This tribe numbers about 6,000 people. They have a dispute with the Colymar over lands given to the Malani by the Lunar Empire during the Occupation.
The Malani tribe has a long and deserved reputation for violence and war. People say the Malani will fight over anything. For nearly three centuries, their kings (who serve Humakt God-of-War) have ruled from Two Ridge Fort and taken tribute from weaker neighbors. Their latest ruler, Queen Amalda Edrufsdotter, was killed in the Battle of Queens. The tribe is currently leaderless.
The Malani are noted mercenaries and refused to participate in Starbrow's Rebellion (it is widely rumored that Kallyr Starbrow could not afford the price demanded by Sarostip Cold-Eye).
