Ziarut people

The Ziarut are the tribe to which Lali belongs.  From this, I have drawn inspiration from nomadic tribespeople living in the Alborz Mountains of Northern Iran, just south of the Caspian Sea.  But I have also based the tribe roughly on the nomadic mongal-speaking tribes who were united under Genghis Khan.  Genghis used Turkish tribes and light cavalry .  Talish is the main character in my story, who unites the tribes together and draws them to invade other countries.  As his power grows he also 'buys' troops from different lands to fight for him.  He abuses Lali and forces her out of the tribe.
