==Society==
Tallarn population is divided into many tribes, united in tribal alliances. These alliances don't always live in peace and are known to engage in conflicts. Known tribal alliances include:{{Fn|1}}
*'''Doraha''' - One of the two greatest alliances{{cite thisFn|1b}}*'''MakaalMakali''' - One of the two greatest alliances. Doraha and Makaal were once locked in a conflict, that nearly resulted in civil war and was only stopped with the intervention of an individual, known as the Oracle.{{cite thisFn|1b}}*'''Hawadi''' - Alliance of teachers and scholars, is serves the [[Tallarn Desert Raiders]] regiments as support staff{{cite thisFn|1a}}**This tribal alliance is known to consist of 87 tribes{{cite thisFn|1a}}*'''Ture-nag'''{{cite thisFn|1a}}**'''DBanna'Shauf''' - Chief tribe {{Fn|1a}} Honour and vendetta are interwoven into the dealings of all Tallarn, with the need to avenge slights and pursue feuds taken on to almost the level of religious observance. {{Fn|1d}} ==Religion==The Tallarn know the [[Emperor]] as the allianceAba Aba Mushira {{cite thisFn|1a}}*'''Banna''' - This alliance The Orakle is a position that is known venerated by a number of the tribes of Tallarn. The first Orakle was a sanctioned psyker who brokered a truce between the warring tribal alliances of the Doraha and Makali. Subsequently, the greatest of the astropaths of Tallarn (by virtue of the close bond they are seen to have conflicts share with Ture-nag, based on the Emperor due to their [[Soul Binding]]) is chosen to act as a religious disputesguide and mediator, with Ture-nag distrusting Banna's beleifs those tribes that recognise their authority venerating them in Oracle as the manner of a [[EmperorLiving Saint]]'s prophet{{cite thisFn|1b}} Many tribes reject the notion of the Orakle, believing that worship of the Emperor does not require an intermediary. As such, the religious differences can fuel tribal vendettas as in the case of the Banna (who revere the Orakle) and the Turenag (who it is alleged killed an Orakle) {{Fn|1b}} Worship of the Emperor can be conducted in a sacarius chamber, consisting of a washing pool where communal bathing and prayer is undertaken along with ritualistic tattooing {{Fn|1a}}
