  1. As a shaman, he actually could be able to contact his tribe via the Spirit Plane, and act out a central role in the Hight Holy Day rituals.
  2. If he wouldn't contact his tribe, he could still perform some ritual/quest connected to the epic and magical past or present of his people.
  3. With or without his tribe, the shaman probably takes a ritual role along with his tribe's ancestors. They will go through a series of central Agimori myths, things that made the Agimori what they are today, battles and other encounters that helped the Agimori to carve out a living in Prax (where they do not originate).
  4. Even if not contacting his tribe, the shaman, as a tribal Praxian, will be able to find local places, spirits, and people who can take the roles of his High Holy Day friends and enemies - if that is needed. A day's journey on the Chaparral, a night of challenges and joy, and a return trip.

IMHO. -ile
