Samiusi/Maschi (Geigi’s clan, west coast)
The Edi clans (loosely bound to the Maschi, therefore to Tabini: an aboriginal coastal people akin to the Gan. Both Edi and Gan are matrilineal.)
The Gan clans (loosely bound to Dur, therefore to Tabini: an aboriginal Mospheiran people; matrilineal.)
The various mountain clans
The various northern clans
Clans that are not firmly Tabini’s
Kadagidi (Murini’s clan, Padi Valley district: historic allies of the Atageini: they have relatives among the Atageini and the Tasaigi)
The clans of the Marid: the Farai sept of Morigi clan; the Tasaigi; the Dojisigi; etc.
Some clans of the East (bound to Tabini through Ilisidi of Malguri clan, who is their aiji)
A Brief history of the Marid Rebellions
Saigimi and his Samiusi-clan wife, produced Sarimi, who produced Cosadi, who launched many attacks on the north, in attempts to unseat the aiji in Shejidan, the aiji of the whole aishidi’tat—currently Tabini. The whole Marid belongs to the aishidi’tat by treaty, but would like to run the association.
When Saigimi was assassinated, Badissuni of the Amarja District of the Tasaigin Marid went to Tabini hoping to gain favor and a foothold and an apartment in the Bujavid. He died, but had previously married and produced two offspring with Tori, Cosadi’s sister: a son, Mujito and a daughter, Comari. Mujito’s young daughter Tiajo is the one offered in marriage within this account . . . in, just to confuse matters, a scheme led by the Senjin Marid, who have the useful tie to the Maschi (Lord Geigi’s house). They are aided by the Dojisigi Marid, where Mujito’s former wife is aiji . . . who have the available daughter, Tiajo (who is half Tasaigi)—and they are egged on in this venture by the Tasaigin Marid, where Mujito’s blood relative, Machigi, is now aiji, and seeking power on a scale with what Sarimi once had.
This is a situation to watch.
