The clanless and Yazirians living in mixed race societies

There is a tendency for the clanless and disinherited to gravitate toward mixed race colonies. Many of the dishonored remain bitter and tend to bond with a mixed race organization: mercenaries, gang, military and find their societal impulses toward fellowship met in these organizations; substituting drinking, fighting, and singing in a bar for the role that clan gatherings held in their lives.<br /><br />The clanless are a sort of second class citizen that is pitied. They gravitate toward mixed raced colonies as their status there bears less stigma. Since they are only clanless and not honorless other yaz with known clan lineages are more open and accepting of them generally. Often when a yazirian community is small on a mixed race colony the community comes together to celebrate key yazirian holidays as a community. Any past clan rivalries are put aside and the community is celebrated. National heros of all yazirians and their deeds are sung. Gifts are given and sweet meets are killed. Depending on the temper of the community the disinherited and disgraced are accepted (not all communities are so welcoming) honor combats are staged and a yaz under a cloud can fight one and the community will generally accept him as a honorable yaz (this acceptance in no way translates back to his clan on Hargut or Hentz or etc.) as far as the community is concerned he's welcomed back.<br /><br />May yaz on mixed race colonies or on a colony with 90% population from 1 race have become more interested in their heritage. they are more likely to carry a zamira etc. <br /><br />A interesting institution has cropped up among these yaz. They have begun to organize Yazirian Clan war re-inactment groups. It is no doubt a borrowing from the human practice. More often then not its of a clan renegade unit or an unit of the imperial Warhon. It seems that the regular meeting and drill and drinking and singing at night during encampments is a soothing substitute for not having a clan present.<br /><br />Note the Family of One frowns on this practice as it supplanted the Imperial Warhon and wiped out his &quot;clan renegade&quot; body guards during the Star Exodus to become the political power in yazirian space.
