Tarbete

The Tarbete are semi-nomadic herders who live in the bush lands of the central Veldt. They once controlled a powerful nation near the Sibua Forest, but were
forced out by the Bindo some time ago and migrated farther north and inland, settling along the Tosha River. Their livestock predominately consists of cattle and camels, with goats and sheep as supplementary sources of food. Cattle in particular are central to their culture, and are often paid as a dowry to a groom’s family. Cattle are slaughtered at weddings and funerals; otherwise their milk and blood supplements a diet made up of maize, rice, beans, and tea. The Tarbete rely heavily on their livestock, discovering that agriculture cannot be supported in the semiarid regions along the Tosha.
The Tarbete people live in round huts with wooden frameworks covered in woven mats and grass, built by the women. These houses are dismantled and put on pack animals when the tribe is required to move with the herd. Many Tarbete are Karaslaa, observing all the rites and festivals of that religion.
