|p=''>>I think as well that the {{PRel|Category:Nomads of the Arid Steppe|Nomads}} might have peace with each other, but its more in a 'well, we'll leave each other alone' fashion.''

Keep in mind that {{PRel|Kir Dor'na'torna}} happened ~1,000 years ago. Most Nomads know who they're descended from and who shot who's great grandpa, as an expression of the veneration of their ancestors, but they've been mingling for a long time.

Antipathy towards {{PRel|Moon Mage|guild}} politics can be traced back to something else. The Shamans are in a unique position of representing not just an organization (such as the [[:Category:Celestial Compact|Celestians]]) or a faith (such as the [[:Category:Prophets of G'nar Peth|G'nar Pethians]]), but a small nation. The Moon Mages among the tribes are spiritualists, wise men, and sometimes leaders, but the tribes are composed of a lot of people that have as little to do with the Moon Mage Guild as someone walking down the street in [[Crossing]].

Given their family bonds and isolation, the Shamans on the steppe have a tendency to think of themselves as Nomads first and Moon Mages a distant second. However, there's more than enough of them active in the guild power structure and running around out in the provinces to remain a viable sect.
