Hussan Tribe

The Hussan Tribe are one of the Seven Great Tribes of Tanaris, claiming direct descendance from the ancient King Hassani of the Sands, a mythic figure among many Tanari and revered highly by the Hussani. Staunch in the belief of Tanari rule over the sands of the desert, the Hussan Tribe are known for their vicious feuding with pirates along the coastline & lambasting of the Ohmas Tribe for their perceived to foreign rulers, the Hussani are the sole maritime power among the Seven Great Tribes, offering them an advantage to the wider world of Azeroth... if they had the will or desire to move beyond Tanaris' shores.

Origins
As with every tribe of humans living in Tanaris, most can trace their origins to shipwrecked crewmen during The Great Searching period of Eastern Kingdom naval history, occurring roughly between 1900 and 250 years before the arrival of the Orcs & the start of the First War, a period that saw many human ships become lost beyond the Maelstrom in a search for the safe passage across the treacherous waters of the Great Sea. Many also likely can trace their origins to the slavery of humans among the southern empires of Kalimdor roughly 2000 to 10000 years before the Orc's arrival. Regardless of this, most of the Hussani claim to be descendants of King Hassani of the Sands, whom the tribe is named after, along with his 'most loyal and direct followers'.

It's believed that the Hussani interbred with the survivors of Admiral Harris Brookwood's fleet in 340 K.C., a small expedition sent jointly by the Kingdoms of Stormwind & Kul Tiras. This was made apparent following several secretive Archeological expeditions near Muscat & off the coast where several remnants of items, mostly broken coins & several pieces of glass with markings found commonly in the era, along with the circumstantial evidence based on apparent customs, motifs, and history as spoken & partially recorded by the Tribe itself.
 * The Banner of the Tribe has a deep rich green coloration with a golden leonine-like figure as its symbol. Although some argue that the figure represents a tol'vir, it is unlikely the tol'vir would have had much contact with the Tanari tribesmen due to the cloaking field that protected Uldum from the outside world for millenia. Though some artifacts had made their way into Uldum, perhaps a rare few (including tol'vir themselves) had made it out.
 * There is a Hussani legend about 'The Ada'mair', a mysterious man who came from the sea with his tribe and taught the Hussani how to craft ships as well as some members of the Ada'mair's tribe becoming part of the Hussani, although others ventured further into Tanaris.
 * Distinct 3rd century Stormwind sword hilts, made of wood and leather, have been found in caves near Muscat along with broken jars marked with partial stamps of Kul Tiran breweries that existed in the third century of the King's Calender.

Prince of the Hussani
Currently, the Hussani claim direct lineage to Hassani of the Sands, with the Scarab Prince being treated as the rightful heir to the lost empire. The Scarab Prince is a title as much as it is a name. The Royal Family all claim lineage to Hassani and hope to one day restore his empire with them at the heart. As such, the title 'Scarab Prince' could be considered the equivalent to Regent in function, although the Tribe revere him as a King. Upon ascension to the throne, heirs will give up their birth name and only be known as the Scarab Prince (regardless of gender). There is a 'crown' of sorts assosciated with the title, called the Scarba Diem or The Scarab Wreath. Functioning more like a helmet, the Scarba Diem serves as the crown jewel of the Hussani. Made of the blackest obsidian bound by unknown powers, the Diem covers the Scarab Prince's face entirely, allowing him/her to see out but none can see in. This allows the Prince to be the living vessel for the spirit of Hassani. It is believed that, should the Hussani succeed in restoring the empire, the title of Scarab Prince will either become known as Scarab King or that the new King of the Sands will rename themselves Hassani & end the use of the title 'Scarab Prince'.

The current Scarab Prince is a youthful man in his late 20s. His birthname was Masar, which he cast aside upon his ascension at the age of 15.

Military
The Hussani tribe are militant, almost to the point that serving the military cause is the Hussani Tribe's way of life. Every tribesman, including women, are to serve at some point in their lives. Their forces are divided into three separate branches, each with rigid hierarchies that ultimately report to the Scarab Prince & his Viziers. The Hussan do not have magical forces under their command.
 * Rad'amasi (Barbed Stingers): The Radamasi encompass the naval operations of the Hussani, although this does not include the special operations forces. The Rad'amasi use a variety of boats, most also functioning as fishing vessels although the most prolific vessel is called a 'Scarab', which is apt because the boats tend to be stout & wide with scarab armor plating on all sides that allow for speed across the waters, giving them a shiny black appearance.
 * Scopra Ziven (Scorpid's Tail): The special operations forces. Primarily filled with female operatives, the Scopras are tasked with infiltration, covert operation, and assassination. They are known for their heavy use of scorpid blood & poison.
 * Sithar'bhe (Silithid Tooth): The primary land operation forces aka the army & cavalry. Their armor & weaponry tend to be crafted from the hide of Silithid & some even adopt Silithid as pets or mounts.

Lifestyle & Livelihood
While generally a militant culture, the Hussani do engage in trade, fishing, and minor farming. Their primary exports to fellow tribesmen are fish & crabs, although they have a strict no-sale policy to Ohmassi tribesmen & any known affiliates. ((WIP))
