I've just had a look at the original description in Nomad Gods, and it makes the point that all the Praxian tribes hate and fear broo, but they hate and fear the idea of them allying with a rival tribe even more... so they are sometimes willing to cut deals with them to keep them on *their* side, not their enemies'.

Presumably the broo will be paid with animals taken from the rival tribes' herds. It's a harsh life out on the Plaines - you take what help you can get.

Incidentally, Nomad Gods has a rule that broo allied to a Praxian clan have a 50% chance of changing sides whenever attacked by a larger force.
