Spine is a tribe of Kumandra. The Chief of Spine is unnamed and it is uncertain if he's the current chief.

Background[]

Physical Appearances[]

Those traveling east from Fang and Heart will eventually arrive in Spine, the snow-covered bamboo forest guarded by giant warriors. Even from afar, travelers can see the spiked walls of the Spine fortress and hear war drums beating. The mighty noise suggests that a mighty force lives inside, however Tong has a set of wind chimes that sounds like an army playing multiple war drums. The Spine clan often wears muted clothes that feature multiple layers due to the cold climate. Production designer Paul Felix, who worked with Arounsack, shared Spine's environment is linked to the ample amount of bamboo in Vietnam. This is the home of Tong, his wife and toddler child.

People[]

When Raya and her group travel to Spine, they encounter Tong (Benedict Wong), the last surviving member of the tribe. The entire community and village are fortified with bamboo to protect from enemies. Though the tribe is prepared for conflict, Tong quickly volunteers to help Raya and Sisu if it means he could reunite with his family one day.
