You'll find below a copy of my work in progress on the Sartar issue....and thanks again to all those sources who let me use their info !.......
Tribes of Sartar - A Work in Progress:
There are roughly around 24 tribes situated around Sartar and southern Tarsh. Each of these tribes is in turn sub-divided into various clans. Within each tribe there are a number of clans that no longer exist, either due to them being 'absorbed' into other clans or annihilated through some tribal or other conflict. Where it has been possible I will make notes as to the Tribe/Clan relationships (still to do !). This tribal attitude is one of the reasons for the way the Lunar's were able to conquer Sartar. One of the Lunar's strategies was to use the clan attitudes against each other as well as giving to the clans the option that they either pay taxes or supply men to fight as irregulars in the Lunar force. This listing is taken as at the start of my latest campaign in 1610 ( through to 1613 ) ST.
Tribal source information comes from the 'King of Sartar' novel, David Dunham's ideas from Glorantha Digest, Ian Gorlicks Cinsina tribe, Questlines, Guy Jobbins (Kheldon Clan Info), Martin Laurie & Ingo Tschinke (Culbrea tribe stuff), John Hughes (Tovtaros), Thomas 'Wolfman' Gottschall and other Internet/Fanzine sources. I have compiled all of these together to try and form one 'huge' list of clans.

Notes:
I have assumed, for now, that the Ducks are unlike the other Sartarite Tribes and are not split into Clans etc. As for the PolJoni, and the ongoing argument as to whether or not they should be classified as a Tribe of Sartar, I have for now excluded any details on Clans but included them a one of the 'tribes'.
Other possible Clan names to be used (but not yet allocated): Brigante, Circinda, Dalraida, Fidarchi, Leaping Stag, Moon Hunters.
