Thom,

Saw your comment. Here's the excerpt from SartarRising! I am likely to add a bit about their specialized deities, but maybe not.

Balmyr
The Balmyr used to be the "Poet Tribe." Now they are the "bitches and biters" because the overlords have brought in so many war dogs. King Willandring Clever-Kennings used to be a poetic Orlanth Rex worshipper. Now, however, he worships Doburdun, and his poems are flat, full of funny words, and unpleasant to good Heortlings. Many Lunars go out of their way to listen to him recite, which shows how stupid they are. It is no wonder Lunars and dogs fill his hall. His main rival is Hemrid the Ox, who constantly walks the line between tolerance and exile because of his pursuit of the Balmyr's long-standing feud with the Malani Tribe.
