Racial Groups
These nomads are mostly human, though occasionally one will see a [[wolfling]] in Sutar as part of a tribe. These are adoptees or Oathsiblings of existing members. Very rarely, a chume’taly will be seen.
This bunch of Nomads is made up entirely of humans. Adoptees of other species are rare.


== Leadership ==
Leadership
They are strictly matriarchal in nature and leadership is hereditary. Succession is determined by a green, star shaped marking that appears naturally on the back of the one who will be the next Tal’jeerann. This mark is present at birth. No one is entirely sure why or how it began to appear but no one questions it.
Only men can become the Tal’jeerann here. This man is usually the strongest warrior. Competitions are held in order for the Tal’jeerann to find himself an Heir. This usually happens in his 10th year of his reign, though some have held the Bak’lenn (trials of the blade) sooner than that.


== Clothing ==
Clothing
Traditional Sutaran garb is different for men and women. A woman’s traditional clothing is called an etul’kevlann. It consists of five parts.  
Tir’ri is the only other place in the Nomad Territories where skirts can commonly be found. Women's garb is called yal’ned. Women's hands are always covered.
Dan’ya – loose fitting pants that have a wide band around the waist and at the cuffs
Djal – a high collared, knee long dress with no sleeves and is open on one side from the hip down.
El’so – an under tunic that is high collared at the neck and leaves the shoulder area bare in the front and back; it also leaves the naval area exposed. The sleeves start up at the top of the bust and angle downwards to just above the elbow. From there, the arm is covered to the wrist.
Elurinn – a ground length skirt that is narrow at the top and wider at the base. It is worn under the djal
Jal’so – the over tunic that falls to the knees. It’s very simple in construction with a wide, square neck, and small cap sleeves. It is open on the right side from the waist down.
Shlith – arm covers that start just below the shoulder. They are secured to the arm with thin ribbons. They fall past the fingers. Shlith is the singular. The plural form is Shlith’em.
Kappi – The wide sash that belts the jal’so at the waist. It wraps around several times and ties at the back
T’lii – form fitting leggings worn under the elurinn
Sori – a simple sandal that laces up the leg in a crisscross fashion up to a few inches below the knees. They are laced over the dan’ya, pinning them down.
Zulenn – boots that go mid way up the calf.


Many Sutaran women choose to only wear the dan’ya and jal’so with and a thinner belt and a plain sandal for foot wear. Others choose to wear other styles of clothing.
Men are largely unconcerned with shirts, preferring to go bare chested in the warmer seasons. They wear loose pants (hlopath) tucked into the tops of their boots (k’luyinn) and wear a wide band around the waist (quonar). When they do wear shirts (go’shenn), they are loose, v-necked and long sleeved.
A go'ladonn is also sometimes worn.


Sutaran man’s garb is much more complicated than the woman’s clothing. It’s called djinen and consists of
Beliefs
Jali – baggy pants that are tucked into the qot
Tir’rians have a firm belief in an ancient Mother Goddess who is said to have lived in Jek’patel Elora Keverynn which is located in the Tula’tevenn Province. While the Mother is a belief shared in some degree by all five Nomadic people, the Tir’rians place her at the center of their lives, which is quite strange for such a Patriarchal culture. It is because of their strong belief that the other four groups have placed guardianship of the ruins in their hands.
Qot – knee high boots
Koden – under shirt. It has a scoop neck line and elbow length sleeves. It is worn tucked into the jali.
Knetlo – the over shirt is long sleeved and high necked. A half circle is cut out around the collarbone and diamond shapes are cut out of the sleeves on the outside of the arm, exposing part of the koden. From the elbow down, the sleeves are bound with zall.
Zall – thin strings that crisscross  over the sleeves of the knetlo from the elbows to the wrists.
Quapi – a girdle that covers the stomach and groin areas. It is worn on top of the clothing.
Ta’al – a thin belt that is worn over the Quapi and fastens on the left side.


== Beliefs ==
Magic
Sutarans have a belief in the Mother Goddess but there are some who maintain some of the Old Ways. Before the First Darkrider Incursion there were many who venerated the Deity Khallil as well as Angheriveshann, Ester, and Gerelu. To this day, Khallil’s Festival on the 25th day of Dragonhatch is celebrated as it was in the old days. People born on this day are said to be blessed and all, even male children, have an unusually high skill with magic.
Tir'ri is heavily anti-magic. Anything that isn't practiced by one of their shamans (or equivalent in other territories) is seen as heresy.
Shaman magic is ritualistic, involving complex invocations and ritual objects.

The Ayne are specially appointed ambassadors of the Sutaran people. They are always female.
They Ayne carries out negotiations in the name of her Tal'jeerann, who can't always leave her home. As such, her words carry a tremendous amount of weight. It's often said that her word is as good as that of the Tal'jeerann's. Only someone trusted by the Tal'jeerann ever holds this office.
 
SHARLANN
These women are essentially priestesses. It's their duty to lead important ceremonies, such as the ascension of a new Tal'jeerann .
Their role has been heavily downplayed outside of the Nomad Territories following the First Darkrider Incursion. The Sutarans still cling to some of their ancestral religious practices. The sharlann is an important connection to the past while moving forward with the rest of the world. They often act as advisors to the clan leaders and ensure that certain key traditions are observed.
Qualifications
While not necessary, it's beneficial for them to have at least a small amount of magical ability. With magic out of favour, this ability often goes without formal training, but it still useable.
