Sambari Tribe After the Firebull Rebellion

After the Firebull Rebellion a final settlement of the Sambari situation was not decided upon by the Lunar authorities until Storm Season 1616. A Lunar diplomat from Tarsh, Eslarana Lefthand, was sent to the clan moot of the Roundstone Clan to explain the ruling. The text of the letter is here. The ruling was enforced by a company of the Doblian Dogeaters  regiment commanded by Killer Forga (a Dogeater officer). The following map indicates the situation in Sambari lands following the ruling:

The Enstalos militia and Lunar troops immediately began fortifying the former Sartarite steads and constructing watch towers on Boulder Ridge and Copper Ridge. Gradually the character of the steads was altered as new settlers moved in from the empire. Whilst the Sartarites continued to call the settlements by their old names they were given new foreign names. In addition a land grant was made near Watcher's Ridge to allow the construction of a new Lunar estate.

Clans After the Rebellion

The Sambari rebels have either gone into exile, are hidden in the hills or have recanted. Resentment is common but it is too dangerous to be anti-Lunar so most clans now count as neutral to the Lunars. Several clans have been lost to the Enstalos. In 1617 the population of the Samabari is about 8000 (over 5). These are the clans in 1617:

Group/Clan King/Chief Status Wealth Fighting Quality Fyrd
Sambari Tribe King Roganvarth Loud-Laugh Neutral     1910
Caroman Clan Fantarl Jarstansson Neutral Rich Average 400
Copper Hill Clan Jistin Copper-Helm Neutral Rich Average 380
Her Mercy Clan Veoslin Watcher Neutral Average Average 350
Heranil Clan Orlgard Swordhand Neutral Average Strong 300
Long Runner* Brolos Tarosson* Rebel* Destitute* Average* 150*
Roundstone Clan Moriv Whitebeard Neutral Poor Average 210
Thorn Tree Clan Illig Black and Blue Neutral Average Average 270

*this clan does not officially exist but some are still hidden in the hills. It does not count as part of the tribe’s strength.
