Yea, I agree. Similarities and differences of the praxian clan structure
compared with the orlanthi traditional one is something I`ve been trying to
find out...
But to the point; of course it doesn`t mean that praxian clans could not
have a history with long traditions back in the time to the clan`s founder,
or does it? The Elder Khans change but after all they act as a focus to
religious powers of the clan`s Founder.

Humm...even though they worship ancestors too?

Sounds very reasonable. The history of the territory with all its consequences how did it alter weather etc. is a good link in understanding why praxian clans differ from others.

Ok :). I just started to think about the first hand 'profits' a normal nomad guy can get in the wastes, if he knows star lore/wisdom. When nomads view the night sky as different places: Summer Fertile, Zola Fel, Wastes & Winter Fertile; could it work as some kind of a 'map' to them? I know this may sound quite silly, but can the planet`s exact location in the sky be compared with some earthly places, like f.e. Monkey Ruins or the Block which are on the other side of Zola Fel (in the Summer Fertile, as nomads call the area in the night sky)?
Cheers!
