Tribes of the Wagons

“And there were four Wagon Peoples, the Paravaci, the Kataii, the Kassars and the dreaded Tuchuk.”
Nomads of Gor, pg 9
 
Paravaci
The Rich People.
Their standard is a large banner of jewels strung on golden wires, forming the head and horn of a bosk. The value of such a standard is incalculable.
The Paravaci brand is a stylized representation of a bosk head; a seme-circle resting on an inverted isosceles triangle.
 
Kataii
Black-skinned.
Their standard is a yellow bow, bound across a black lance.
Their brand is a yellow bow, facing to the left.
 
Kassars
Blood People.
Their standard is scarlet three-weighted bola, hanging from a lance.
Their brand, which is used on both slaves and bosk, is a stylized representation of a bola, three circles joined at the center by lines.
 
Tuchuk
Fiercest of the four tribes of the Wagons People.
Their brand is of two pairs of spreading bosk horns, arranged more or less in the shape of the letter "H".
Their brand incidentally, is not the same as that used in the cities, which for girls is the first letter of the expression Kajira in cursive script, but the sign of the four bosk horns, that of the Tuchuk standard, the brand of the four bosk horns, set in a manner to somewhat resemble the letter H, is only about an inch high.
