These tribes live in their places on the continent and, in the olden days, 90% of the population was born in a tribe, but for various reasons, a lot of people broke off their affiliation with their tribes and moved to the central region, Led by the admins. Now, It's down to 40%. This move made most tribes more open minded, letting outsiders affiliate themselves with them and they receive their mark on their arm, as to prevent extension, like the time tribe who is down to the last 50 or so members.
Unaffiliated people have powers based of the tribe their ancestors were in. It can be almost alike or look completely different.
