Trell
A non human warrior people of the Masal Plains in Seven Cities, herders and wanderers moving toward settled life.
The Trell are a non human people of the Masal Plains, on the western side of the Jhag Odhan in Seven Cities, first named in Gardens of the Moon, and seen closely in Deadhouse Gates. They are a pastoral warrior society of clans that once wandered in yurts behind half wild bhederin herds, and that outside traders and settlers are pulling toward settled life.
They organise by clan under clan leaders, though tribal elders hold authority, and command in battle falls to the elders even when younger warriors look the better bet. Their witches, the shoulder women, read divinations from bone and hold history nobody else keeps. Warriors rise in standing once blooded. Trell live for hundreds of years.
