Xbr’aal lore?

[Zero-ELEC]

I don't believe a Tonawawta can be called a Xbr'aal or the other way around. Those seem to be the racial names of those people in Tural and not tribal names.

That is incorrect, Tonawawta and other Turali names are clan names, not a racial names.

Self-assured trader: Consider this: it is not uncommon for the various races to be referred to instead by the names of certain clans. For the Miqo'te, the Hhetsarro; the Hrothgar, the Xbr'aal. Not because every member of a given clan is of the same race, mind, but because many individuals of said race are associated with that clan. A fair assumption, in certain cases─but take care not to give offense.

Wuk Lamat: You might hear the Hyur in Tural referred to as “Tonawawta,” one of our major clans.

It's specifically stated that not everyone in a clan is of the same race. It's very possible that Nitowikwe and Wawlika are Tonawawta.
