The tribal information from TR looks like this:

Aranwyth
Location: east of Jonstown
Claim to Fame: horse traders and Elmal worshippers King: Ilgalad Trollfriend, charming devotee of Elmal Rex Goal: prosperity
Value: tradition
Lunar Relations: 0
# of Clans: 7
Population: 7500
Wealth: 14
Alliance: Swenstown Confederation

The Lunar relations are on a 1-20 scale, with 1="hates their guts" and 20="sandal-licking quislings", and no, that "0" up there is intentional, not a typo :-)

The Clan Generator (much like the one in KoDP) is included, so you can trace the roots of your clan back into the God Time. Some clans will have similar listings (The entire Colymar clan list is included, so you can see a whol tribe at work), but by no mean all clans (just to give you some room to make your own :-) )
