Altayih
Structure
Each tribe of the Altayih is an island, no member of one tribe has any authority whatsoever over those of another. Though outsiders may point to the Māliku as evidence against this, to the Altayih, that role truly is that of an advisor rather than a leader. Few would doubt the wisdom of their words and so the advice is often followed, but never treated as a command.
Culture
The Altayih culture revolves around Khthon's deserts. It is their belief that the original home of their ancestors before their enslavement by the Empire at Issithoss was in the heart of a great desert, and unlike their cousins they dot believe that Abu Salal is that place nor a fitting replacement. They believe that their home has been lost to the world and will only be found through the great physical and spiritual effort of the Altayih. All Altayih are eternally on this quest seeking that place both by literal exploration, and through penance in refusing to settle or inhabit more hospitable regions.
Public Agenda
The Altayih honor the traditions of their ancestors and seek their ancient home. No more and no less.

Legislative Body
The significant majority of the laws of the Altayih are ancient and not subject to change, but so long as those are not contradicted, the Nasīku of each tribe has the ability to add nearly any additional laws they wish. Though this leads to some significant differentiation between them, the frequency with which members are exchanged means that most successful and popular laws eventually proliferate throughout the Altayih.
Judicial Body
The Nasīku serves to judge lawbreakers, but often relies on a council of the elder and wiser tribe members to interpret and advise in this role.
Executive Body
The Labītu are the sentinels of Altayih law, and report directly to their tribe's Nasīku.
