Banu Sarran
Ancient Lineage but Only Recently Returned to the Nahasa - Distant Relatives of Banu Hulyan - Enemies Turned Allies / Clients - Openly Prideful "Upstarts" - Aggressive Poets with Ties to the Jawwal - They've Sworn Vengeance over Nimr on the Banu Qild, Specifically Tais
Tier 4
The current Sultan of Aserai is Unqid. He wears his authority lightly, preferring to charm rather than to coerce, always deferring to the laws of the Banu Asera in his judgments. But there are some who say that Unqid is remiss in his duty to administer justice, allowing the wealthiest clans - such as his own - to use bribes and clever legal arguments to oppress the others.
This clan is part of the Aserai.

<string id="str_political_philosophy_lord_3_3_for_lord_3_1" text="{=gpuxIEBl}We are the Banu Sarran. Our lineage is as old as is any of the Aserai. Our forefather Sarran was a grandson of Asera, no less than Qild or Hulyan. . But a hundred years ago we were driven into the desert. Only recently have we returned. The others look down on us for this." />

The Banu Sarran are recently settled bedouin, who seized the Banu Hulyan's holdings in the outer oases but were eventually accepted as clients and vassals. They are thought of as upstarts by the others, a reputation which they in fact relish. They celebrate their nomadic past with carefully poems on their success in battle over the other tribes, or in seducing the other tribes' daughters. This does not endear them to other Asuris. They maintain close ties with the Jawwal, a clan of outcasts who still keep the nomadic lifestyle.

Nimr was a young warrior of the Banu Sarran who led the Aserai contingent at the battle of Pendraic. He was executed by the Banu Qild after seducing a young woman of that clan. <!-- Nimr, slain by the al-Qildis --> <!-- Nimr --> |
