...About Sinsearach. Couldn't find annything in 4E. Anything in 5E? Or in previous edition?
-
Not much really, Tir Tairngire pg 26 talks about how it was formed mainly of first gen UGE elves under the aegis of Walter Bright Water and how he helped set the stage a bit for their later positioning that let them take the land we know as the Tir now.
-
And, ummm... That is all? :o
-
New Seattle pg 9 also gives a brief desctiption of the tribe in it's current form as they reside around Mt. Rainer.
Remember the main tribe itself didn't take off for the Tir, it was a subsection of it that did that.

The Sinsearach tribe is part of the Salish-Shidhe Council. They came to prominence after 2029, when the Council opened their lands to all metahumans, not just Amerinds, and some of them formed "Pink-Skin" tribes. The Sinsearach was an elven tribe, based primarily down in the area of what used to be Oregon, which was at that point mostly uninhabited, thanks to war and VITAS. In 2035, a portion of the Sinsearach tribe called the Ceneste broke off from the Council and formed the nation of Tir Tairngir. The rest remain in the Council, living in the area of Mt. Ranier.

Get New Seattle. Got it. OK, thanks guys.

Theorizing, the Sinsearach 'elf tribe' is more 'tribal' than 'elven'. The ones who focussed on the 'elven' portion went and created the Tir; the ones who wanted to be more 'tribal' stayed with the Sinsearach. So when you're playing around with 'em, think less 'elven majesty' and more 'bastardized Native American'.
-
What exactly are you wanting to know?
-
Less interested in security, laws, resources and more in culture, customs, society and general fluff.

Well, the problem there is they're a tribe within a tribe. Anything with lots of data on the Salish-Sidhe will give you a little on the Sinsearach, but...yeah. The Salish-Sidhe are already seen as one sliver of the NAN, and now you're looking at a sliver of a sliver, y'know?
NAN (1) will have probably the most in-depth stuff, but also the most out of date. SoNA would be next, and have less info, but only be about a decade behind the curve. That leaves, uh, stuff that's already been mentioned, really. They've got some info in most Seattle sourcebooks (because they're next door, and Seattle sourcebooks tend to touch on nearby neighbors a little), but you're still not talkin' about a whole lot, really.
There's lots of elbow room to do your own thing, is where I'm goin' with this, really.

I tend to go with the 'wood elf' thing, in comparison to the Tir's 'high elf' vibe.
