    Xaela Tribes

    I decided to try and match up the Xaela tribes that appear with those listed in the lore book, with mixed success.

    I'm fairly confident about the white robed tribe being the Gharl.

    The tribe in yellow don't really have any distinctive traits beyond the clothing, but the book doesn't go into enough detail about individual tribal clothing for that to be an indicator. There seems to be another group alongside them but they fall into the same category.

    My gut tells me the seeming ruler they're reporting to isn't of the same tribe though. If I had to guess the ruler is part of the Jhungid or Kharlu, two rival tribes who subjugate various smaller tribes to fight for them in an anual battle for teritory, with the yellow tribe being one such subjigated tribe.

    The elder woman also has a distinctive style of dress from the others. Given her seeming willingness to open up to outsiders I'm inclined to think she may be one of the Kha.
