Altani of the Dataq is a non-player character in Final Fantasy XIV. She is the daughter of Khalja Khan, sister of Anarba and cousin of Sokhatai. Altani appears in the series of FATEs "The Dataqi Chronicles" in the Azim Steppe.
History[]
During one of their temporary camps, the Dataq tribe is attacked by a pack of Steppe Gedan. The enemies are defeated, but because the smell of blood attracts more predators, the Dataqi are forced to migrate early to a new location. On the way they are ambushed by a group of Ugundi warriors. The Dataqi manage to win the confrontation thanks to the Ugundi being drunk, but Khalja fears they will return with reinforcements and mobilizes the Dataqi away.
On the way, they find Gurbesu of the Goro alone being attacked by mammoths. The Dataqi defeat the animals and set up their camp at the location and Sokhatai tends to the injuries of Gurbesu who was unconscious. Altani found it strange that the sheep were not feeding and feared that they were sensing some predator nearby. Khalja investigates the surroundings and finds a pack of Gulo Gulo. Khalja defeats them cleanly taking care not to attract any new predators. After defeating the creatures, Khalja finds Gurbesu's stallion and takes it back to the camp.
Gurbesu wakes up and explains that her tribe was destroyed in a Matanga raid, and while she was hunting to replenish supplies, she was attacked by the mammoth. While she was explaining, a group of Matanga found and began attacking the Dataqi settlement. After the Matanga are chased away, Gurbesu says that she will leave to search for her tribe and the Dataqi respond by saying that they will accompany her. The party finds the Goro being attacked by the Matanga and arrive in time to save them. Again, the Dataqi set up camp to treat the wounded. Anjana, the Matanga leader, returns and attacks the camp in full force but is defeated. Finally free of threats, the Goro and the Dataqi say farewell and go their separate ways.
