Gabul-Urd

The Gabul-Urd are a tribal confederacy comprised primarily of the tribes of Gabul and Urd who ruled the southern Hamalfite deserts. The confederecy was brought about by marriages between the shiekhs of the two tribes, resulting in a succession of power with each tribe trading position as the dominate force.
The union's predominate importance in history is the conflict it shared against the prophet Mombadin and his later dynasty.
==Ancestry==
===Banu Gabulid===
The heritage of the Gabulid is harkened back to Gabul, who was reportedly a retainer in the service of the legendary king Shizad al-Girozi. At the dissolution of the kingdom tribal legend contends that Gabul took the youngest daughter of Giroz's fourth wife as a wife and stole off into the desert with his immediate family. From a group of twenty they raided the meager possessions of the faltering Girozi kingdom and attained notoriety.
===Banu Urdid===
The Banu Urdid tribe are descended from the Magi Urdil, predominately a Hamal-i Shea tribe Urdil attained his notoriety and forged his name-sake after being appointed Wali of his respective village in the far south after fending off a band of pirates with his brothers. He took five wives and his children since became Walis themselves, or invaded neighboring villages and took power for themselves.
==History==
The two tribes combined their power first with the marriage of prince Afil al-Urdid and princess Balem al-Gabulid in the Hamalfite year of 3250, either in the month of Zoroisthan or Evadid. The marriage was signed as a pact for a closure of hostilities between the two tribes. But was later ascended to greater power when Afil became Shiekh and married his daughter to the shiekh of the Gabuldid, elevating the relationship of the two tribes. Over successive marriages the power of the two tribes expanded and enjoyed centuries of peace and prosperity between the two.
===Mombadin===
The power of the union would come to falter on the rise of Mombadin who lead a zealous refermative revolt against the union. Fueled by stories of having recieved visions and contact from the goddesses L'wna and C'lestia he seized the core territories of the tribal union and his sons embarked a long compaign against them, ultimately destroying their power and dissolving the union.
===Presently===
The Urdid and Gabulid tribes long faded away after their defeat at the hands of the Mombadid and became staunch resistance against the religious reformations of the Ayba'dhja Asiaha'wabha. Their resistance to conversion or assimilation met with violent dissolution of their tribe until they were all but non-existent. While the tribes do exist today, they are below a shadow of their former selves and census information on the tribes indicate there are perhaps 200 to 300 individuals descended from Urdil and Gabul.
