They wander from highland to lowland grazing grounds, declaring huge swathes of the desert their “territory” in which any caravan must offer protection money. They compose poems of their deeds and mock other clans of the [[Banu-Asera]] for having given up the “freedom” of black wool tents for stone houses in the oases. The other clans consider them boastful nuisances, though grudgingly respecting them as protectors of the old [[Aserai-Sultanate]] ways. This clan is from the [[Aserai-Sultanate]] Sultanate. # Game Files / Developer Diaries Companion: [[the-Leopardess]] is a former / current member of the [[Jawwal]]. The [[Banu-Sarran]] are recently settled bedouin, who seized the [[Banu-Hulyan]]'s holdings in the outer oases but were eventually accepted as clients and vassals. They are thought of as upstarts by the others, a reputation which they in fact relish. They celebrate their nomadic past with carefully poems on their success in battle over the other tribes, or in seducing the other tribes' daughters. This does not endear them to other Asuris. They maintain close ties with the [[Jawwal]], a clan of outcasts who still keep the nomadic lifestyle. | Source | Text | | ---- | ---- | | comment_strings.XML | string id="str_comment_special_clan_intro_jawwal.default" text="{=YayEAKaI}Perhaps you have not heard of the Jawwal. Well, when you cross the desert, far from oasis and spring, in a land that others scorn, with thorns fit only for goats and camels, then you are in our domain."> |
