>Tarsh had a national tribe which did not follow the Alakoring rites.

The last time I heard Greg was calling Tarshites an Alakoring people.

>Aggar has many small tribes following the Alakoring tradition.

Greg has described it as one tribe which makes me suspect that the standard equation of Sartarite tribe with adoption of the Orlanth Rex subcult is alot more complicated that Joerg states.

I currently feel that in many cases, rather than split up into two or more tribes, some tribes might make internal subdivisions to maintain their cohesion as a tribe for sentimental reasons. This is what I feel has happened to the Hendreiki.
