* History of the Blades of Cara Fahd.

* Finding the Blades and Shattered Pattern.

* The first "indigenous" tribe we've encountered.

* All chiefs take the Name Rejruk.

* Live in Gevosht, a planned community.

* Rite of adulthood; emphasis on patience and focus.

* Train in varied terrain so they can function anywhere.

* Historical need for mounted messengers and couriers.

* Krathis and Titanstroke recognize the value of the Foxes.

* "Town orks," not nomadic the way the other tribes we have discussed.

* Gevosht is your stereotypical "fantasy starter town"

* Little sidebar commentary.
