Though Exodite societies vary across the galaxy, virtually all possess a societal organization built around small, sovereign clannish communities. The causes, however, are unknown. It is a common belief amongst Imperial scholars that such tribalism is the natural state of the Eldar. The lives Exodites live is thought to be similar to the ancient Eldar empire before the [[Fall of the Eldar|Fall and birth]] of [[Slaanesh]]. Each Exodite tribe on a planet swears loyalty to a local ruling tribe that in turn owes adherence to the planet's king and his royal kinfolk. These tribal societies developed out of necessity as small, scattered communities that were the most effective way to exploit the sparse natural resources of the newly settled worlds.{{Fn|2b}}
As there are comparatively few Eldar on these worlds there is also little territorial quarrel. Full conflicts between tribes are rare but clashes between rival [[Dragon Knight]]s are common. These raids and occasional deaths do not embitter the tribes, and it is notable that no matter how hard-fought their disputes might be, no Eldar would despoil or steal the crops of a rival tribe even though these lie unprotected for months at a time. While not willingly hostile, the Exodites are a stout, self-confident people and still possess the mythical pride, even arrogance, of the ancient Eldar race.{{Fn|2c2b}}
Exodites are generally welcoming to other Eldar peoples. They have good relations with most [[Craftworld]] Eldar, particularly [[Alaitoc]] and are often visited and aided by [[Harlequin]] hosts{{Fn|3}}. Not all Exodites remain with their tribes however and can join other Eldar groups.{{Fn|10}}
