          "Genert embodied some powers of unity and harmony that have
          never been recovered"

It's my opinion that the Desert Trackers try to locate the missing parts of Genert by reading Hyena skins and are under some compulsion to do so (probably because they can feel the missing powers through the Hyena skin).

>Are they all zebra folk?
>(Since the zebra tribe seems to have a connection to Issaries)

Kost, the only named Desert Tracker, is not a Zebra rider.

I really don't think Issaries is as prominent in the Zebra Tribe as Drastic: Prax suggests. Joraz Kyreem's connection with Issaries was a personal one and one largely redundant on the plaines of Prax.

I see the Zebra Riders as being the Pavisite sonofabitches to defend them against the Animal Nomads. In the Pavis and Big Rubble book, they are largely portrayed as bandits.
