== Rules of the Camp ==
Given the harsh environment that the Charali have grown accustomed to living in, they have developed very strong hospitality rules to those whom
they might receive as guests. The rationale for these adopted tenets stands because the nomadic peoples of the Plains must already face the
dangers of their lands- why should they face the same while within their homes. As such, it is generally accepted amongst the Charali people that
no murder or other foul play may ever occur within a man's yurt or teepee. Once a man has shared food or water outside his home, the person receiving
these favors is considered a guest and falls under the protection of the Charali who has shared them with him. To disobey either of these rules would be to bring a great dishonor to one's family and ancestors.

When a person enters the camp of another, permission is first asked. They are often greeted with, "Have you eaten?" , A nod to the harsh life most
Charalin life. If accepted, the host offers a place by the fire, food and water enough to comfort the guest. The refusal of hospitality is considered an insult. When accepting hospitality, one accepts the sovereignty of the yurt's owner.

== Law of Nature ==
New arrivals to clans may be subject to the Law of Nature: the new arrivals are subject to single combat with the camp mistress and her first consort.
First blood is usually more than enough to determine which will make decisions in the camp.

== "The Charali Bend" ==

Charalin hospitality and efforts to maintain peace manifests itself in Charalin speech and phrasing. Occasionally, to solve any difficulties, they will engage in a broad series of white lies to smooth things over. It is not so much about the content of the words, but their intent and impact upon the environment and mood. This often called the "Charali bend" by outsiders. When dealing with other races, this has helped cultivate a general distrust of what a Charali says and gives them a reputation as liars. As a rule, a Charalin's surname is often the name of their birth mother. Their Charalin name, given to them on their Naming Day, is secondary to their mother's. Charali will often have a Davite name given or taken by them as well to make their passage through the Western territory easier.
