth, tending to their nests and cherishing them as messengers of Eywa. Silk is harvested from hatched kinglor cocoons and is woven by the Aranahe, forming much of their distinctive clothing and decorative tapestries. Within Kelutral, the Aranahe have woven marui for sleeping and privacy.
