Tribe
Tribes are groups of monster players that come together for a common, long-term purpose and are the Monster Play equivalent to Kinships for the free peoples of Middle-Earth. There are 4 basic types of Tribes can be formed.
Key Differences between Kinships and Tribes
Tribes do not "rank up" to gain abilities for the Tribe as Kinships do. From creation they have all the core abilities that the tribe will ever have.

Creating a Tribe
To create a Tribe, you must purchase a charter from The Tribal Scrivener Sovairlë in Gramsfoot. The requirements to start a tribe are:
- Cost: 102
40 
(all of them cost the same) - Minimum Rank: 3
- Must not be a member of another Tribe.
The person who created the Tribe is its first leader and from there forward is the Founder of that tribe so, while a member of the tribe they will have access to the founders title for that tribe type. (A Tribe can change its leader.)
There are four types of Tribes but the type simply determines what titles the tribe's members may use:
- Mixed
- Blogmal
- Ongburz
- Tarkrip
Any race can join any type of Tribe. The only difference is in the titles given to its members.
- Note: The leader of a Tribe can change the type of the tribe at any time simply by buying a different type of Tribe starting item.
- See also Social:List of Kinships
- Create new kinship should be used to create a Kinship (or Tribe) article (page), then fill in the appropriate parameters.
