Conspirator

The Gan, northerly, were more strictly fisherfolk, and mostly peaceful.

The Edi, consisting of several subgroups, mostly fought among themselves, when they were not fighting the Marid, until they agreed to accept a Maschi lord, the father of Lord Geigi of the Maschi, seated at Kajiminda.

Among the clans of the Marid, the loss of the west coast in the Resettlement after the War of the Landing was a serious blow. The Marid still has exclusive rights in the whole southern fishing grounds, but it regards the loss of the west coast, though they had few settlements there, as an ongoing wound to their pridec and Edi raids on their shipping and commerce as a grievous wrong.

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 accountc 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 aijic 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.
